What factors are included in economic damage compensation?

It is difficult for many people to know how to value back injury compensation as they have never been thru the process before. Insurance adjusters are skilled in minimizing settlements and compensating as little as possible. It is important to know the factors that are included in economic damage compensation so you receive a fair settlement. 

Economic damage compensation is the present monetary amount that has been spent by you and possibly your auto insurance or health carrier for things such as:

• Medical Bills (including prescriptions)
• Lost Wages
• Replacement Services (paid by you for household chores or yard work you are now unable to do because of the injury)
• Mileage or Transportation Services

The total of these will amount to your economic damage. This is what will be either reimbursed directly to you (if it is out of pocket money) or reimbursed to your auto insurance or health carrier. Usually this amount is not in question nor negotiable. The only time when this amount is sometimes questioned is regarding the actual medial bills. Sometimes certain treatment is not accepted and can actually be denied for various reasons depending on the injury and the insurance company. 

Economic damages are not the only part included in how to value your back injury compensation. There are also non-economic damages, these do not have a monetary value already set and include things such as pain and suffering and predicted future expenses, lost wages and bills.
