You Could be Entitled to Compensation for Your Expenses and Losses
Personal injury damages award victims for the actual costs associated with their injury, as well as for how their injury negatively impacts their life. In general, compensation falls into two categories:
Economic damages – These damages relate to your concrete bills and expenses. They include your medical bills, future medical treatment, property damages, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity.
Non-economic damages – These damages compensate you for reductions to your quality of life. They include awards for physical, mental, and emotional complications, including depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, loss of mobility, and chronic pain.
We Can Help You Pursue Awards on Behalf of a Deceased Loved One
If your loved one passed away from a personal injury, you could seek compensation for financial losses associated with their death. According to 740 ILCS 180/1, a representative of the deceased’s estate can seek awards on behalf of the deceased’s surviving spouse or next of kin.
Wrongful death compensation may include economic damages related to your loved one’s final medical care, loss of income, and funeral and burial expenses. You may also seek non-economic damages related to your pain and suffering over the loss of your family member.

The extent of your pain and suffering
Your past and future medical bills
Your age
Your wages at the time of your injury
