You might also be unaware of your rights and how best to go about protecting those rights. Annutto Law Office can guide you through an accident situation and ensure everything is handled correctly and legally.

Seek Medical Attention

The very first thing you should do after an accident is secure immediate medical help. Anyone injured, regardless of fault, needs to be attended to as soon as possible. Any vehicles involved should stay where they are, unless a vehicle is posing a hazard to others. In that case, everyone and every vehicle should move to a safe location.

Once immediate medical and safety needs are taken care of, you should get as much information as possible. This means gathering the names and numbers of anyone involved and any witnesses. You can take license plate and insurance information also. If possible at the time, you can take pictures of the scene and the damage.

Exchange of Information

After the initial exchange of information, you should take additional pictures of any injuries and evidence that may support your version of the accident, including torn clothes or anything else that may be remotely relevant. It is also recommended that you write down what happened and include any details fresh in your mind. While you think you will remember everything, details can become cloudy after just a few hours, especially if you have been injured or are in shock. The sooner you jot down facts, the more accurate your recollection of the accident will be.

Once you have been treated medically and have taken the immediate steps after an accident, you need to keep careful track of medical bills, appointments, doctor’s notes, missed work time, or anything else related to the accident. This includes anything from the insurance company involved.

If you have been injured, you may be entitled to damages that fall under pain and suffering. Annutto Law Office can evaluate your case and determine if pain and suffering damages may be warranted in your case.

Types of Pain & Suffering

Pain and suffering laws in NH can encompass a wide range of damages that are not related to economic damages. Economic damages pertain to medical bills, lost wages, and other monetary damages suffered. Because pain and suffering can’t be measured with a set formula or predetermined number, it can be difficult to decipher and each case can vary greatly. Some of the factors a judge may consider when determining the status of pain and suffering damages may include the severity of the injuries, the duration of the pain and suffering experienced, the details of any physical and psychological trauma.

Some issues or troubles that may warrant a pain and suffering settlement can include:

• Pain and discomfort
• Fear and anxieties
• Sleeping troubles
• Mental anguish
• Depression
• Nightmares
• Anger
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Experienced Injury Attorney

When pursuing pain and suffering, it is imperative that you document your troubles. This may be through documentation of therapy and records of doctor visits for certain problems. Professional help may ease some of the problems, but that can grow costly and there may be long-term problems that therapy or a doctor can’t help. The long-term consequences of some of these issues may affect every aspect of your life and your family’s life.

If you have been in a car accident and suffered injuries, you may be dealing with mounting medical bills. You may also have to miss work to recover or have suffered a disabling injury that prevents you from working again. Lost wages can take a massive toll on your life and your ability to support your family. If this is the case, Annutto Law Office can help you recover those lost wages.

How to Recover Lost Wages in NH

Lost wages laws in NH can get complicated after an accident. In order to claim and recover lost wages, there are certain steps to take and certain documents to get. A doctor will have to provide documentation about your specific injury, treatment, and medication. This should include specific reasons the injury prevents you from working. It should also include a specific timeline for how long you can’t perform work duties. If the injury is a permanent disability, that should be clearly outlined. It is important to have specific dates and keep all documentation from any health care professional involved.

Documentation Needed

Having the medical documentation needed is one thing. You also need to have specific documentation about your wages. Proof of your wages or salary along with proof of time lost is vital. This can be fairly simple if you are an hourly employee. However, proving wages for commissioned employees or self-employed people may require past tax documents to calculate lost wages. Lost wages also include more than just earnings over a certain time period. Lost wages also encompass lost bonuses, any potential raises lost due to time away, and lost promotional opportunities. Future commissions can also be calculated. With permanent disability, lost earnings now and in the future can be calculated over a lifetime. Because of the potential complications with long-term or unusual wages, experts may need to weigh in and put together accurate numbers.

This might be the most common question posed to a personal injury attorney. If you have been injured in an accident, you may suffer all types of losses. You deserve to have those losses compensated and you deserve to be able to move forward after this difficult ordeal. Annutto Law Office can evaluate your case and determine an estimate of what your case may be worth.

Determining Worth

When determining worth of a personal injury case, there may be certain obvious monetary damages to calculate. The cost of medical bills for immediate treatment of injuries is certainly a factor in a settlement amount. On-going medical care is also part of a fair and just settlement. This may include physical therapy, more surgeries, or any kind of follow-up care such as rehabilitative services. Other factors include the severity of the injuries. If the injuries cause significant scarring that can alter your self-confidence or affect your psychological well-being, there may be a greater settlement. If the injuries have impacted your enjoyment of life and ability to live up to family and community responsibilities, that might factor into the amount. If you are young and sustain lifelong injuries, your case may be worth more. Loss of consortium may also make a case worth more, also. Any future medical cost and the affect an injury has on your career goals or income in general will all be weighed. Other factors will include the extent and value of any damages to property, such as your car or other lost property.
