What type of compensation might I be owed?

If you’re hurt due to someone else’s actions or inaction, you could be owed compensation and could recover that through a personal injury claim. This civil action allows injured individuals to recover damages from the party responsible, which will vary depending on the severity of your injuries and the specific circumstances of your case. People who are hurt in an accident caused by negligence could be owed compensation for:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Lost wages from time off of work
• Loss of future earnings if you are disabled due to the accident
• Repair or replacement of damaged property
• Pain and suffering
