Spinal cord injuries bring with them substantial medical bills, and many victims receive significant awards. You cannot, however, predict the extent of your award based on what other parties have received for spinal cord injuries in the past.
A Chicago spinal cord injury attorney can provide you with an idea of how much compensation you should expect based on:
Liability
The extent of the insurance policy that covers the liable party
The extent of your medical bills
How much time you had to miss at work
The severity of your injuries
Your attorney cannot, however, offer guarantees about the compensation you will ultimately receive, whether the insurance company offers a settlement or you go to court to fight for the damages.
