There is no one direct answer to this question. Due to the fact that every case has unique circumstances, it really depends on what happened, how it happened and what evidence was collected. However, as a general guide, you may be able to recover the following: compensation for pain and suffering, loss of past and future income, future medical costs (due to the incident), housekeeping expenses, caregiver expenses, and even funeral costs. Note that this list is not conclusive, as there may be specific aspects to your case which allow you to sue for other things.
