What type of monetary recovery can I expect to receive?

A person who files a personal injury lawsuit could receive compensation for a variety of injuries that are collectively referred to as “damages”. The recovery can include compensation for past medical bills, future medical bills that you are fairly certain to incur, past lost wages, future loss of earning capacity, and past and future amounts for the pain, mental suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. Factors that could affect your recovery are the permanency of the injury, whether or not you receive an impairment rating, past medical history, treatment history, and the amount of insurance coverage available. All of these factors play an important role in determining the value of your case.
