When you or a member of your family sustains injury caused by another individual or entity such as a company or even the government you would expect that they would step up and offer direct compensation or that their insurers would. Unfortunately this is not the way the world works and as a result you are often left with no alternative but to hire Chicago personal injury lawyers and sue for compensation.
It is rare for anyone to actually accept responsibility when their negligence resulted in an injury to another person; this is most certainly true with insurance companies. Insurance companies exist for one reason; to make money for themselves and they certainly can’t do this if they pay out on claims made against them, especially if the claim is for a significant amount. Insurance companies have lawyers on their payroll who know the law inside out and if you want to get compensation in accordance with the injury you suffered you are going to have to hire Chicago personal injury lawyers that are equally knowledgeable about the law and how to use it to their client’s advantage.
A skilled personal injury lawyer who is intimate with the law can build a case for the client and deal with insurance companies. If the insurance company shows reluctance to agree with what is seen as a fair and equitable settlement then the lawyer will not hesitate to take the case straight into court and plead it in front of a judge and jury. Sure; you can deal directly with the insurance company but this is not advisable, the insurance company will take great pains to avoid paying you anything more than what they think they can get away with, not a penny more.
What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Idaho?
Most Chicago personal injury lawyers will take a case on contingency; this simply means that you, as the client, will not have to pay anything out of your pocket. When your lawyer gets a suitable settlement the lawyer is paid an agreed upon percentage of the settlement. In the event the lawyer failed to win a settlement you have no obligations other than to pay for minor things such as filing fees, postage, photocopies, etc; but no legal fees.
Most personal injury attorneys know in advance what can be expected in the way of a settlement and their fee is a small price to pay when you consider that you are receiving the compensation you deserve.
If you have suffered an injury and the injury was caused by negligence on the part of another then you deserve to be compensated for your injuries and damage. You are invited to discuss your situation with the lawyers at Shea Law Group.
