Cuánto esperar de los acuerdos de accidentes automovilísticos

*Lo siguiente no es un consejo legal: para un análisis completo del valor de su caso, llame a nuestra firma hoy.

Las reclamaciones por lesiones personales están destinadas a cubrir los costos en que incurre una lesión. Estos costos se dividen en dos categorías diferentes: daños económicos y no económicos. Los daños económicos son bastante fáciles de calcular, ya que son naturalmente cuantificables. Los daños no económicos son un poco más difíciles de manejar, ya que intentan compensar conceptos abstractos como el dolor, el sufrimiento y el compañerismo.


Los daños cubiertos por reclamos por lesiones personales incluyen:

  • Salarios perdidos
  • Gastos médicos
  • Daño a la propiedad
  • Daño moral
  • Ansiedad y estrés
  • Potencial de ingresos perdido
  • Costos médicos futuros
  • La dificultad de la vida diaria.
  • Renovación para adaptarse a lesiones

Cuando se trata de calcular su caso, considere primero sus gastos médicos actuales y los salarios perdidos actuales. Estos son fácilmente demostrables a través de la documentación. Ahora considere los costos médicos a largo plazo de su lesión. ¿Necesitará fisioterapia o medicación? ¿Equipo (por ejemplo, sillas de ruedas)?

Si se necesita asesoramiento o terapia emocional, ¿cuánto costará? Querrá calcular los costos anuales de sus gastos médicos futuros y multiplicarlos por los años restantes de su expectativa de vida, dado que vive una vida plena. Si su lesión ha afectado potencialmente su expectativa de vida, no lo tome en consideración; suponga que vivirá una vida promedio.

Considere sus ganancias. Si no puede trabajar o ya no puede trabajar con la misma capacidad, calcule cuánto serán sus ingresos anuales ahora ser. Reste eso de los ingresos que haría haber ganado en plena salud, y multiplicar eso por los años restantes de esperanza de vida. Este es su ingreso perdido estimado por el resto de su vida. Incluya aumentos y promociones si tenía motivos razonables para esperarlos.

Cuando suma todo esto, tiene una estimación bastante aproximada de cuánto vale su caso en relación con los daños económicos. Para lesiones graves que cambian la vida, esta cantidad puede multiplicarse para compensar su angustia mental y su lucha diaria a medida que se adapta a una nueva vida. Sin embargo, no dependa demasiado de esta cifra: nuestra firma trabajaría con expertos para dar cuenta de la inflación, asegurándose de que su futuro esté realmente cuidado.
