• Punitive damages if the injury was caused by extreme negligence or recklessness
• Wrongful death damages in cases where the negligence caused a person to lose their life

The total amount available in any personal injury case will vary depending on several factors, including the nature of the injury, the type of violation, and the lawyer’s experience in handling such cases. 

At Levin Simes, it is our job to prepare your case’s evidence, research the laws, and craft a trial strategy so you can receive the maximum amount of damages allowed under the law.
