Future Damages In A Florida Personal Injury Case

PI_3

After suffering injuries due to another party’s negligence, you have the right to recover compensation through a personal injury claim. In a Florida personal injury claim, you can recover compensation for past and present economic and non-economic damages. These damages comprise a significant portion of the damages pursued in a personal injury claim. On top of recovering compensation for past and present economic and non-economic damages, you can also recover compensation for future economic and non-economic damages. Among the future damages that you can be compensated for in a Florida personal injury claim are future medical expenses. This is true if you suffered a long-lasting injury that will require more medical care in the future after your claim has been closed. It is crucial that you calculate the cost of your future medical expenses and/or other future damages you are qualified to recover, so you can secure your future. An attorney can help you with this.

What Future Damages Can You Recover in a Florida Personal Injury Case?

One of the well-known future damages you can recover in a Florida personal injury case is future medical expenses. When you suffer an injury that needs medical care even after your injury case has been closed, the at-fault party should compensate you for the costs you will incur while seeking medical care in the future. Your doctor or a medical expert may be able to help determine the medical care you will need in the future and how much you are likely to spend in pursuit of that medical care. Any future medical costs you will likely incur because of your injury can be included in your compensation. This includes;

  • Surgery costs
  • Therapy and rehabilitative costs
  • Diagnostic tests
  • Modifications to your home
  • Hospital bills

When calculating future medical expenses, it is crucial to remember to factor in potential inflation costs. Due to inflation, the prices of medical goods and services may increase over time.

Apart from future medical expenses, other future damages you may be eligible to recover in your Florida personal injury claim include future loss of earning capacity and future pain and suffering. If you can no longer do the same job you did before your accident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for future loss of earning capacity. Even if you were not working at the time of your accident, you might still be eligible to recover compensation for future loss of earning capacity. Your attorney can determine how much you would have made in the future if you were not injured.

When it comes to calculating future pain and suffering, your attorney will include the physical, emotional, and mental pain your injury will likely cause you in the future. Proving that you deserve compensation for future pain and suffering can be challenging, but it is doable. For example, if a physician can testify about your recovery time, the severity of your injury, and the pain you suffer, it can help with your claim for compensation for future pain and suffering.
