Getting more money out of a personal injury claim often involves a combination of legal strategy, thorough documentation, and negotiation skills. Here are some steps you can take to potentially maximize your compensation:
1. **Gather Comprehensive Evidence**
- **Medical Records:** Ensure all your medical treatments and diagnoses are documented. Detailed records can help establish the extent of your injuries and the associated costs.
- **Receipts and Bills:** Keep all receipts for medical expenses, medications, and any other costs related to your injury.
- **Witness Statements:** Collect statements from witnesses who saw the accident or can provide relevant information.
- **Photographs:** Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage.
2. **Work with Medical Professionals**
- **Follow Treatment Plans:** Adhere to your prescribed treatment plan and attend all medical appointments. This not only aids your recovery but also demonstrates that you’re taking your injuries seriously.
- **Get a Detailed Diagnosis:** Ask your healthcare provider for a comprehensive report on your injuries and their long-term impact. This can be crucial in establishing the full extent of your suffering.

3. **Document All Impact on Your Life**
- **Keep a Journal:** Maintain a journal of how the injury affects your daily life, including physical pain, emotional distress, and how it impacts your ability to work and enjoy activities.
- **Record Lost Wages:** Document any time off work and calculate your lost earnings. Include future lost earning potential if your injury affects your long-term ability to work.
4. **Understand the Full Extent of Your Damages**
- **Economic Damages:** Include all past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and any other financial losses.
- **Non-Economic Damages:** Consider the impact on your quality of life, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- **Punitive Damages:** While less common, if the defendant’s actions were particularly egregious, you might be eligible for punitive damages.
