What Is Injury Compensation?

Compensation for injury is money that is paid to help injured people pay for losses stemming from their accidents at work. These losses include medical expenses, lost wages, future income, and loss of enjoyment in life.

You can receive this money by two methods: either through a settlement or by filing a lawsuit. A lawyer can look over your case and explain the best option for you.

This includes medical bills from health providers and specialists. You may also be reimbursed for prescriptions and other over-the-counter medications while traveling to and from medical appointments.

You may also be eligible to recover expenses for home modifications, like stair lifts and ramps.
