What Damages Can You Recover in Your Premises Liability Claim?
When someone else’s negligence causes your premises liability accident, you have the right to recover total compensation for your damages. This means you should be repaid for each and every loss you suffered as a result of your premises liability injuries. To ensure that every loss is taken into consideration, your lawyer will categorize your losses as economic or non-economic under Massachusetts Ch 231 Section 60F.
Economic damages are financial in nature. They might include:
- Property damages
- Medical expenses
- Loss of household services
- Diminished earning capacity
- Lost wages
- Costs of increased insurance premiums
Non-economic damages do not have a monetary value. They encompass the ways your life has been affected by your injuries. Some of the more common types of non-economic damages you could collect in your premises liability claim include:
- Pain and suffering
- Lost quality of life
- Loss of consortium
- Emotional distress
- Disfigurement
- Skin scarring
Your lawyer will need to go over these losses in great detail to ensure that they are quantified appropriately. You will want to be sure to see compensation for the ways your life may be impacted by the accident and your injuries in the future as well.
For example, if you suffered a serious back injury in a slip and fall accident, you may require ongoing medical treatment in the future. After going over your damages extensively, your attorney will have a better understanding of what your Milton premises liability lawsuit is worth.
