In New York, every driver must have Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, which covers the initial medical expenses of a victim following an accident.

To prove the loss of income, a request should be made for documents from the plaintiff's employer. This could include letters that verify the time spent away from work, as well as their hourly rate or salary. Other documentation could include pay stubs and copies of the injured party's tax return for the previous year.

It is important that the demand form be submitted as soon as possible following a car accident. The person who was injured will be able to receive the most benefit from their claim. The evidence of the accident is more convincing when it is immediately provided.

These are referred to as non-economic damages. They may include the cost of suffering and pain, loss of enjoyment of life and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and many other.

The lawyer you hire can use one of two methods to determine the amount of pain and suffering damages. The most popular is the multiplier method, in which your economic damages are tallied up--including your medical expenses or loss of income from work because of your injury, and property damage--and multiplied by a number that ranges between 1.5 to 5. The higher the number, Vimeo more serious your injuries are thought to be.

Another method of assessing the extent of suffering and pain is to use the basis of per diem. Your lawyer can request that the jury award a dollar amount per day you suffer. This can be particularly helpful for those who suffer injuries outside the home or who struggle to take care of children while they heal from their injuries.
