Every personal injury accident is unique, which means the value of your case will depend on several factors specific to your situation. While it’s impossible to predict the exact amount you could recover, Auger & Auger’s experienced attorneys know how to fight for every form of compensation you deserve, including:

Economic Damages:

Economic damages cover the tangible, monetary losses you’ve suffered due to the accident. These are often straightforward to calculate using receipts, bank statements, and other evidence. Examples include:

• Medical Expenses: From emergency care to ongoing treatments.
• Lost Wages: Income lost due to your inability to work.
• Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace your vehicle/property.
• Out-of-Pocket Costs: Expenses for travel, prescriptions, or other accident-related necessities.

Non-Economic Damages:

These damages compensate for losses that don’t have a direct monetary value but significantly impact your life. Proving these damages can be more challenging, as they often rely on expert testimony and detailed documentation. Examples include:

• Pain and Suffering
• Emotional Distress or Mental Anguish
• Loss of Enjoyment in Life
• Loss of Consortium

Punative Damages:

In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party for malicious or reckless behavior and to deter similar conduct in the future. These damages require a high burden of proof:

• North Carolina: You must prove malice or willful/wanton conduct. Punitive damages are capped at three times the total compensatory damages or $250,000, whichever is greater.
• South Carolina: Similar to North Carolina, but the cap is three times compensatory damages or $500,000, with exceptions for extreme cases.
