Damages You May Recover after a Personal Injury Accident in Lansing, IL
Every case is different, and we cannot estimate the exact damages that you may be able to recover as a result of your personal injury before investigating your accident. However, some of the common types of damages that victims have recovered in cases similar to yours include:
Medical costs, such as ambulance transportation, emergency room care, surgical procedures, doctors’ examinations, physical therapy, and medication
Lost wages
Future wages, if you have lost your earning potential
Pain and suffering

Funeral and burial expenses

How the Statute of Limitations May Impact Your Lansing Personal Injury Claim
The statute of limitations imposes a limit on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit for a personal injury. Illinois law states that the plaintiff must pursue legal action within two years from the time of the accident, otherwise they are generally barred from recovering compensation for their injuries. If you fail to file in time, you will be unable to recover any of the compensation you deserve for your personal injury.
