Rockford Accidents: Trusted Personal Injury Attorneys

What is a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

If you or a loved one were injured in an accident that was caused by the negligence of another party (or parties), then you may be eligible for a personal injury lawsuit.

Personal injury suits typically contain these 4 elements:

1. The negligent party who was responsible for the injuries owed a duty of care to the injured party
2. The negligent party breached that duty of care
3. The breach of duty is what caused the injured party’s or victim’s injuries
4. The victim was damaged because of the negligent party’s breach of duty

Recovering Damages for Your Injuries

If you were injured in an accident caused by another person’s negligence you might be wondering what you can do to get compensation.  Plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits can be awarded payment from the defendant for injuries suffered as a result of negligence or a wrongful act. Common types of accidents that result in personal injury cases include car accidents, workplace accidents, product liability, wrongful death, and more.

Damage awards are often meant to cover the cost of:

• Economic Damages: After an accident, you will likely have extensive medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and more. Filing a personal injury claim can help you cover past and future expenses related to the accident. This means that you can get the money you need to cover any surgery costs or future treatments.
• Non-Economic Damages: Non-economic damages impact your life, but they don't directly impact your wallet. You can still receive monetary compensation for:
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability
  • Loss of companionship with a loved one
• Punitive Damages: The court may also award punitive damages during a personal injury case if they believe that the party at fault should be penalized for their wrongdoing.

Any of these may be awarded as damages for costs already incurred or expected in the future as a result of the injury. The plaintiff’s attorney fees, as well as punitive damages meant to punish a defendant, can also be awarded.
