We Strive for Our Clients’ Complete Financial Recovery, Here Are Some Common Damages in Cases Like Yours

If you’re dealing with an injury in Brookfield, you should know what damages entitle you to compensation. Illinois law allows you to seek compensation for many types of damages, including:

Those With a Straightforward Financial Value (Economic Damages)

These are the easiest damages to calculate because they can be easily measured in monetary terms. Some common economic damages in personal injury cases include

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Loss of earning capacity
• Property damage

Whether it’s a car accident or a fall, there is a financial cost to any event or circumstance that causes injury.

Those With a Less-Than-Obvious Financial Value (Non-Economic Damages)

This is where personal injury law gets more complex, but also where the largest portion of a personal injury settlement can lie. Non-economic damages address how an injury affects you at a human level in ways that your financial losses do not show. Examples of non-economic damages are:

• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium

Our clients who pursue wrongful death cases suffer even more profound damages. From the cost of a funeral to the loss of a spouse’s companionship, we measure the full impact of a loss.

Let Dixon Law Office Lift the Entire Weight of Your Case Off Your Shoulders, Rest Up While We Fight

When you hire us, you’re not just getting a lawyer—you’re getting a team that knows how to build winning cases. Here’s our playbook:

Establishing a Sturdy Foundation 

Every strong case starts with facts. We roll up our sleeves and:

• Hunt down witnesses and record their statements while memories are still sharp
• Gather all relevant evidence
• Call in specialists—crash analysts, medical reviewers, financial calculators—when we need expert opinions
• Pull together all the paperwork that matters: incident reports, your work history, insurance files, hospital records
• Document everything visually because photos and videos often tell the story better than words

The more objective our facts, evidence, and documentation are, the stronger the foundation of your case will be.

Documenting Your Injuries and Care

Getting quality medical care is essential, but so is ensuring that care is properly documented for your claim. We will stay connected with your treatment team to ensure you receive proper care and that every aspect of that care becomes part of our case.

Leading Negotiations on Your Behalf

Insurance companies have one primary goal: protecting their profits. We have one job: protecting your interests. We will demand that insurers provide the settlement you deserve, and we will be ready for the next steps if they are unwilling to.

Being Prepared for Trial, Even If We Never Go There

When insurance companies don’t budge on a lowball settlement offer, we take them to trial. This step may require us to:

• Construct compelling legal arguments using Illinois injury law and favorable precedents
• Coach you and key witnesses on courtroom testimony
• Design presentations that help juries visualize your experience and losses
• Consult trial experts when cases involve complex strategies or high-stakes

Our approach is straightforward: We handle the legal details while you focus on healing and moving forward with your life.

When Your Case Might Need to Go to Court

Most personal injury cases settle without seeing the inside of a courtroom, but sometimes, filing a lawsuit becomes necessary. Understanding when and why this happens can help prepare for any course your case takes.
Some of the most common reasons why personal injury cases go to trial are:

Insurance Companies Playing Hardball

The most common reason cases go to trial is simple: the insurance company won’t offer the amount of money your case is worth. When their “final” offer doesn’t come close to covering your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering, a lawsuit may be your only option to get fair compensation.

Complex Liability Issues

Some cases involve multiple parties or disputed facts about what happened. For example, several vehicles might have been involved in a crash. When the question of fault is complicated, insurance companies often fight harder.
Our attorneys make liability crystal clear, and we will demand that all liable parties meet their financial obligations to you.

Serious Injuries with Long-Term Effects

Cases involving catastrophic injuries often end up in court because the financial stakes are so high. Insurance companies know they’re facing potentially massive payouts, so they’re more likely to fight these claims aggressively. The difference between their offer and the amount you deserve for long-term care can be hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
When there is a significant gulf between what liable parties are offering and the amount a claimant deserves, the odds of a trial are high.

The Statute of Limitations Applies Pressure

In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. As that deadline approaches, we may need to file suit to preserve your rights, even if we’re still negotiating. The filing doesn’t mean we’ve given up on settlement—it just means we’re protecting your legal options while talks continue.
We don’t take the decision to file a lawsuit lightly. It means additional time, expense, and uncertainty compared to a settlement. But we’re fully prepared to take that step if it’s the clearest way to get you the compensation you deserve.

Our Care for Clients Goes Beyond the Casework, We Are Invested in Your Recovery

Recovering from an injury requires more than rest. For many of our clients, healing means addressing the emotional and psychological trauma that comes with serious accidents, too.
Dixon Law Office understands that our clients need more than legal help, so we’re committed to connecting you with resources that support your complete recovery. These resources may include:

• Mental health services: Many accident victims deal with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges after their injuries. Professional counseling and other treatments may help you heal psychological and emotional wounds.
• Rehabilitation services: Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other rehabilitation services can help injury victims regain their well-being and independence. 
• Financial guidance: Serious injuries create financial stress. Financial counselors can help manage medical debt, access disability benefits, and plan for your future while your case moves forward.

If we can help you recover in any other way, we will.

Why Hiring Your Brookfield Personal Injury Attorney Cannot Wait

Time is critical after a personal injury accident. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget details and critical legal deadlines can pass without warning. Here’s why getting legal help quickly matters:

• Evidence doesn’t last forever. Skid marks fade, accident scenes get cleaned up, and security footage often gets deleted automatically. An attorney can immediately preserve this vital evidence before it’s gone.
• Insurance companies move quickly. They may contact you within hours, hoping for a quick statement or settlement before you realize how badly you’re hurt. Having an attorney handle these calls protects you from saying something that can hurt your case later.
• Medical records need to be right. Your lawyer can help ensure your treatment is properly documented from the start and that your medical records clearly connect your injuries to the at-fault party’s negligence.
• Most deadlines are non-negotiable. If you miss a filing deadline in Illinois, you can lose your right to claim fair compensation. An attorney from our team will make sure everything gets filed on time.

Make your case the priority. Hire the Dixon Law Office to fight for everything you deserve, and never settle for anything shy of that.
