For injuries incurred during an auto accident you may need to have an attorney resolve other legal issues related to the accident in order to receive a larger settlement. Insurance companies typically limit what they pay due to policy limits. Because of this, it’s advised that you don’t go through this process alone.

Illinois applies the “at fault” rule when evaluating auto accident claims. As such, those seeking an equitable settlement after an accident must prove that the other party was at fault in order to recover fair compensation for damages. This is seldom easy. Now is not the time for missed deadlines, or accepting settlements for less than your case is worth. These can have serious implications for you and your loved ones.

*The first thing you should always do if you are involved in an Auto accident is go to the nearest Hospital Emergency Room to get seen by a physician for any injuries. If you don’t have your injuries assessed immediately, the insurance company can argue that you were not injured or that your injury occurred prior to your accident.
