What Compensation Do We Seek for Our Clients?Jacob Shapiro at the Shapiro Legal Group is your personal advocate. When you suffer a serious injury due to someone else's negligence you deserve maximum compensation. Mr. Shapiro works tirelessly to collect the evidence necessary to prove to the insurance company that you deserve compensation. Some of the categories of compensation we help our clients recover in their cases include: Medical Expenses Even if your health insurance, or auto insurance, company pays some or all of your bills, our team works to get compensation for all of your recoverable medical expenses, past and future, you will incur while recovering from your injury. These medical expenses can include, but are not limited to: - Ambulance transportation costs
- Emergency room visits
- Physician office visits
- Therapy and treatment costs
- Prescription medication costs
- Medical equipment
- Hospitalizations
- Surgeries
- On-going rehabilitation
- Psychotherapy treatments
Lost Wages and Loss of Earning Capacity Even a minor injury can require time away from work to recover. The more serious the injury, the more a victim may need to take time off. This can mean little or no income and severe difficulties with household expenses. Our law firm not only seeks compensation for those lost wages, including used PTO, but we also ensure that if our clients cannot return to work fully (or at the same earning capacity as before the accident) then they receive fair compensation for the loss in future earnings as well. If you must change careers because of your injuries, your new career may not pay as much as the job you had before. You can receive compensation for the loss in pay so that you do not suffer financially for that difference. Lastly, any time you have to take off work for medical treatment or consultation appointments related to your accident should be compensated as well. Pain and Suffering No dollar amount can take away the physical pain and emotional suffering you experience after an accident. But it is our firm's goal to help you recover as much monetary compensation as possible for these general damages. Any physical pain or emotional distress you suffer may qualify for recoverable compensation. It can include emotional distress, physical pain, adverse changes in your quality of life, and even a general loss of enjoyment of life. Wrongful Deaths When a family member dies because of the negligent acts of another, Mr. Shapiro aggressively seeks compensation for this severe loss - including the financial impact on the loved ones left behind. We also ensure that heirs receive compensation for funeral and burial costs and any loss of earnings that would have been contributed to the household by their deceased family member. Note: Compensation amounts vary depending on the unique circumstances of each case. The only way to find out what categories of compensation you are eligible for is to meet with a lawyer first.
