Our Bellwood Personal Injury Practice Areas

The Kryder Law Group has amassed a lengthy track record of helping injured victims in the Bellwood area take on insurance companies and recover the compensation they deserve. No matter how your injury occurred, we want to hear from you and learn how we can help. Our personal injury practice areas in Bellwood include the following and more:

Car Accidents

Cook County is infamous for its traffic snarls. When traffic is congested, the number of auto accidents rise. Whether your accident was minor or severe, whether you escaped with no bodily harm or suffered severe injuries, a personal injury lawyer in Bellwood can investigate and hold the other driver accountable.

We have helped drivers recover damages for injuries suffered in rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, drunk driving accidents, distracted driving accidents, and much more. We will examine police reports, gather evidence from the scene, talk to witnesses, bring in experts to testify, and do everything necessary to build the most compelling claim possible on your behalf.

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving 18-wheelers are often highly destructive, leading to extensive property damage and major bodily injury. Our Bellwood personal injury attorneys can hold not only the driver but also the trucking company liable under Illinois’s vicarious liability laws. Since trucking companies usually have more money than their drivers do, going after them gives us a better chance of collecting a substantial settlement.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles are thrilling to ride, but when they are involved in accidents, the rider bears the brunt of the impact, often suffering major bodily injuries as a result. In our experience with motorcycle accidents, drivers are at least partly at fault, as motorists have a duty to look out for motorcycles while behind the wheel.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice and medical errors are the leading causes of death and severe injury in and around Bellwood. They can lead to major lawsuits that end up with big settlements being awarded to the injured party or parties. If you or your loved one were injured under the care of a doctor or medical professional, a personal injury lawyer serving the Bellwood area can help you pursue a medical negligence claim under 735 ILCS 5/2-622.

Slip and Fall

Under Illinois’s premises liability laws, we may be able to win substantial compensation from the owner or manager of the property where you or your loved one was injured in a slip and fall accident. If the owner or manager knew about a dangerous condition and failed to protect you from it, a Bellwood personal injury lawyer can hold them accountable and potentially win compensation.

Workers’ Compensation

Illinois law requires most private employers to participate in workers’ compensation. If you get hurt on the job, you can file a claim and recover benefits. In return, your employer is protected from a private lawsuit, meaning you cannot sue them for your injury. However, workers’ compensation does not always work as intended for the injured party, as employers have been known to deny valid claims. Our Bellwood injury attorneys can stop this process from happening and help you get the compensation you deserve.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

When we put our loved ones in nursing homes, we may not harbor any delusions about them living lives of luxury, but we expect them to be comfortable, safe, and well taken care of. Sadly, nursing home abuse and neglect are serious problems both in Bellwood, Illinois and all over the country.

If you suspect your elderly loved one has been a victim of abuse or neglect at their facility, it is better to voice your suspicions and be wrong than it is to remain silent while they continue to suffer. A Bellwood personal injury attorney can launch an investigation into the caregiver or the facility. If there is evidence of abuse, we can take them on and help you recover major compensation.

How Much is Your Personal Injury Claim Worth?

At The Kryder Law Group, our Bellwood injury lawyers fight for both economic and non-economic damages. We may be able to help you recover a settlement or award that includes compensation for the following and more:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering and inconvenience
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Filing Deadline for Civil Claims in Bellwood

The statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits in Illinois is typically two years, but it can sometimes vary when extenuating circumstances are involved. A personal injury lawyer in Bellwood can perform a free case evaluation and let you know of all deadlines that apply to your claim. If necessary, we can take legal action to keep the statute from expiring.
