What Compensation Can I Recover For My Injuries in Litchfield, IL?

The value of your injuries depends on the severity of your injuries, whether you are partially at fault for your injuries and the abilities of your Litchfield, IL injury attorney. Typically, the type of compensation you receive will fall into one of two types of damages: economic losses and noneconomic losses.

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate you for the losses you sustained that you can put a dollar amount on. An experienced injury attorney will secure full compensation for:

• Lost wages
• Lost or reduced earning potential
• Medical expenses, such as
• Emergency room visits
• Surgeries and doctors appointments
• Physical therapy
• Medications
• Joint replacements
• In-home care
• Assistive devices, such as crutches or vehicle modifications

Noneconomic Loss

Noneconomic damages are intended 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:

The more severe your injuries, the more your noneconomic damages will be. If you loved playing piano and now you can't sit up straight at the bench, you need to be compensated for that. Your Litchfield, IL injury attorney at Halvorsen Klote will help an insurance company, judge or jury understand how your injuries have affected you and get you the full financial recovery you are entitled to.
