Understanding More About Car Accidents
Even a minor car accident can cause an injury that leaves people with high medical bills and other expenses. Distracted, driving, speeding, DUI and other aggressive and reckless driving can all lead to an accident resulting in whiplash, broken bones and other kinds of long-lasting head, back and neck pain. Whiplash in particular can cause a lot of trouble like pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and even loss of range of motion.

A car accident attorney can help advocate for them and secure the proper compensation. A lawyer can help make sure you gather the correct documentation, keep track of your medical records and build a strong case for you.

How Are Car Accident Settlements Calculated?
In Illinois and across the nation, the amount you can receive in an injury settlement money for a car accident will vary depending on the circumstances of your case, and the amount in bills and expenses you accumulate as a result of the accident. But in Illinois, you can receive both economic and noneconomic compensation after an accident.
Economic damages cover things like medical bills, lost wages if you have to take time away from work and property damage expenses like car repairs. Noneconomic damages, sometimes called “pain and suffering” can be awarded to compensate for things like loss of enjoyment of life, long-lasting trauma and other intangible damages. Economic damages are determined based on the dollar value of the expenses you face as a result of your accident whereas noneconomic damages are roughly calculated based on the injury’s impact on your quality of life considering things like intensity and duration of your injury. A car accident attorney can help give you a better idea of what to expect when filing a claim. They can give you an estimate of what your compensation could be from a car accident claim.
