After an accident that is caused by someone’s negligence, victims are immediately rushed to hospital to get their injuries sustained proper treatment such as cleaning and covering scapes and treatment and surgery for broken bones, teared muscles and possiblity of damage in brain and bleeding of internal organs. In serious road accidents, surgery should be done to correct and save someone’s life and to avoid disabilities after. Looking at the legal field, it is considered as a strength for the side of victim that one of them had an ongoing surgery or requiring an injury to undergo to a surgery since it has high compensation and has more value then those who doesn’t need surgery. This event, might not say, but it benefits the family as they will receive enormous amount of compensation which can be used to cover medical bills and other bills that they would encounter following the accident as staying hospitals even putting surgery bills aside, it is still huge amount to sum it all up.
How does your lawyer puts value to your injury claim with surgery?
These are the things that your lawyer would put in mind to calculate how much does these all total to be charged to the defendant’s insurer:
The need of surgery itself
A doctor’s declaration that when someone requires a surgery in order to heal or prevent worse outcomes as a result of accident due to other driver’s negligence, it is already a valuable information and your lawyers would talk filing large amount of compensation already. Even injuries that doesn’t need surgeries, if damage and possibility of lose of income and emotional damage is there, the amount of compensation would pile up already. Your lawyer would decide such amount is because the amount to cover damage being done and the incoming additional damage is pretty high when it comes to involving surgery as recuperation time is long which means, absence to work or business is certain and surgery itself costs a lot.
Type of Damage and what surgery is needed to be performed
Depending where is the most damaged part of a victim that requires surgery may add value to the claim as surgeries scales depending on the place of surgery should be done. Different surgery spots cost different as every part has unique tools that will be used to perform it properly and different professional will handle the surgery that has different pays too. Some surgery that occurs, if the severity of the damage sustained is serious, require multiple surgeon and numerous sessions too which will help your case to add more value and strengthen it as well.
Emotional Damage
Emotional Damages can increase the value of the claim when totaled by your lawyer as there would be the existence of tendency to admit the victim to a rehabilitation center days right after recuperating from the injuries since for some, they have unexpected this incident and could leave them in fear and trauma and this could form a mental condition if unchecked. Given this, additional medical bills for the institution where the family would take him and the treatment itself. Your lawyers thought about this and would add it to the total value of your claim.
