Why You Need a Lawyer

When you have been injured and are seeking compensation for your injuries, you need someone with extensive legal experience on your side. The other party (often, the at-fault party’s insurance company) will surely have an attorney, and without strong legal representation for yourself, you are not very likely to receive compensation. If you do, it will likely not be as much as you deserve.

There are many legal details that can affect your case, and the common citizen likely does not know how specific Illinois laws could apply to you. For example, even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be owed some compensation under Illinois law regarding comparative negligence. A skilled attorney will consider all the legal details as they help you build a strong case to pursue fair compensation for your injuries.

Some people feel overwhelmed by the process of making a personal injury claim, but as you begin to work with an attorney, you will see that it is more manageable than you realized.

Dear J.B. , I wanted to thank you, for the job you did on my case. You were not only an excellent lawyer, you were a friend along the way as well. You always promptly called me, addressing my questions and concerns. As far as my settlement goes, I couldn’t have expected more then you got for me.

Thank you for getting me such a strong settlement, and being a friend as well, along the way. I’d be more then happy to talk to anyone who would like to know , what a fine attorney you are. Thank you for being there for me. Sincerely,

- J.F.

Thank you so much for your diligent, professional, and thorough handling of my car accident settlement. You were beyond helpful, accommodating, and supportive during the process. You patiently explained, in detail, the procedures that would take place during the course of the claim. You continually updated me as progress was made and gave me in-depth details. Being that I was a novice to this type of practice, you advised me as to what was realistic, yet fair, as far as when, how, and monetarily the claim would be settled. When an offer was made, you advised me accordingly, and counter-offered for what you believed to be a reasonable and objective settlement. Beyond that, you also worked determinedly to reduce my medical claims and had great success. An attorney friend of mine went as far to say that you “hit a home run” when you negotiated my settlement. I want you to know how much your guidance and attentiveness to my claim meant to me. I will definitely recommend you and your firm should any of my acquaintances need legal advice in the future.
