If you have been hurt and you know that someone other than yourself is at fault, you may very well have reason to claim for personal injury. Many people are under the impression that all they have to do is submit a claim to the negligent party’s insurance company and wait for them to pay. Think again; insurance companies are loath to pay claims, they are in the business to make money, not to pay it out. For this reason you should talk to Chicago personal injury attorneys and see how they can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Personal injury claims can be complex:
Personal injury claims can be complex at the best of times; it can get a lot worse if there are more than two parties involved, the type of situation you get when you are involved in a multi-call accident. Claims are complicated by such things as long-term incapacitation, perhaps even a degree of disability. A personal injury attorney is well versed in the law and is well positioned to help you get an equitable settlement. With the law being so complicated, if you try to pursue your claim unaided you probably will end up with far less compensation that you should have.
Personal injury attorneys can take over, they can do all the investigation and development of a claim while you focus on getting better and attending to the needs of your family.
Investigation:
To support your claim you will have to provide ample evidence to show that the other person involved in the accident was the cause and that his or her negligence resulted in your injuries. Chicago personal injury attorneys know from years of experience what evidence is needed, how to get it and how to use it to substantiate your claim.
Backed up with evidence, your attorneys will be able to negotiate a fair settlement, if the insurance company refuses to settle the claim, your attorney will take the party’s to court on your behalf and try the case in the presence of a judge and jury.
If you have been injured through no fault of your own you should speak to Chicago personal accident attorneys before you do anything else. You are invited to contact Shea Law Group for a free evaluation of your case. Follow us on twitter.
