Quality of Life

What is Quality of Life?

Quality of Life refers to an the overall well-being and life satisfaction of an individual. It is not limited to physical well-being. For legal purposes, a person’s quality of life following an accident or injury is often compared to what it was like before that accident or injury.

Quality of life is measured based on various factors. There are both subjective measures such as satisfaction and happiness, and objective measures such as health and economic status.

Some common factors in a quality of life evaluation include the following:

  • Activities of daily living
  • Mobility and organization
  • Social relationships and interaction ability
  • Overall life satisfaction
  • Participation in recreational or work-related activities
  • Future prospects

Quality of life as a whole is an important factor in many legal cases. For example, victims of negligence may receive greater compensation if they can show how an injury or accident harmed their quality of life. Enduring pain or disability impact not only a person’s health, but also how they interact with the world and their ability to enjoy life. Beyond physical health, emotional distress and general unhappiness can also benefit their claims if proven to be caused by an injury or accident. Assessing quality of life gives a better understanding of the impacts on victims that are not always visible, and can allow for fairer damages being restored.

Car Accident Lawyers Helping Victims of Speeding-Related Crashes

car accident lawyerSpeeding causes thousands of deadly crashes every year. Excessive speed increases the likelihood that a driver will lose control of their vehicle and cause a crash. What’s more, collisions that occur at a high rate of speed result in more injuries and are more likely to be fatal.

If you were injured in a car accident with a driver who was speeding or driving aggressively, that driver should be held responsible for the harm they’ve caused. However, you will still need to prove that the other driver was at fault for the crash and the economic and noneconomic damages you have suffered. Even if your case seems straightforward, insurance companies are unlikely to provide maximum compensation unless you have legal representation. That’s where a car accident lawyer at Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys can make a big difference.  […]
