Romeoville Personal Injury Attorney

Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer in Romeoville, IL

When a person is injured in an accident caused by another party's negligence, they can pursue legal action against that party to recover damages for the losses their injuries have caused them. Damages refer to the financial compensation awarded to the injured party for those losses. These damages are designed to help the injured party recover physically, emotionally, and financially from the effects of the incident.

Although not required by law, it is highly recommended that anyone who has been injured consult with a personal injury lawyer to ensure they receive a fair and just settlement for their losses. Attorney Khaled Issa has extensive experience helping injured clients recover compensation for their damages. He firmly believes that every client deserves his full attention, and you can be assured that he will thoroughly examine your case to determine what type of damages may be pursued in your case.

Attorney Issa can provide dedicated, effective representation in multiple types of personal injury cases, including:

• Motor vehicle accidents, including car crashes, commercial truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and injuries to pedestrians who are hit by vehicles.
• Premises liability cases, including slip and fall accidents and dog bites.
• Catastrophic injuries, including head and brain injuries, spine injuries, back and neck injuries, bone fractures, and joint injuries.
• Wrongful death cases in which a person is killed due to another party's actions or negligence.

The damages that an injury victim may be able to recover include:

Economic Damages

These damages include all tangible losses affecting an injury victim that have an actual dollar value to them. The injured party may be compensated for specific financial expenses and losses incurred due to the accident. Economic damages may include:

• Medical expenses: The costs of medical treatment, including hospital bills, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation therapy, doctor visits, and medical devices, should be fully covered. These expenses can accumulate rapidly, leading to increased financial strain and possibly affecting a person's ability to cover his or her essential needs.
• Loss of income: If injuries prevent a person from working while they recover, they may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. If an injury results in a permanent disability, and a victim is unable to perform the type of work they did prior to the accident, Attorney Issa will pursue compensation to address the loss of future income that would have been earned if not for an injury and disability.
• Other financial losses: Other out-of-pocket expenses that occurred as a result of the accident may also be considered, such as the costs of transportation to medical appointments, modifications to a person's home or vehicle to address a disability, and household services a person can no longer perform.

Non-Economic Damages

These damages include any intangible losses that do not have a precise monetary value. These damages provide compensation for the pain, suffering, and negative impact on a person's quality of life because of the accident. Attorney Issa may be able to pursue compensation for:

• Pain and suffering: The physical pain, discomfort, and emotional distress experienced by an injured person due to their injuries may be addressed through financial compensation. These damages may cover both the immediate pain and suffering endured at the time of the accident and any ongoing pain or chronic conditions resulting from the injuries.
• Emotional distress: In addition to physical pain, people injured in accidents often experience emotional trauma, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other psychological effects stemming from the accident and its aftermath. Compensation for emotional distress addresses these mental and emotional harms.
• Loss of enjoyment of life: Serious injuries can significantly impact a person's ability to participate in activities they once enjoyed, such as hobbies, recreational pursuits, and social interactions. If an injury victim has been left permanently disabled and is unable to participate in activities they once enjoyed, Attorney Issa may be able to obtain compensation for loss of enjoyment of life as a means to address their diminished quality of life.

Punitive Damages

These damages are awarded in cases where a person's conduct is considered to be egregious, reckless, or intentional. Unlike economic and non-economic damages, punitive damages are not intended to compensate the injured party for losses. Instead, they are meant to punish the defendant for his or her behavior and to send a strong message to society that these types of actions will not be tolerated.
