What Damages May You Recover?
A TBI may lead to substantial medical costs, as well as serious complications with your memory and cognition, as well as speech and motor issues. In many cases, a TBI can lead to permanent disability and lifelong care costs.
Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to seek recovery for financial losses and intangible hardships, including:
- Medical expenses: Costs for emergency care, treatment, medication and rehabilitation
- Lost income: Wages lost during recovery and reduced future earning ability
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain and emotional challenges caused by the injury
- Long-term care: Ongoing treatment, therapy, equipment or assistance with daily activities
- Reduced quality of life: Changes that limit independence, activities and enjoyment of life
- Other issues: Emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life and other problems caused by the injury
A catastrophic injury like a TBI can be serious and may result in long-term or permanent disabilities. An experienced attorney can help you understand your legal options and build a claim that accounts for both your current and future needs.
Under Illinois law, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the injury or from when the injury was discovered. However, claims against local government entities or public employees (such as the City of Chicago or CTA) carry a strict one-year filing deadline under the Local Governmental Tort Immunity Act. Seeking legal counsel can help you understand your situation and the options available to you.
