What Damages Can I Recover For an Injury Claim in Collinsville, IL?

The amount you receive in compensation often depends on the seriousness of your injuries and how they affect your life, whether you are partially at fault for your injuries and the skill of your Collinsville, IL injury attorney. Generally speaking, you are eligible for two kinds of damages: economic losses and noneconomic losses.

Economic Loss

Economic damages reimburse you for the bills and expenses your injuries cause. An experienced injury attorney will help you receive full compensation for:

• Lost wages

• Surgeries and doctors appointments
• Physical rehabilitation
• Medications
• Joint replacements
• In-home care

Noneconomic Damages

Noneconomic damages seek to reimburse you for the emotional and physical burden your injuries have placed on you. Missouri and Illinois each define noneconomic damages a little differently, according to Missouri Senate Bill 239 and 735 ILCS 5/2-1115.2:

The more severe your injuries, the more your noneconomic damages will be.
