how much are my damages?

What state you are in matters.  Some states have limits on damages, some may have guidelines.  Some may have options others dont.\n\nGenerally, however, provided you prove negligence:  You can be compensated for all your medical expenses, any actual losses, including time lost from work and any other expenses reasonably related to your condition (i.e. a nurse, housekeeper, transportation, etc).  \n\nYou can also receive damages for your future lost wages and expenses.  These will be adjusted down if paid in a lump sum to account for interest you will be earning, then adjusted back up for inflation.  These are harder to estimate and prove.  You should have an attorney figure this out.\n\nYou may also be entitled to pain and suffering and quality of life damages.  This is really hard to prove, and can be a completely random amount, although the court will likely adjust it to a reasonable amount, if necessary.\n\nYour recovery will be adjusted (depending on your state) by any amount that your negligence is found to have contributed to the accident.  Generally, the percentage of responsibility on you is the percent less of the damages you will receive.\n\nAlso, while any assistance your insurance (if any) may have given, your insurance company will want to be reimbursed for what they paid.\n\nIf you prove recklessness, or that they hit you while breaking the law, you may be entitled to punitive damages, which can be as high as 9x your actual damages.\n\nDid I mention you should hire an attorney?

Did you receive a copy of the walkthrough paperwork?  If so, the landlord should have noted soot damage.  If s/he did not then you have a good case.  Either way you should take the landlord to small claims court and argue your case.  They are going to have a hard time proving how much the damage should cost if they don't have pictures of it.\n\nEDIT \nThe burden of proof is really on the landlord.  He will have to prove that there was damage there, that it was caused by you and your roommate, and how much it cost to repair the damage.  For that he will have to bring in paperwork.  Also, any landlord without pictures of the damage isn't a good landlord.  It smells like a scam and the judge will see that.  You may not have known to have pictures but he should because he is the professional.  Your roommate will have to go to court with you.  He will be a witness to confirm your statements.  It really could go either way but I believe that the burden of proof is on the landlord.

Seriously.  None.  In the end he will be told to give you one half of what ever he got.  I have seen this happen many times.  I work for an attorney.  If your not close to trial then not much is going to happen.  Even then you will just have to get compensated.

Depends on the how much damage was done and the jurisdiction.

In reviewing small claim courts for Illinois at http://www.19thcircuitcourt.state.il.us/self-help/s_claims/index.htm I would suggest using it.  You can make claims upto $10,000 in your state.

I would just ask my financial institution, but to make a rough estimate, I would say a little less than $35.00 total

Add up the total of the damages, subtract $45 for what they've already paid you, and then subtract your court fees. Is it really worth fighting for the remainder amount?\n\nIn your paperwork that you signed for them to begin moving and after they completed the work, there should be a paragraph on the mover's limited liabilities. You agreed to those terms when you signed the paperwork.\n\nShould you sue them? I don't think so.\n\nYou might be better served if you reported them to the BBB at http://www.bbb.org

Go to the Court where the case was heard ask to see the County Clerk To The Judge Assigned and request treble (triple) damages as a penalty.  Do it immediately as you have the right to your money and the court is bound to uphold ALL COURT Proceedings.  You do not need your lawyer to do this.

Yes they can it is called criminal damage to property, and it depend what the total cost of the damage is to make it a misdemeanor or a felony. I think more than $300.00 or $500.00 constitutes a felony depending on where you live!!!!

Assuming that the injuries were all caused by the accident and liability is firmly established in your favor -- then you're potentially looking at a million dollar plus verdict.\n\nHowever, there are so many factors that can affect this.  I won't go into them here because it takes at least one hour of attorney time to properly get all the information from you and then advise you of your rights.\n\nFind yourself a personal injury attorney.  Do it now.  You can find one at www.martindale.com for a listing of qualified attorneys in your area.

How much were your belonging worth? Do you have any proof, e.g., receipts, etc.? Not any attorney, but doubt you could sue for more than actual damages and court costs. Have you contacted the owner or insurance company.

depends on the injury, your attorney, and the jury--they will decide the amount.  If it is too outrageous, the judge can decrease it.

If you work for a carrier and start with small collision claims, probably $18k-$20k.

it depends on which state you live in and what the charges are
