- Medical Expenses: Including emergency care, surgeries, and ongoing treatments.
- Lost Wages: Reimbursement for time missed from work due to recovery.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and trauma.
- Scarring and Disfigurement: Addressing the long-term impact of visible injuries.
- Rehabilitation Costs: Covering physical therapy or counseling needs.
Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case, gather evidence, and build a strong claim to ensure you receive full and fair compensation.
