How Your Lake City Attorney Can Assist with Your Personal Injury Case

There are numerous benefits to hiring Douglas & Douglas to represent you. Our team will manage all the details, so you only have to work on your recovery. Some of the ways we can help include:

  • Handle all communication with the at-fault party’s insurance and/or attorney;
  • Negotiate your medical bills and make sure providers know the status of your case;
  • Investigate and find all liable parties;
  • Retain experts, like a doctor who can attest to your injuries, whether treatment was reasonable and necessary, and what the future prognosis is;
  • Handle all negotiations with the other side; and
  • Prepare a trial strategy if the case doesn’t appear it will settle out of court.

Types of Compensation Recoverable in a Personal Injury Case

Depending on the circumstances of your individual personal injury case, there are different types of compensation that you may be entitled to. These include:

  • Reimbursement of medical expenses, including hospital, physical therapy, etc.;
  • Compensation for future medical expenses and treatment;
  • Reimbursement for damages to your physical property, like your vehicle;
  • Loss of earnings, which can include a figure for future time off or reduced earning capacity in the event you cannot do the same job you had prior to the accident; and
  • Pain and suffering you endured.

In select scenarios, the court may issue an award for punitive damages. These are only awarded in extreme cases when the court feels the defendant’s actions were so egregious, he or she needs to be punished.
