Personal injury cases are generally handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning that the attorney handling the case only gets paid if his or her client receives a favorable outcome. This system works well because it allows for clients to obtain representation in situations where they otherwise may not be able to afford it. In addition, it aligns the interests of the attorney with the client’s in a very tangible way, ensuring that the attorney provides zealous representation and works to obtain the highest possible settlement or award.
There are many types of damages that may be available in a personal injury case, including for both economic and non-economic losses. Economic damages are awarded for ascertainable financial losses such as medical expenses, lost income, loss of future earnings, or rehabilitative care. Non-economic damages can include compensation for losses such as pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, loss of companionship, or inability to engage in sexual activity.
