Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers

Thousands of accidents and injuries occur every day in the United States. Some of them are not serious, and there are no injuries or serious property damage, but that is not always the case. When a person suffers injuries that are caused by the careless or negligent actions of another party, the injured person may be eligible to receive compensation for their losses. Determining who is liable for injuries in an accident and what damages should be awarded takes experience. If you or a loved one have been hurt by the actions of someone else, the Ottawa personal injury lawyers at Brassfield & Krueger, LTD are available to review your case.

Seeking Justice for Vehicle Accidents in Ottawa, IL

Drivers are required to keep their vehicles under control at all times. Some accidents may be attributed to poor road conditions, diminished visibility, or inclement weather, but the ultimate responsibility remains with the driver. Regardless of conditions, drivers must drive defensively. When conditions are poor, drivers need to be even more cautious and drive more slowly. Driving too fast for the current conditions, even if the driver is not above the posted speed limit, may still amount to negligence.

Negligent actions are those in which the person knew or should have known that their behavior is dangerous and could cause serious injuries. All drivers need to realize that their vehicles are inherently hazardous, and drivers must take steps to avoid collisions whenever possible.

Wrongful Death Lawsuits

When a person dies because of the negligence of another, this can be considered a wrongful death. In situations such as this, the relatives of the victim may be eligible to seek compensation from the responsible party through a wrongful death suit. Our skilled Ottawa personal injury lawyers can help family members gather evidence and determine if a lawsuit is appropriate after the accidental death of a loved one.

Compensation for Personal Injuries

While no amount of money can undo your injuries or bring back a loved one who has passed, the compensation available from a successful injury lawsuit can help you recover and begin to move forward with your life. Knowing that your expenses will be covered, for example, can go a long way in reducing your stress after an accident, allowing you to focus on healing. Damages that may be available in a personal injury lawsuit include compensation for:

  • Economic losses, such as medical expenses and lost wages
  • Non-economic losses, like pain and suffering caused by the injuries, or loss of consortium in the case of a wrongful death
  • Punitive damages, which are meant to punish the negligent party. Damages of this nature are only awarded in cases where the responsible party acted with extreme or intentional negligence.
