An injury can range from minor discomfort to life-altering conditions requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Types of Compensation for a Personal Injury Victim
Victims in a personal injury case could be entitled to several types of economic and noneconomic damages.
These may cover any medical bills and expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish particularly egregious behavior and deter others from similar conduct.
What Is My Case Worth?
Determining the value of a personal injury claim by Champaign personal injury lawyers involves considering many factors including: the extent of the injuries, the medical expenses incurred and potential need for future medical care. Also, the amount of lost wages, impact on daily activities, pain and suffering, and more can impact the value of a case.
How Long Will It Take?
The time to settle a personal injury law case varies depending on factors like: the severity of injuries, complexity of legal issues, willingness of parties to settle, negotiation with the insurance company, and the backlog of the court system should the personal injury lawsuit have to go to court.
Each case is unique, so it is important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to explore the circumstances of your case.
