The primary type of damage is known as compensatory damage, which is further divided into economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages are quantifiable and include things such as hospital bills or lost income; non-economic damages are subjective and include things such as pain and suffering or loss in quality of life.

Most personal injury attorneys will only be paid upon the successful completion of your case. They typically receive a percentage of the total amount received, though that percentage is variable from firm to firm and case to case.

It is not legally required to have an attorney, but in almost every case you are better off with a legal expert handling your case.

If you have suffered an injury on the job, it is advisable to speak with a personal injury attorney who specialized in workers’ compensation. It is your right to seek compensation to cover your medical bills and other expenses resultant from a work-related injury. The attorney will describe the process in detail and advise you on how best to proceed.
