Personal Injury Compensation

While workers' comp benefits will pay for your medical bills and rehabilitation, a personal injury lawsuit allows you to bring additional monetary claims for damages, including:

• Pain and suffering
• Actual wage loss from the past and the present value of that loss over the course of your lifetime
• Lost pension rights, if you are unable to return to your former employment where pension contributions were made
• Your spouse can bring a claim for loss of society and companionship
