| Description: | If you or a loved one sustains an injury caused by the acts of another individual, company, or entity in Illinois, there are likely various types of compensation you may be awarded for your losses. When most people think of compensation in these cases, they think of financial damages such as payment for medical bills, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket expenses. Victims may also be entitled to compensation for their distress and suffering. In some cases, however, punitive injuries may also be awarded. In general, punitive damages are reserved for cases when the negligent party was grossly negligent or intentionally caused another person harm. |
