A Mount Prospect car accident lawyer could help you go after the at-fault driver for compensation if you got hurt in a collision in Mount Prospect, Illinois, or the surrounding area. When we handle your personal injury claim, you get to devote your time and energy to getting better.
The real question is whether you can afford not to work with an attorney on your Mount Prospect car accident injury claim. There are no upfront legal fees on these cases, and we can help you avoid problems that could reduce the amount of compensation you can pursue.
At The Kryder Law Group, LLC, we handle car accident injury claims on a contingency-fee basis. With this type of fee arrangement, we wait until the end of the case to get paid. Our payment will come out of the settlement proceeds or judgment.
You do not have to be rich to get our help on your personal injury case. If we take your case, we will not get paid until you win.
There is no flat amount of compensation you can pursue for your car accident injury claim because every case is different. The amount of money you can go after will depend on the facts of your situation.
Car accidents can involve economic losses, like medical bills and lost wages. These claims can also include non-economic losses, like disfigurement and pain and suffering. The amount of your losses is a factor in how much compensation you might be able to recover.
Here are some kinds of money damages we have won for our clients in car accident cases:
If your loved one passed away from injuries received in a car accident, we might be able to pursue additional compensation for the legal beneficiaries in a wrongful death claim.
No, you do not have to work with a personal injury lawyer on your car accident case. You can handle your injury claim on your own. There are, however, quite a few good reasons to hire an attorney to work on your case.
A car accident lawyer in Mount Prospect can investigate the accident and work directly with the at-fault party’s liability insurance company to settle your injury claim. We can file a lawsuit when appropriate if the case does not settle. Also, we can help you avoid pitfalls that could destroy your right to compensation.
One of the most extreme pitfalls is missing the statute of limitations for your case. Illinois only gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit (735 ILCS 5/13-202) or a wrongful death lawsuit (740 ILCS 180/2). These deadlines are “statutes of limitations.”
If you miss the deadline, you can forever lose the right to hold the negligent party accountable for the harm you or your loved one suffered. Negotiating with a claims adjuster or the insurance company does not extend the deadline. When you work with a Mount Prospect car accident lawyer, you can avoid making procedural errors that could cost you everything.
Whoever committed the careless act that caused the accident can be liable for your losses. When we take on a personal injury case, we investigate the situation to ascertain all of the potential defendants. Sometimes, there are multiple possible defendants whose actions combined to cause the collision.
For each defendant, we will have to prove liability. We accomplish that goal by establishing that the party was negligent, that the careless actions caused the accident, and that you had losses as a result.
