Claiming compensation for pain and suffering after an accident

Questioner

I was knocked over by a dog while I was walking and suffered a broken knee from which I have since recovered. The dog owner's insurance company has now acknowledged liability for the accident and is prepared to compensate me for the damage I suffered. I have now made a list of travel expenses cost resources lost revenue paid deductible I lost my job through the employment agency because of this accident. Can I now also claim compensation and if so, how much?

Lawyer

Fortunately, you have recovered. You can indeed list all relevant costs, and you are also entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. In such a case, you would be wise to engage a personal injury specialist who will represent your interests in order to achieve higher compensation. The legal costs to be incurred will also be reimbursed in this case, so it will not cost you anything. I would be happy to assist you in this case.

How unfortunate that you have sustained injuries as a result of the accident. I understand that the owner of the dog has acknowledged liability. That is good. All the costs you have incurred and all the damage you have suffered as a result of the accident must now be paid by the insurer. This does indeed include the damage you have listed, including compensation for pain and suffering, but that is not all. For example, consider your own risk on your health insurance. But it is also important to secure your future. Because what if you still have problems with your knee in the future? I am a personal injury lawyer myself and also a member of the LSA, the specialist association of personal injury lawyers. I became a personal injury lawyer because I myself was the victim of an injury. Now that liability has been acknowledged, I can recover all your personal injury damages from the liable party free of charge. The costs for legal assistance are also paid by the insurer.
