WHAT YOU CAN BE COMPENSATED FOR

A personal injury can quickly lead to significant financial strain, especially if you cannot work or require long-term care and rehabilitation.

At FDT Law, we aim to help you recover the full value of your claim while making the legal process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Compensation is unique to the nature and impact of your injury. Here are some common examples:

Medical Expenses

Pain and Suffering

Care and Rehabilitation Costs
