Determining Personal Injury Compensation
If you have been injured in an accident, one of the first questions you may have is, “How much is my case worth?” While every injury claim and resulting compensation is different, understanding the types of compensation available and the factors that come into play can help you get a clearer picture of what to expect.
At D&W Law Group, our personal injury lawyers are committed to helping clients through every stage of their claims. We know the importance of these claims and how to fight for the maximum compensation that reflects the fair and full compensation our clients deserve.
Types Of Compensation In Personal Injury Cases
The compensation you receive for your injuries is based on the total costs and consequences of your accident. Our role as your legal representation is to ensure your claim properly accounts for these costs, including:
- Medical expenses, such as hospital treatment, medication, surgeries, rehabilitation and treatment
- Lost wages, including the income missed from not working due to injury or disability from an accident, and even loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering, compensation for the trauma you experienced from your accident
- Loss of bodily function, often from scarring, nerve damage, and even loss of limb
We are often successful in our work because of our diligence in building these cases. We take the time to gather all the information surrounding these claims before developing a plan that works for you.
Factors That Influence The Value Of Your Case
Several factors come into play when calculating the value of a personal injury case, and these factors can significantly influence the amount of compensation you may be entitled to receive. One of the largest factors in a personal injury claim is the extent of your injuries. Extreme injuries often result in higher costs and suffering, and you need legal representation to ensure the compensation you receive recognizes these outcomes.
Illinois law uses comparative negligence to resolve injury claims, which is the process of determining what percentage of fault each party has in an accident. As long as you are less than 50% at fault, you can file a compensation claim, but the more fault you have, the less money you will receive. When we fight for you, we work toward an outcome that gives you the resources you need to move forward after an accident.
