If you were injured in a vehicle accident, slip and fall, dog attack, hospital mistake, or other accident that was not your fault, you could be eligible for compensation that covers your medical expenses and more. You can get help covering your medical costs by filing a compensation claim.
Medical expenses that should be covered include:
- Emergency treatment, including transportation
- Surgery
- Hospitalization
- Follow-up doctor visits
- Medications
- Ongoing rehabilitation and therapy
- Medical equipment such as a wheelchair
- Alterations to a home or vehicle to accommodate a disability
- Physical pain and emotional suffering
To be eligible for compensation in these cases, you must prove that you were injured and that the injury caused you harm. An experienced personal injury lawyer will have the skills to determine the value of current and future medical expenses in order to demand a settlement that will cover all of your losses.
