Common Damages Recoverable in Personal Injury Cases

Compensation may be available to victims for various economic and non-economic damages, including:

Lost Income

If a person is injured and unable to work, they may recover damages for their lost wages. This can include income lost during their recovery and potential future earnings if the injury affects their long-term employment.

Medical Expenses

Personal injury compensation should cover all medical-related costs, including:

  • Emergency room visits
  • Hospitalization and surgeries
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy
  • Prescription medications
  • Long-term medical care and assistive devices

Loss of Enjoyment of Life & Pain and Suffering

When an injury limits a person's ability to participate in hobbies, social activities, or everyday life as they once did, they may be entitled to damages that will address their loss of enjoyment of life. Pain and suffering damages can compensate a victim for emotional distress, which may include anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Wheaton Personal Injury FAQs

Q

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?

Answer:

If you were injured due to the negligence of someone else—such as a reckless driver or a property owner who did not protect you from unsafe conditions—you may have a valid claim. Consulting with our attorneys can help you determine your legal options.

Q

What Settlement Can I Expect for My Personal Injury Case?

Answer:

The value is dependent on factors like lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and the future financial impact of your injuries. Our lawyers can assess your damages and negotiate for full and fair compensation.

Q

Do I Have to Go to Court for My Personal Injury Case?

Answer:

Most cases are settled through negotiations, but if a fair settlement cannot be reached, taking the case to trial may be necessary. Schwartz Injury Law prepares each case for litigation, and we are prepared to advocate for full compensation on your behalf.

Q

What Happens When I Was Partially at Fault for My Injury?

Answer:

Illinois' modified comparative negligence system ensures that victims can seek compensation as long as they are not 50% or more at fault. However, your percentage of fault will determine how much your compensation will be reduced.

Q

What if an Insurance Company Offers Me a Settlement?

Answer:

Insurance companies often offer low settlements to minimize payouts. Before accepting an offer, consult with our attorneys to determine whether the settlement will fairly compensate you for all of your damages.

Q

How Are Pain and Suffering Damages Calculated?

Answer:

Your total damages may be determined based on the severity of your injuries, the duration of your recovery, and the overall impact on your life. Our lawyers will calculate an appropriate amount that you should receive based on these factors, and we will advocate for the maximum compensation available.

Q

What If My Injury Worsens a Pre-Existing Condition?

Answer:

If an accident aggravated a pre-existing condition, you might be entitled to compensation. Medical records and expert testimony will be essential to prove the extent of the worsening condition and demonstrate that it was caused by your injury.
