10 May Recovering More Than You Think: Financial Repercussions of Injuries on Long Island
An injury on Long Island can disrupt your life in a heartbeat. Beyond the physical pain, there’s the financial burden that often comes as a surprise. Here at Gruenberg Kelly Della, we understand the hidden costs of injuries and want to empower you to seek the compensation you deserve.
The Ripple Effect of Injury Costs
Medical bills can quickly spiral out of control, even with health insurance. You might face unexpected charges for ambulance rides, emergency room visits, specialist consultations, physical therapy, and medications. Lost wages add another layer of stress, especially if your injury prevents you from working entirely or limits your ability to perform your regular duties.
The impact doesn’t stop there. Depending on the severity of your injury, you might need modifications to your home or vehicle, incur childcare costs if you can’t care for your children, or require long-term care services. These additional expenses can quickly deplete your savings and put your financial security at risk.
Types of Damages Recoverable in a Personal Injury Case
Thankfully, New York law allows injury victims to recover compensation for various damages, including:
- Medical Bills: This covers past, present, and future medical expenses related to your injury.
- Lost Wages: You can recover compensation for income lost due to your injury, including missed work hours and potential future reductions in earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: This covers the physical and emotional distress caused by your injury.
- Property Damage: If your personal belongings were damaged in the accident (e.g., car accident), you can seek compensation for repairs or replacements.
- Out-of-Pocket Expenses: This includes expenses directly related to your injury, such as transportation costs to doctor appointments, medical supplies, or home care services.
