Understanding the Value of Your Injury Claim 

After a car accident, one of the first questions you might ask yourself is, “What kind of compensation can I expect?” 

It’s a fair question. And while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, knowing what affects the value of your claim can help you feel more in control during such an uncertain time. 

At Kitchel Law, we take the time to look at every factor that impacts your case. Our goal is to make sure you’re compensated fairly for all of your losses—whether those are immediate, like medical bills, or long-term, like lost wages. 

Here are the main types of damages you may be entitled to, and how each one reflects the true impact of the accident on your life:

This covers the cost of treatments related to your injuries, such as: 

• Emergency care and hospital stays 

• Doctor visits, specialists, and physical therapy 

• Prescriptions and medical equipment 

• Future medical expenses if your injuries require long-term care 

Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity

We put that insider knowledge to work for you, building strong cases that anticipate what’s coming and keep you protected. 

Early in our careers, we also worked in the courtroom as clerks, learning firsthand how cases are evaluated. That experience helps us craft arguments that connect with judges and juries alike.
