Waukegan Personal Injury Lawyer

Serious physical injuries can happen at any time. While some injuries are due to unavoidable factors like severe weather, many others occur as the result of somebody else’s negligence.

Holding the other party accountable for their actions can be difficult without help from a legal professional. Instead of attempting to settle your case on your own, get experienced guidance from a Waukegan personal injury lawyer. We speak both English and Spanish, so please call us and learn how you can get compensated and protect your family’s financial future.

Types of Personal Injury Lawsuits

Many different situations can lead to a personal injury lawsuit, but what makes a case successful is proof that negligence was involved. Negligence is a careless, reckless, or intentional act that results in another person’s injuries. A Waukegan personal injury attorney could make the case for compensation based on liability.

Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of injury lawsuits. They can involve collisions with passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, or even pedestrians. Due to the tremendous impact that comes from a crash, the resulting injuries are often catastrophic. Some of the other case types that we can take include medical malpractice, slip and falls, premises liability, dog bites, defective products, nursing home abuse, and workers’ compensation claims.

Anyone who is hurt because of another person’s negligence can seek compensation for their injuries. Family members can also file a wrongful death suit for the death of their loved one.

What is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

Most people who have been injured due to another person’s negligence wonder what their settlement might be worth. A personal injury attorney in Waukegan can offer insight into the types of damages that may be available. These include the following damages.

Medical Costs

For most people, the primary concern after an injury is the cost of their medical care. These expenses can be significant, particularly when a person requires ongoing treatment. If a plaintiff can prevail in their case, they could recover the cost of treatments like physical therapy, surgeries, hospitalization, and emergency room visits.

Lost Wages

An injury can lead to many secondary consequences, including the inability to earn a living. If an injured person misses time from work due to their injury, it could have an immediate impact on their ability to support themselves financially. The good news is that it may be possible to recover both past and future lost wages from the at-fault party.

Property Damage

Personal injury cases are primarily about the physical injuries a person has suffered, but they may also be entitled to damages based on their property losses as well. This might include the cost of repairing their car or replacing damaged electronics. In either scenario, a settlement could cover the cost.

Pain and Suffering

The mental and physical pain experienced in a personal injury accident may not be measurable with a medical bill, but it can provide grounds for a personal injury settlement. There are ways to show a jury how an injury victim’s life has been harmed by this experience, whether they can no longer be comfortable in a car or play with their children due to chronic pain.
