Every injury is different. A serious spine or brain injury can require many expensive tests, surgeries and potentially long-term care. So it’s helpful to understand that every case is different; there is no one-size-fits-all legal strategy. Generally speaking, in Pennsylvania, an injured person will seek compensation that covers their current and future medical expenses, lost income and lost future income. If an injury prevents a person from doing the work they performed before the injury, then it is reasonable to also pursue loss of earning capacity related to the injury. Some cases may involve seeking damages for pain and suffering.
