Timing, Not Just Injury: How Illinois Sets the
When a Bar’s Service Becomes Part of Your
The Clock That Runs Faster Than You Think
Personal injury law involves injuries people suffer caused by the negligent or intentional conduct of others. An injured person can seek compensation for damages they experience including medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, loss of normal life, disfigurement and emotional distress which you incur or will incur, as the result of someone else’s negligence.
Until all of the relevant facts are evaluated, it is extremely difficult to determine what a case may be worth. Every case involves unique factors that help determine value. The value of the case is determined by assessing the liability of the parties, the nature of the damages suffered, the amount of the medical bills incurred and wages lost and whether the damages such as pain and suffering are permanent. The value of the case often depends on how the accident is affecting your quality of life and whether it will continue to in the future. Attorneys can often estimate case value based on their experience with similar cases and other factors.
If you have been seriously injured as the result of another’s negligence, you should immediately consult an experienced personal injury attorney to determine whether you may be entitled to compensation. The attorney can evaluate your claim and advise whether the case has merit. That attorney can also assist you in the handling of the claim and work to obtain the compensation you deserve.
Almost all personal injury attorneys work on cases without requiring a retainer and collect their attorney fee as a percentage of any settlement or verdict they obtain for you. If you get nothing from the case, neither does the attorney. Attorney’s fees are contingent on success and are usually 33% of the amount recovered. However, under some circumstances a slightly lower attorney fee may be charged. Any costs incurred in pursuing the claim will generally be advanced by the attorney and paid for at the conclusion of the case.
A contingent fee is when a lawyer receives a percentage of a settlement or verdict as payment for his or her services. Under this arrangement the attorney will only get paid if they are successful in recovering compensation for your injury.
Contingency fees require no out of pocket costs for you, making this difficult time in your life a little easier.
As soon after your accident as possible. A prompt visit with an attorney is important for several reasons. Some cases require immediate investigation in order to preserve evidence such as photographs, witness statements, road measurements, vehicle data. The opposing party’s insurer will almost always have an investigator looking into the facts and you too should have someone on your side. Also, your claim must be filed within certain time limits or it will be terminated. There are various time limits for certain personal injury actions, and thus, only an attorney can explain the limitations applicable to your specific case. Unless other factors are present, a negligence action in Illinois generally must be filed within two years of your injury. There are however some times such as when a governmental entity is involved that a shorter limitations period may apply.
