A personal injury lawyer can help you seek various types of compensation if you have been injured due to someone else's negligence or wrongdoing. The main types of compensation that can be sought with the help of a personal injury lawyer include:

1.  

   Medical expenses: If you have been injured in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for any medical expenses incurred as a result of your injuries. This can include hospital bills, doctor's fees, prescription medication costs, rehabilitation expenses, and any other medical treatment related to your injuries.



2.  

   Lost wages: If your injuries have caused you to miss work or become unable to work altogether, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This can include compensation for both past and future lost earnings, as well as any loss of earning capacity resulting from your injuries.



3.  

   Pain and suffering: In addition to economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages, you may also be entitled to non-economic damages for pain and suffering caused by your injuries. This type of compensation is intended to compensate you for the physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish resulting from the accident.



4.  

   Property damage: If your property was damaged in the accident (e.g., car damage in a car accident), a personal injury lawyer can help you seek compensation for repairs or replacement costs.



5.  

   Punitive damages: In cases where the defendant's conduct was particularly egregious or reckless, punitive damages may be awarded in addition to compensatory damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.

By seeking legal representation, you can increase your chances of obtaining the maximum amount of compensation available based on the specific circumstances of your case.
