When another party's negligence or irresponsible conduct is the cause of your injuries, you should not be stuck with the bill. You are already dealing with the psychological distress and physical implications of the accident you were involved in.
You have the right to be compensated for every loss. A Bartlett, TN, personal injury attorney at Cory Watson Attorneys could help you demand justice.
Types of Compensation Available in Personal Injury Claims
As a personal injury victim in Bartlett, Tennessee, you have the right to be made whole. This is a legal phrase, which means you have the right to be compensated for every loss you have experienced due to another party's negligence.
A wide variety of losses could be recovered in any personal injury claim. To ensure you are being compensated fairly, your lawyer will need to categorize your losses as economic or non-economic. Economic damages, also called special damages, will account for all your monetary or out-of-pocket financial losses. Examples of economic damages could include:
- All of your medical expenses, including prescription drug costs, diagnostic expenses, ongoing treatment, physical or occupational therapies, ambulance bills, hospital stays, transportation costs, and all of the medical care you may require in the future
- Loss of household services, which might include the costs of hiring childcare providers or household maintenance workers
- Your loss of income and potential future earnings, including retirement savings contributions, vacation pay, bonuses, holiday pay, and other employee benefits
- The costs of increases to your auto insurance, health insurance, or life insurance premiums
- The financial implications of damage to your credit score and report
You also have the right to be compensated for non-economic damages. These are also commonly referred to as general damages. These do not have a financial value because they are subjective. Your personal injury lawyer will need to quantify these losses so you can be compensated fairly. Examples of non-economic damages include:
- Your loss of a relationship with your close friends and family
- Your loss of an intimate relationship with your spouse
- The reduced quality of life you have experienced
- Your chronic physical pain and suffering
- The emotional distress you experience on a day-to-day basis
- The embarrassment from debilitating skin scars and disfiguring injuries
- Damage to your personal and professional reputations
Your lawyer will further discuss how your life has been affected by your personal injuries in the accident that caused them to calculate the value of your claim.

You will not be expected to pay anything if your lawyer does not win your personal injury claim in Bartlett.

There is a Deadline to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Tennessee
Taking action on your personal injury claim in Tennessee, has never been more important. But, unfortunately, the statute of limitations has already begun counting down. The law only allows for a maximum of one year to pass before this deadline expires.
If the statute of limitations runs out and your personal injury claim has not been filed, the court system will refuse to hear your case. Additionally, we need enough time to gather compelling evidence to support your case. This evidence may only be available for a limited time after the accident. The sooner you contact our law firm for help, the better.
