Your personal injury claim may involve life-changing injuries that give your family thousands of dollars in past and future medical bills, lost wages, travel expenses, and legal fees. In general, the more severe your injuries, the more your civil case will be worth. You might be eligible for significant compensation for injuries such as broken bones, severe burns, organ damage, disabilities, disfigurement, scarring, amputations, or wrongful death. Any type of injury, however, could make you eligible for some compensation.
