Damages Awards

An accident compensation lawyer will divide damages awards into two main categories. The first is called special damages which is compensation that can be calculated accurately on a mathematical basis with no serious element of assessment. Special damages are proven by documenting evidence of loss of money. Receipts, invoices and quotations must be retained and documented and the judge will take a look at them to determine if they are related to the accident. The other main category of compensation is called general damages which cannot be determined mathematically and requires assessment by a judge (or agreement between the parties).

Reasonable Loss Claim

All reasonably incurred losses can be claimed provided that they are foreseeable and are not deemed to be unpredictable and remote. There are numerous areas of compensation including which is not an exhaustive list :-

• Pain and suffering caused by the injury. This can include long term consequences of pesonal injury.
• Wage loss due to an inability to work. This includes current loss of wages and potential future loss of wages.
• Compensation for any loss of promotions due to injury.
• Loss of lifestyle.
• Disadvantages in the labor market due to permanent injury or to current illness.
• loss of congenial occuptation
• Inability to carry on one’s current job.
• Inability to be able to carry out leisure activities.
• Inability to do favored hobbies or sports due to injury.
• Lack of ability to enjoy those things one normally enjoys.
• Medical expenses associated with the accident including long term expenses because of the injury.
• Vehicular damage repair charges or the full value of a car damaged beyond repair.
• Increase in cost of motor insurance in the future.
• Loss in value of a repaired car.
• Cost of car hire on a temporary basis whilst repairs are carried out.
• Interest on any monetary losses that accrue from the date of the accident or from the date of legal proceedings.

Lump Sum or Periodical Payments

If there is a reasonable chance that you will come down with a serious illness in the future because of the accident, the accident compensation lawyer may split out the compensation award to a current claim and a future claim. A lump sum may be awarded or an order for periodic payments may more appropriate so that there is a continuous influx of money to help a disabled person live with their injury.

Time Limits

If it wasn't your fault then someone else must pay and if you have suffered trauma in an accident then you may be able to recover compensation. Each Province has its own regulations regarding limitation law which outline the time within which legal action must be commenced if the right to claim compensation for injury it is not to become 'statute barred'. Limitation periods vary from Province to Province and you should take legal advice as soon as possible after your accident to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
