What Compensation can you Expect from your Personal Injury Claim?

When someone suffers a personal injury and decides to initiate a claim to obtain fair compensation, many questions arise; however, the most common question is, “How much money can I get for damages”? 

In Mexico, as in many other countries, there is no exact dollar figure for the payment of damages, and in order to obtain an estimate for compensation, different aspects must be considered, as each case is unique.

The amount of compensation you will recover depends on what type of economic and non-economic damages are involved in your case.

Damages and Expense Include:

-Medical expenses;
-Travel expenses;
-Vacation expenses (if applicable);
-Loss of earning potential;
-Vehicle or other property damages,
-Pain & suffering,
-Expenses caused by injuries and Damages.

These amounts may vary for different reasons, but the main reason depends on how the compensation is obtained. In other words, whether the compensation is obtained as an out-of-court settlement or as a judicial resolution in a Mexican court.

If compensation is obtained through an out-of-court settlement agreement, moral damage (pain and suffering) is typically not considered, because it can only be requested in court. The medical expenses and expenses incurred from the injury directly must be reimbursed; however, in a negotiation, it is challenging to reimburse the costs that your medical insurance has covered. In addition, if you could not enjoy your vacation due to the injuries you suffered, then these expenses can also be considered. The lawyer's experience is essential in the negotiation; their expertise and skill can make sure you obtain a fair settlement. .

On the other hand, if the compensation is obtained through a favorable resolution by the court, after a long and stressful trial, it is a fact that the amount will be more significant. However, in order to recover the expenses derived from the trial in Mexico, you and your lawyer must initiate another legal proceeding to request them.
