Nestled on the picturesque prairie where the Eel River gracefully meanders, Rio Dell embodies the “Warm-Hearted City.” This charming town finds itself intersected by the famous Redwood Highway, which is a vital artery linking Rio Dell with the vibrant city of Eureka to the north and the serene locales of Myers Flat and Garberville to the south.

An experienced Rio Dell personal injury lawyer has access to sources to prove a case of negligence that isn’t available to the injured person. In addition to checking the police report for errors and talking to witnesses, the lawyer has access to professionals in accident reconstruction and expert witnesses.

Depending on the case, the injury attorney may view video footage if the injury is due to a motor vehicle accident and interview nearby businesses to see if they have additional information.

Between an attorney’s knowledge of the law and techniques that can be used, a skilled Rio Dell car accident lawyer can build a strong case for recovering personal injury damages.

Personal injury compensation includes both economic and non-economic damages. The following can be recovered in a claim:

• Current and future medical expenses are recoverable. This includes ambulance service, private nursing, home health care, and medications.
• Out-of-pocket costs like doctor visits, adjustments made to a home to accommodate a disabled person, wheelchairs, and other devices are recoverable.
• Lost wages, including bonuses and tips, are recoverable.
• Lost earning capacity is allowed if the individual cannot return to their former job or work.
• Occupational therapy or training to reenter the job market in a different capacity is recoverable.
• Property damage that is not recovered through insurance can be paid through a personal injury claim.
• Pain and suffering from the injury can be recovered if expected to continue.
• Loss of a limb or other body part, scarring, and disfigurement are recoverable.
• Reimbursement can be included for activities the individual enjoyed before and can no longer perform, such as playing golf, cooking, or gardening.
• Emotional and psychological damage, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, is often part of a lawsuit.
• Harm to a marital relationship is recoverable.
• Wrongful death damages are paid to the members of the family in the household who suffered the loss of a loved one. This includes any member, such as a stepchild, who received at least half of their support from the decedent.
