Personal injury compensation is calculated based on economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover tangible costs such as medical expenses, lost wages, and medical treatment. Non-economic damages compensate for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
The calculation of a reasonable settlement offer involves adding up economic losses, like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. Established formulas are often used to arrive at a figure that reflects the true impact of the accident on your life.
Past loss of earnings is typically calculated by obtaining wage slips pre-dating (often for a period of at least three months or 13 weeks) and post-dating the accident, calculating the average net monthly wage prior to the accident and deducting the net monthly wage following the accident to provide a net loss.
You are in compliance with the law if you have liability insurance in the following minimum amounts: $25,000 for injury or death of one person in a crash. $50,000 for injury or death of more than one person in a crash. $20,000 for damage to property of another person.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a type of car insurance that covers your medical treatment if you are involved in a car accident, regardless of who caused the accident. In no-fault states, PIP coverage is mandatory. However, Illinois is not a no-fault state, meaning PIP coverage is optional.
