You wake up and begin your day just like any other day. But this day is different. When you least expect it, catastrophe strikes. A car crashes into you. A dog bites you. Or perhaps, your doctor makes an extraordinary mistake. An accident can occur in any number of ways. And sometimes, it results in a personal injury. It’s particularly disheartening when the accident is not even your fault.
If this sounds familiar, it’s helpful to have someone on your side who knows the ins-and-outs of personal injury law.
Personal injury is a legal term for an injury to your body, mind, or emotional well-being. A personal injury case is a legal dispute occurring when one person is the victim of an accident or suffers an injury, possibly due to the actions of another person. The victim who files a complaint (the “Plaintiff”) usually seeks to recover medical expenses, loss of income, and mental anguish in the form of a financial settlement or judgment.
You can file a personal injury claim immediately after suffering an injury. Initiating the process promptly may be helpful since evidence can vanish or go away over time.
The first step is to hire a skilled personal injury attorney in Rockford who will become an invaluable asset to your case. The attorneys at Brassfield, Krueger & Ramlow, Ltd. have experience protecting evidence and preserving an accurate account of the accident.
Next, it’s important to establish who is the proper defendant in your case. Perhaps the defendant is another car driver. It could be the owner of a dog that bites you or even a hospital if their professionals are careless or negligent. Insurance companies are often named as co-defendants in personal injury cases.
Many cases are resolved before ever entering a courtroom. This is particularly true when you are dealing with an insurance company.
Your attorney will work tirelessly to prove the defendant driver caused the accident and that your injuries are a result of that accident. When the insurance company recognizes you have a strong case, they will typically offer you a settlement rather than risk a loss in court.
The insurance company does not have your best interest at heart. Their primary concern is to save as much money as possible. That’s why you need a lawyer in your corner to fight for your rights.
Your attorney knows how insurance adjusters value specific injuries and what they will pay in compensation. They’ll use this information, along with other details of your case, to calculate a fair settlement amount, and they’ll negotiate on your behalf to reach an equitable deal.
Dealing with a personal injury is both frustrating and worrisome. It’s particularly unnerving when the careless or negligent actions of another party are the cause of the injury. That’s why it’s so important to have an advocate in your corner at this vulnerable time.
