Have you been injured in an accident?

How Much Compensation Can I Expect in My Personal Injury Case?

The amount of compensation you receive case will vary based on a number of factors, including the severity of your injuries, expenses like hospital or medical bills, and the type of personal injury case it is. The court will account for all your losses and will factor them in when determining your settlement.

You may receive compensation for:

  • Medical bills

  • Mental health care

  • Property damage

  • Lost wages

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional or mental trauma

  • Lowered quality of life

  • Reduced ability to earn income

For more severe injuries, like spinal cord injuries or those injuries that may have you facing a permanent disability, you may no longer be able to work, so that must also be accounted for.
