Attorney for San Francisco Injury Claims

Financial Compensation

The primary purpose in filing a San Francisco personal injury claim is to seek financial compensation that will allow the victim to rebuild his or her life and move on. An injury or accident may have serious consequences for a victim, often leading to financial difficulties due to medical bills and lost wages from missed work. The financial compensation awarded in a personal injury settlement or jury verdict can help a victim pay for medical expenses, future medical care and continued treatment, and may also cover the lost wages the victim experienced from missed work. It may also cover a loss of earning potential, in situations where the victim can no longer work in the same field or is unable to work at all.

Because we cannot go back in time and stop an injury from occurring in the first place, financial compensation is the way justice is sought in a San Francisco personal injury claim. The responsible party, whether an individual or a business, is held financially responsible for the victim's injuries. Economic and non-economic damages may be awarded, covering lost wages, medical bills and psychological trauma.

What is My San Francisco Personal Injury Case Worth?

Determining what your case is worth is an important step in the legal services that a San Francisco personal injury lawyer will provide for you when you work with our law firm. We need to assess the extent of physical injury, financial damages and emotional trauma in order to determine what amount of financial compensation should be paid by the responsible party. Particularly in regard to non-economic damages, this can be particularly difficult. That is why we work with expert witnesses in various fields to properly determine what your case should be worth, including medical professionals, economists, psychologists and more.
