Injuries almost always happen when we least expect them. When your injuries are the result of someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to compensation for the damages you suffer as a result. Illinois allows individuals that have been injured by another person’s negligence to recover damages for medical treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of a normal life.
Determining whether you have a valid personal injury claim against someone else is based upon the facts of each individual case. If a valid personal injury claim exists, calculating the appropriate value of your case is dependent upon a number of factors.
Civil litigation is a term that applies to any legal dispute between two or more parties, in which the parties are seeking monetary damages or performance of certain actions, which does not include criminal accusations. If you find yourself in such a dispute, a lawyer can assist you with identifying your rights in your situation.
