What Compensation Can I Recover For an Injury Claim in Versailles, MO?

How much receive in compensation often depends on the severity of your injuries, whether you are partially at fault for your injuries and the abilities of your Versailles, MO injury attorney. Generally speaking, the type of compensation you receive will fall into one of two types of damages: economic losses and noneconomic losses.

Economic damages reimburse you for the financial toll your injuries have caused you. A skilled injury attorney will help you receive full compensation for:

• Lost wages
