What types of compensation can I expect to receive in a personal injury claim?

The primary types of compensation you can expect to receive in a personal injury claim in Oklahoma are economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are quantifiable losses incurred due to the injury, such as medical bills, lost wages, and the cost of property damage. Non-economic damages can include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of companionship. More specifically, you may be able to receive compensation for medical bills associated with the accident (past, present, and future), lost wages or the inability to earn an income or wages (past, present, and future), property damage, disfigurement, diminished enjoyment of life, and physical pain and suffering. Additionally, you may be able to receive compensation for mental or emotional anguish, loss of companionship or loss of consortium with your spouse, and punitive damages, if the injury or damage was caused by gross negligence or intentional harm. As every claim is unique, an experienced personal injury lawyer can best advise you on the types of compensation you may be eligible to receive.
