The type of injury you received, where it
happened, and when it happened will all have an impact on the overall value of
your personal injury claim. What many people don’t realise, though, is that the
long-term effects someone has after suffering their injury will also impact the
value of their claim. Also known as residual injury, long-term effects from
personal injuries may involve joint stiffness, scarring, disfigurement,
residual disability etc. may have an impact on your quality of life. This is
why many personal injury attorneys will ask for higher financial compensation
for those who might suffer from the effects of long-term residual
injuries.
The value of each claim will vary according
to the type of injury that they received. Common residual injuries such as
scars and joint pain or stiffness may not be as valuable if they are not
presently visible. Justifiable compensation will certainly be taken into
account for certain scarring, and of course for those who suffer disfigurement
from the injury. As with all injuries, documentation is very important. Continuing with aftercare treatment from a
qualified healthcare professional will go a long way in helping to prove, even
increase the value of your personal injury claim. If you have been injured in
