What damages could I recover for my Los Angeles aviation accident lawsuit?

• Lost income: this is income that you missed out on while you had to take time off from work. This is usually the case with injured victims who may have to attend medical appointments, such as physical therapy appointments, during the day and are not able to go to work. Lost income is looked at both ways, through past lost income and future lost income. Past lost income refers to the number of hours that you missed out on from work. Future lost income looks into the future and the effect that your injuries may have on your current work position. For example, severe injuries may prevent the victim from going back to work and resuming their work responsibilities normally.
• Medical bills: medical bills is the term used to refer to a variety of medical costs, including emergency room care, surgeries, medication, physical therapy, at-home care, medical equipment, etc. Medical bills are also categorized into past medical bills, which are medical bills that you accumulated from your injuries and future medical bills. Future medical bills take a look at what the victim suffered, and any future medical care they may need, such as at-home future care.
• Pain and suffering: this type of compensation looks into the emotional toll that the injuries have caused. Pain and suffering are hard to calculate since there are no bills or invoices. Instead, the court tries to measure the amount of suffering the victim had. The more serious the injuries, the more likely you are to recover more in compensation for pain and suffering.
