What Compensation Is Available For My Injuries in Lebanon, MO?

How much receive in compensation often depends on the seriousness of your injuries and how they affect your life, whether you are partially at fault for the accident and the skill of your Lebanon, MO injury attorney. Generally speaking, the type of compensation you receive will fall into one of two kinds of damages: economic losses and noneconomic losses.

Economic Damages

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

  • Lost wages
  • Lost or reduced earning capacity
  • Medical bills, such as
    • Emergency room visits
    • Surgeries and doctors appointments
    • Physical rehabilitation
    • Medications
    • Joint replacements
    • In-home care
    • Assistive devices, such as wheelchairs or home improvements

Noneconomic Loss

Noneconomic damages seek to compensate you for the less tangible ways your injuries have affected you. Missouri and Illinois each have their own definitions of noneconomic damages, under Missouri Senate Bill 239 and 735 ILCS 5/2-1115.2:

In Missouri, "without limitation":

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Inconvenience
  • Physical impairment
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of capacity to enjoy life
  • Loss of consortium

In Illinois, "including but not limited to":

  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of society

The more severe your injuries, the more your noneconomic damages will be. If you loved playing pickup basketball every weekend and now can no longer run at full speed, you you deserve justice and recognition.
