Additionally, following your doctor's treatment plan and attending all recommended appointments is essential.

If there is surveillance footage of thе accident or incident, request copies or preservation of thе video as soon as possible.  

Additionally, keep all written communication, еmails, and text messages related to the accident,  as they may serve as important відень.

Your attornеy will work to countеr thеsе argumеnts and build a strong casе to еstablish thе othеr party's liability. 

6. Calculatе Your Damagеs

To maximizе your compеnsation, you must accuratеly calculatе your damagеs. Damagеs in a pеrsonal injury claim can includе:

Medical Expenses: This еncompassеs all mеdical bills, including hospital stays, surgеriеs,  doctor visits, mеdications,  nd thеrapy. 

Lost Wagеs: Calculatе thе incomе you lost duе to missеd workdays or a diminishеd еarning capacity rеsulting from thе injury.

Propеrty Damagе: Includе costs related to repairing or replacing damaged propеrty. 

Work closely with your attorney to ensure all potential damages are considered, including futurе medical expenses or ongoing treatment needs. 

7. Negotiate Effectively

Nеgotiation skills play a significant rolе in maximizing your compеnsation. Your attornеy will handlе nеgotiations with thе insurancе company on your bеhalf, aiming to sеcurе a fair settlement.  

Be patient during the negotiation process, as it may take time to reach an agreement. It's essential to know your bottom line and be prepared to walk away from an inadеquatе offеr. 

Your attorney will provide guidance on whеthеr a settlement offer is reasonable or if it's worth pursuing a lawsuit. 

8. Prеparе for Litigation

Whilе many pеrsonal injury claims arе rеsolvеd through nеgotiation, some cases may require litigation.  

Your attornеy will prеparе your casе for trial, which includеs gathеring additional еvidеncе,  dеposing witnеssеs, and prеsеnting your casе in court. 

Being prepared for litigation can еxреrt additional pressure on thе opposing party and insurancе companiеs, potentially leading to a morе favorable settlement offеr. 

Conclusion

Maximizing compеnsation in a pеrsonal injury claim rеquirеs carеful planning, documеntation,  and legal representation.  

By seeking immediate medical attention, documеnting еvеrything, consulting with an еxpеriеncеd attorney, prеsеrving еvidеncе, dеtеrmining liability, calculating your damagеs,  negotiating effectively, and being prepared for litigation, you can enhance your chances of a successful outcome.  

Rеmеmbеr that every case is unique, and working closеly with a skillеd attornеy is essential to navigate thе complexities of thе legal process and sеcurе thе compensation you rеsеrvе.

Does Caleb not have a scar on his actual eye ball?

Idk how eyeball injuries work. Do irises/sclera/cornea scar?

He probably just shouldn't have the eye at all, but I was operating on "rule of cool" while I was making design decisions for Caleb, heh

It's a world of witches folks, if his eye injury makes no sense, let's just blame magic ;)

Chapter 16 - The Incident Pt. 3 |La Squadra x Reader Angst|

Warning: strong language, injury. MA.

Pescis POV

"A girl is in the bathroom crying, she has dried vomit on her shirt and two broken fingers," Pesci heard a blonde female nurse tell that to a brunette nurse, standing by the women's restroom. "She says she's fine, but she doesn't look well at all. We need to try and get her out of the bathroom and get her looked at."

"I think she's a domestic assault victim," the brunette muttered, and that caused Pesci to stop walking. "A man had to have done that to her fingers."

Pesci walked up to the nurses, "Hello," he said nervously, "my little sister called me and said she was at the hospital. She said she got hurt by her ex. Can I see if this is my little sister in here?" He questioned, having a weird feeling.

The nurses nodded and stepped aside. He was walking around the hospital looking for you, Ghiaccio calling and saying that you went missing. From what the ladies described, he hoped that it wasn't you in that bathroom. He pushed open the bathroom door slowly, stepping in to see you sitting on the bathroom ground.

"Y/N?" He questioned softly. "Oh my god, what happened to you?" He stepped in, voice shaky. "I.. I'm going to speak with her, and then I'm going to check her in. Thank you two for checking on her."

He closed the bathroom door, and eyes widened as he walked over to you. His eyes immediately scanned your hands, noticing two broken fingers on your left hand, the two fingers awkwardly bent back, a purplish color. You had dried vomit on the front of your shirt, your entire body pale.

"I'm so.. clumsy," you muttered, voice void of any kind of emotion, eyes glossy but blank. "I can't believe I accidentally slammed the bathroom door on my two fingers. I just.. I didn't even realize it." You were lying. He could immediately tell that you were lying. A door would not have done that to your two fingers.

He walked over to you slowly, "Did someone hurt you? Did someone do this to you?" He leaned down, hands gently wrapping around your waist as he lifted you to your feet slowly. "You need to tell me so that I can tell Risotto. It isn't right for you to be hurt."

"I'm.. just so fucking clumsy," you whispered, tears filling your eyes. "Always destroying things. I just can't help myself but to.. run into things."

He instincts to protect you, kicked in fiercely, his arm wrapping around your waist, the other hand grabbing your left wrist carefully. "It's okay, you aren't clumsy Y/N. You're a good person, okay?" He told you, pushing the door open with his foot, leading you out of the bathroom. "You'll feel better once you get your fingers fixed. Let's get you checked in, okay? Get yoy some medicine maybe."

"I want to go away," you muttered as he slowly led you down the hallway. He was so scared that he would hurt you. He didn't want to cause any harm to you. "I want to go far."

As he turned left down the hall, he almost ran into Prosciutto, his grip on you tightening so that you wouldn't get scared or fall. As soon as you saw Prosciutto, your body stiffened, taking one step back as your eyes quickly dropped to the floor. Pesci wondered, was Prosciutto capable of doing something like this to you? Did he hurt you and force you to lie about it?

"Why are your fingers broken?" Prosciutto questioned, grabbing your wrist as he looked around the hospital, his eyes landing on that blonde nurse he saw earlier. "Hey, girl, check my girlfriend into one of your rooms and fix her now. She's badly hurt."

The blonde nurse looked Prosciutto up and down, her bright blue eyes judging him harshly. "Yeah, I bet she is badly hurt. I know your kind," the nurse spat at him, shaking her head. "Mafia scum. Just like my uncle, they always beat on their wives!"

"Excuse me?" Prosciutto questioned, shock filling his tone. "I do not beat on her, never once have I beat on her! I am a good goddamn boyfriend!"

"That's what they all say," the nurse snapped, taking your right hand. "You scum, you abusive bastard! Don't think I remember you from 10 years ago? I remember the girl you always brought up here that was your wife. Beat her to death? I don't see her anymore."

"Prosciutto doesn't beat me," you said quickly, snatching your hand away from her. "He's not scum. He's just.. okay." You walked past the nurse, walking into the open room. As the nurse entered and closed the door, he heard you scream, "Are you crazy!? Don't disrespect my fucking boyfriend like that! You can't talk about him like that!"

Prosciutto looked at the door, a small smile appearing on his face before it vanished. "I'm going to have a smoke," he muttered, shaking his head before walking away.

Pesci stayed by your door, guarding it. He had a strong feeling that someone hurt you. His suspicion was off of Prosciutto. He had a feeling that either Formaggio or Illuso attacked you; he was leaning more towards Illuso. Formaggio didn't seem like the type to break your fingers. He seemed to actually like you. He was going to find out, that's for damn sure.

He didn't know you very well, despite you being around for 3 months, he still lacked any relationship with you. Despite that, he knew that you were extremely tough and hard to scare. When he walked into that bathroom, he saw fear and sadness in your eyes. You were supposed to be their girlfriend, not a punching bag. The men should all be thankful for you.

You cooked, cleaned, and you had sex with the men. Going even deeper with that, he noticed that you would also clean the men up after a rough day at work. Even once, you cleaned up Pesci's face after he got hurt on the job. You were a great girl, and your issues could be ignored. Why? Because you had seven men to deal with while they only had one of you.

He had to step up and be a man. He had to step up and start protecting you. Despite him being extremely inexperienced with all of this, he still had to step up. You were a beautiful person, and he wanted to help you. Seeing you so hurt, so completely broken.. it was making him hurt, too.

-----

All seven men stood outside of your hospital room, Pesci and Melone standing the closest to the door. Formaggio and Illuso stood the farthest away, Prosciutto and Risotto in the center. Ghiaccio stood next to Melone.

"Let me get this straight," Risotto began, "she said that she smashed her hand in the bathroom door? On accident?" He questioned, crossing his arms over his chest as he stared at Pesci.

Pesci nodded his head, "That's what she told me."

"She isn't that clumsy," Melone replied, "but she is under a lot of stress. I need to see her." He had a cast on his right arm, his arm not being broken but sprained. "I need to apologize to her."

Formaggio stepped forward slighly, the side of his face sporting a large bruise. "She'll be fine. She just needs some rest."

"Fuck you," Melone snapped. "How dare you slap her the way you did. Of course she's mad. She's forced to stay loyal and follow rules while we all get to do whatever the fuck we want. Of course she's going to be upset. What did you expect, you fucking prick?"

Formaggio raised his hands up. "Relax, man, we don't need to be mad at each other. I was just giving her a little discipline. It's good to discipline women."

"She'll never like you. After everything you've done.. she will hate you," Melone said, his voice harsh and filled with venom. He suddenly looked over at Illuso, then at Formaggio. "Did you fucking hurt her? Did you fucking break her fingers? Was it one of you?" He stepped forward, causing Ghiaccio to grab him, pulling him back.

"We didn't even know she was fucking here until we ran into Ghiaccio," Formaggio said, his voice calm, holding no emotion. "Why would I break her fingers? Why would Illuso? She's just clumsy and you're paranoid. We don't want to hurt her."

Pesci looked over at Illuso, staring at him. He knew something was up, and he had a feeling that Illuso did it. Or he at least had a part in it. Sadly, he or Melone couldn't do anything if you were saying you smashed your fingers in the door.

The door opened, you stepping out, a small doctor following behind you. "Seven men, who am I talking to?" The doctor said.

"All of us," Risotto spoke.

"I put a cast on her two fingers and wrote her two prescriptions that can be picked up tomorrow. Aside from the broken fingers, she also has a mild concussion, explaining her throwing up and headache," the doctor spoke. "I have her on a few pain killers now, I was forced to give her more than prescribed."

"Why?" Prosciutto snapped at the doctor. "How she force you? Aren't you a fucking doctor?"

"She said that if I didn't give her an extra dosage, her boyfriend would beat me up," the doctor replied. "And I saw all seven of you.. distinguished gentlemen out here and got intimidated."

Prosciutto sighed, his eyes landing on you. "Thank you for taking care of her." He stepped forward and took the written prescription from the doctor, nodding his head. "We really appreciate it. If you ever need a favor, ask for Prosciutto."

You turned towards Melone, stepping closely towards him as you began to whisper in his ear, Pesci not being able to make out what you were saying. You stepped closer, your head moving towards Ghiaccio as you continued to whisper.

"You are feeding us lies," Ghiaccio snapped. "I saw the x-rays Y/N, you tell the truth now! It is not good to lie to us!"

"You have no explanation for the concussion you have?" Melone questioned, his voice low.

The doctor nodded his head, "Thank you." He rushed off, white lab coat swaying as he disappeared down the hall, making a sharp left.

"The door was stuck, I twisted and pulled, trying to get my fingers out. I can show you again on my other hand as proof if you want," you said a little louder, causing Formaggio to step towards you. You visibly stiffened, ignoring his gaze. "Stop questioning me. I told you everything. I probably fell or something."

"Are you okay?" Formaggio questioned, his eyes on your cast.

You turned away, "Yes."

Pesci felt like this was his one chance to make an attempt to defend you. To help you. To do something. "Want to stay at my apartment tonight?" He questioned, the other six men all suddenly looking at him. He didn't care.

"I do," you replied. He reached his hand out towards you, you grabbing it.

"Really?" Formaggio questioned, visible shock spreading across his face.

You shrugged, "Bye." You walked off, Pesci following behind you. He heard footsteps following, and then they quickly stopped.

"Let her go Melone, she'll be safe with Pesci," Risotto said, tone filled with authority. "She needs some time to rest."
