Personal injury lawyers handle a variety of case types, ranging from car accident injuries to medical device and defective product claims. A personal injury attorney will carry out a variety of vital tasks to help support your case, including:

• Gathering evidence (medical documentation, witness testimony, recreating the scene of the accident, etc.)
• Building the most airtight strategy possible
• Bringing experts onboard to testify
• Negotiating with insurance companies
• Handling the procedural aspects of filing a personal injury claim
• Representing you at trial if negotiations are unsuccessful

Our personal injury attorneys in Chicago are prepared to work tirelessly on your behalf to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

If you have suffered an injury and you believe someone else was at fault (even partially), then you need to consult with a personal injury attorney. They will help you determine whether you have a case to pursue, and from that point on, you will want to have legal counsel to represent you.

If you’re considering taking a settlement, you might be tempted to go through negotiations without a lawyer. However, this could turn out to be a major misstep, especially when powerful entities such as hospitals and corporations are involved. This is because they have extensive resources and world-class legal teams, so it’s easier for them to take advantage of an individual with little-to-no legal knowledge and cheat you out of the amount of compensation you actually deserve.

Don’t put yourself in this position— let us help you fight for what’s owed to you. Our attorneys can negotiate on your behalf, protect you from bad faith insurance practices, and advocate for your best interests, so you don’t have to go up against the opposition alone.

As with any other type of case, the cost of a personal injury attorney varies significantly on a per-case basis. This is because several unique factors can impact overall legal costs:

• The fee structure of your attorney
• The length of time it takes to resolve your case
• Where your legal team is located
• Your personal injury lawyer’s level of experience

If you believe you may have a personal injury case, it’s essential to contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

After an accident, you should make sure that you:

1. Make a note of any important information or details surrounding the incident
2. Take pictures of the scene, damage to property, and injuries
3. Exchange information with other parties involved
4. Speak with one of our personal injury lawyers (as soon as you’ve received any necessary medical care, of course)
5. If you do see a doctor to tend to your injury, make sure everything is documented and you hold onto this information.

One of the most important things to keep in mind if you’ve been involved in an incident of any kind that’s resulted in injury, is that you should never admit guilt (including making an apology to others involved). You should also wait for your lawyer’s counsel to provide a statement to the insurance company.

The length of time it takes to pursue a personal injury case can vary significantly depending on:

1. The circumstances of the case
2. Whether compensation is agreed upon through negotiation or you have to go to trial
3. Degree of cooperation from insurance companies
4. How long you wait to hire a personal injury attorney

Due to the nature of the cases, especially those involving severe injuries or death, they typically last at least several months or even years.

Damages include money awarded in a personal injury lawsuit that is meant to “compensate” a victim for their injuries and other losses related to their accident. There are several types of damages that may be awarded in a personal injury case, including compensation for:

1. Medical bills
2. Pain and suffering
3. Lost wages
4. Property damage

The amount of damages you personal injury victims are awarded typically depends on the severity of the injury, the extent of liability of the other party, and the nature of the incident. That said, you can rest assured that we will pursue maximum compensation on your behalf to help you establish security following your accident.
