When should you hire a personal injury lawyer?
If you or someone you know has been injured due to the negligence of another person or group of people, it’s worth contacting a personal injury lawyer to help you recoup your losses. Injury and disability aren’t the only factors at play — monetary damages such as medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and more all start to add up and take a financial toll. Being able to recover these expenses and then some can help bring peace of mind and stability into your life.
What does a personal injury lawyer do?
If you are injured — whether due to medical malpractice, auto accident, nursing home abuse, or a variety of other circumstances — a personal injury lawyer can help you to earn compensation from the offending party.Â
This not only covers medical expenses and lost income, but brings you a sense of closure so that you may start on the road to emotional recovery.
What kinds of compensation am I entitled to recover after I have been hurt?
There are three main types of compensation for personal injuries in Illinois:
- Economic damages: Medical bills (current and future, if the injury is permanent), loss of income, future loss of income if you are no longer able to work, damaged property, and other expenses. This also includes funeral expenses in the case of wrongful death.
- Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, decline in quality of life, and loss of companionship.
- Punitive damages: These are fines handed down by the court system to punish defendants for their reckless actions which resulted in an injury or loss of life.
What are my legal rights if I was injured in an accident or because of someone else’s actions?
Illinois personal injury laws give the plaintiff legal recourse to recoup any damages they may have suffered as a result of their injury. Generally, the plaintiff has two years (it can fluctuate depending on circumstances) to file a personal injury claim, at which point they have the right to pursue legal action.
