Determining Your Compensation Request with New Jersey Car Accident Lawyers

Your New Jersey car accident lawyers will help you to determine how much you should ask for in compensation for your injuries after an accident.

New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyers Will Help with Deciding On Compensation Amounts

Medical expenses are often the biggest costs in a personal injury claim. It is imperative that you retain the records and bills from doctors, hospitals and other expenses that accrued because of your accident. Injuries can lead to an inability to work. With many jobs, this results in having to take unpaid leave, vacation time and losing pay. To accurately gauge your economic loss, you will need to provide your lawyer with your payroll and employment records. The payroll records will detail your income, advancement and other important facts about your earnings.

You Will Need to Provide Work Information for Your Case

If you lost your job because of your injuries, your New Jersey personal injury lawyers will need statements from your employer or your supervisor regarding your work performance and potential for the future. When you are giving a deposition, there is a chance you will forget certain information such as dates, how much you were paid and more. With a payroll summary and tax returns, all records will be clear.

The Importance of Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering is frequently the hardest part of a case to prove. You will have to show how the accident has negatively affected you. Keeping a record of the pain you experience on a daily basis and what your injuries have prevented you from doing can help your lawyer calculate a reasonable amount of compensation to ask for in your case. Listing what you used to do before the accident that you are limited or unable to do since the accident can show how the accident has damaged your life.
