When you're dealing with a personal injury claim, it's important to know your options for managing the costs of your case. Understanding how advertising damages work can help you get the best possible outcome from your case.
Advertising damages are the costs you incur when the media reports on your case or when you have to go to court to defend yourself against a claim for damage to reputation or character. Advertising damages may include:
Legal fees - These include court costs and associated fees such as filing fees and medical expert witness fees. You will also pay legal fees if you are successful in defending against a claim for defamation.
Costs of preparation - These include photocopying expenses, printing expenses, postage charges and travel expenses while attending court proceedings or meeting with experts.
Expert witness fees - If you hire an expert witness to give evidence at trial, their fees can be charged against the amount awarded by the court.
