Trusted Legal Representation for Personal Injury Lawsuits
If you’ve been injured in an accident, the immediate financial burdens can be overwhelming. The constant stream of medical bills and the stress of lost income can add a new layer of suffering to your recovery. At Berkowitz & Weitz Law, P.C., our NYC injury lawyers are dedicated to helping you recover all of your economic damages. We fight to ensure you are fully compensated for every dollar you have lost, so you can focus on your health, not your finances.
What Are Economic Damages in a Personal Injury Case?
Economic damages are the quantifiable, out-of-pocket costs directly related to your accident and injuries. These are the expenses that have a clear price tag, and you have a right to recover them from the at-fault party. Our legal team meticulously calculates and aggressively pursues all of your financial losses.
Common Types of Economic Damages We Recover:
- Past and Future Medical Expenses: This includes everything from the immediate costs of your emergency room visits and hospital stays to the long-term expenses of physical therapy, prescription medications, home healthcare, and even future surgeries. We work with medical professionals to accurately project these lifelong costs.
- Lost Wages and Income: An injury can force you to miss work, resulting in a direct loss of income. We not only recover the wages you have already lost but also fight for compensation for a loss of earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or earning a similar wage in the future.
- Property Damage: If your car, motorcycle, or other personal property was damaged in the accident, the costs to repair or replace it are a part of your economic damages.
- Out-of-Pocket Expenses: We also account for less obvious costs, such as transportation to medical appointments, childcare, or domestic help if your injuries prevent you from performing daily tasks.
How We Build a Strong Case for Your Financial Recovery
While your bills and pay stubs provide a starting point, securing full compensation requires a detailed and strategic approach. Our New York personal injury lawyers work with a network of financial experts, vocational specialists, and medical professionals to:
- Accurately Calculate Future Losses: We don’t just look at what you’ve lost already. We project your future medical costs and loss of earning capacity to ensure you are compensated for a lifetime of care.
- Gather Critical Evidence: We organize and present your medical bills, wage statements, and other financial records in a clear and compelling way to insurance companies and, if necessary, to a jury.
- Negotiate Aggressively: Insurance companies will often try to minimize your settlement. We handle all communication with them and use our years of experience to fight for a fair and just recovery.
Your focus should be on your physical recovery, not on the stress of financial hardship. Let our NYC injury lawyers for medical bills and lost wages handle the legal complexities of your case.
