What Can a Personal Injury Lawsuit Cover?
The full ramifications of an injury are not always apparent at a glance. At Flaherty Law, LLC, we will work with you to better understand your situation, looking for any and all affected areas of your life after an injury. In general, a personal injury settlement can address two types of damages:
- Economic damages with a clear financial impact, representing tangible losses. These include hospital bills, lost wages, a loss of potential income resulting from an injury, the cost of rehabilitation, and other expenses.
- Non-economic damages that cannot be quantified, but still have a detrimental impact on your life. These can include mental anguish (often referred to as pain and suffering), loss of companionship, or a diminished involvement with one's community.
We will take the time to hear out your story so that we can be your best advocate, ensuring that all of your losses are spoken for in negotiations.
Worker's Compensation
An accident on the job can severely impact your ability to work, and securing compensation may be difficult if your employer denies any responsibility. Flaherty Law, LLC represents clients seeking worker's compensation, and we will fight for your right to a just result. Illinois law protects workers even if the employer is found not liable, as you can still receive compensation for medical expenses, vocational rehabilitation to resume your job, and different levels of disability benefits if applicable.
We can also help you pursue a settlement for long-term health complications that resulted from your work, such as a loss of hearing, lung disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more. We will go to great lengths to establish a link between your injury and the workplace conditions that may have caused it, no matter how much an employer or insurer will attempt to avoid blame.
