Seneca Car Accident Lawyer
Seneca Car Accident Lawyer
Your first reaction to a car accident is likely confusion and shock. This is followed by concern over how you will be able to manage the process of being out of work for a period of time and paying your medical expenses. The general rule of thumb is: The more severe your injuries are, the more important it is to have an attorney manage your claim. You will only get one chance to negotiate a settlement, so you want to be sure you got the full value of your claim. This is especially true when there is so much riding on the outcome.
The attorneys at Brassfield & Krueger have successfully negotiated settlements for our clients that recovered the full value of their damages, and we can help you, too.
Determining Fault in an Accident
The question of fault or negligence will dominate any personal injury claim. This includes car accidents. In Illinois, you can only sue the other driver if your fault is less than theirs. In other words, the other driver must be 51% at fault or more. But this does not mean you are out of luck. You can make a claim against your own policy if you carry personal injury protection (PIP).
If the other driver is at fault, you need to prove they are at fault. This requires not only the police report (which is not always correct) but tracking down witnesses and using physical evidence from the scene to make your point. In some cases, this is relatively straightforward, but the insurance company has a fiduciary duty to protect their policyholder and a good amount of self-interest to boot. This means exploiting ambiguities in the record to argue in favor of their client or using a lack of information against you.
Your Seneca Car Accident Lawyer’s Role
As your attorneys, it is our job to shore up any gaps in the record, talk to witnesses, and conduct an investigation of our own. In some cases, this will mean actually forming a rebuttal to the police report while in other cases it will mean shoring up gaps in the report. You can help your case by taking pictures at the scene if you are able.
Your attorneys will also consider your damages. Insurance companies are unlikely to offer much more than your medical expenses and a bit more for your inconvenience. But you are also entitled to collect for lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment. Our job is to make sure that you are compensated for everything to which you are entitled.
