In a Knoxville accident, and really across the state of Tennessee, victims of negligence are entitled to not just payment of their medical costs and bills but also recovery of any types of lost earnings that they have. If it’s a salaried employee, that can be documented that way, but also for people who are entrepreneurs, who are business people, who are self-employed, you’re entitled to the losses that you suffer as a result of the negligent injury that takes you out of the workforce for that period of time.
Also, if your injuries are permanent, future lost earnings as well as future medical costs, can be recovered. Those are things that we work very hard to document. Also, an injured person is entitled to pain and suffering that results from the injuries from the negligence, and those are documented in medical records. So it’s best to seek medical treatment, not just sit at home and try to self-medicate.
Also, there may be witnesses, there may be co-workers, family members, church members, that may be able to testify or to give their stories about what they’ve observed in the way of your pain and suffering. Also, individuals may have permanent injuries, and in cases like that, it’s important to be able to document and to get evidence of future medical needs and medical costs, future lost earnings, and missed time from work, and of course future pain and suffering.
