Have you been injured in an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. However, it is important to understand how compensation is calculated in a personal injury case in Pennsylvania. There are several factors that a court will consider when determining compensation, and it can be a complicated process. In this blog post, we will explore the various factors that are considered when calculating compensation in a personal injury case in Pennsylvania.
There are two types of compensation that you may be entitled to in a personal injury case: economic and non-economic. Economic compensation includes things like medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic compensation includes things like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
When determining compensation in a personal injury case, a Pennsylvania court will consider several factors. These include the severity of your injuries, the impact of the injury on your life, the extent of your medical treatment, the amount of lost wages or income, and any future medical expenses you may incur as a result of the injury.
Pennsylvania is a comparative negligence state, which means that the amount of compensation you receive may be reduced if you are partially at fault for the accident. For example, if you were texting while driving and got into an accident, a court may determine that you were 25% at fault for the accident. As a result, your compensation may be reduced by 25%.
In most cases, the person or entity responsible for the accident will be responsible for paying compensation. This may include an individual, a business, or an insurance company. It is important to note that there are certain limits on the amount of compensation that can be paid, depending on the type of case.
If you have been injured in an accident, it is important to work with an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you navigate the legal system and ensure that you receive the compensation you are entitled to. An attorney can help you understand the factors that will be considered when determining compensation, and can advocate on your behalf throughout the legal process.
