What Types of Recoverable Damages Can I Receive?
The damages you can claim are dependent on your individual circumstances. However, some of the damages we may discuss include:
- Medical costs
- Lost wages
- Anticipated treatment costs in the future
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of earning capacity
- Costs for accessibility modification of your home
- Assistive devices or prosthetics
The dollar amount for damages, such as pain and suffering, is often dependent on the value of economic damages, such as your medical bills and lost wages. This helps keep the non-economic damages proportionate to the physical costs. For example, the pain and suffering one might experience from losing a leg is likely to vary greatly from the loss of a finger on your non-dominant hand.
How Long Do I Have To File an Amputation Injury Claim in Massachusetts?
The state of Massachusetts typically imposes a 3 year statute of limitations for civil actions against a private citizen. However, you may only have a few months if the responsible party is a government entity. Additionally, you may have more time than you think in circumstances that trigger a tolling of the statute of limitations.
To ensure you know how long you have to file your claim, you should discuss your situation with a Salem amputation injury attorney.
