Minooka Personal Injury Lawyer

Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer Seeking Justice in Minooka, IL

Every day, accidents happen—in Illinois and across the nation. In some cases, no one is really at fault for an accident, but in other cases, the accident may be directly tied to another person's negligence. That negligence can result in injury to a person's body and their emotional well-being while affecting their ability to work.

Automobile crashes involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, and bicycles are a significant cause of negligence-related injuries and death, triggering personal injury and wrongful death claims. If you or a loved one has been injured because of another person's wrongdoing or negligence, you can file a personal injury claim to recover damages. While money will not change the fact that you have serious injuries, may be unable to return to work, and may not be able to engage in day-to-day tasks, it can help with the financial issues caused by your accident.

It is important to have a skilled Minooka personal injury attorney advocating on your behalf. Insurance companies often try to settle with an injured person quickly, but they may offer a low amount that does not begin to cover the total damages. Accepting such an offer could leave you unable to pay for all your damages—and there are no second chances once you accept an offer. The experienced lawyers at McNamara Phelan McSteen, LLC are ready to handle the legal aspects of your claim, giving you the time you need to heal.

What Are the Most Common Damages Stemming From a Personal Injury?

Damages for a personal injury claim will depend on the facts and circumstances surrounding the accident. Generally speaking, there are two types of damages available. Economic damages are those that are easily quantifiable. Included in this category are all medical expenses related to the accident, both current and in the future. The cost of an ambulance, physician expenses, hospital charges, surgeries, prescription drug costs, and expenses for rehabilitative therapies are all included in the medical expense category. If your injuries are severe enough to require assistive devices or home conversions, these are also considered medical expenses.

Lost wages are another type of economic damages that may be available. You are entitled to recover lost wages for the time you cannot work. The other types of damages are non-economic or pain and suffering damages. These damages can be more difficult to calculate, because to some degree, they are very personal and unique. Your experienced Minooka personal injury lawyer will work hard to ensure you get a full and fair settlement that covers all your damages.
