A personal injury lawsuit is a civil action brought by an injured person against another person or company. These cases often involve severe injury, permanent disability or disfigurement, and death. Victims of personal injury cases seek financial damages to cover medical expenses, replace lost income, and compensate for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses.
The attorneys that we have classified as handling personal injury cases almost always work on a contingency basis which means that they get a percentage of what they recover for their clients. As a result, they do not handle cases where there is no injury. In other words, if you are in a car accident and you are looking for a lawyer because there is damage to your car, a personal injury lawyer in Illinois is not right for you. On the other hand, if you were in an auto collision and broke your leg when another driver ran a red light, the personal injury attorneys on our site would likely help you.
In order for there to be a valid personal injury claim a victim must prove (1) the other party has a legal responsibility for the victim’s injury and (2) the damages claimed reflect the injury or loss.
Most personal injury cases involve car accidents, truck accidents, molestation, slip and fall, dog bites, premises liability or other situations where someone was negligent resulting in an injury.
Remember that there is no such thing as the best lawyer in Illinois, but rather you should look for the best lawyer for you. In other words, the right attorney for someone who is rear-ended by a commercial truck and has $500,000.00 in medical bills is not necessarily the right lawyer for someone who was rear-ended by an 18 year old and has $20,000.00 in medical bills. If you can not find a lawyer in your town that you are happy with, search in a neighboring city or county. When an injury is significant, Illinois personal injury lawyers will usually travel to represent a client.
