Frequently Asked Questions About South Elgin Injury Claims
What is the first thing I should do after an accident?
Your first priority is your health; seek immediate medical attention. Then, report the accident to the South Elgin Police Department or other appropriate law enforcement. If you are able, take photos of the scene and your injuries, and get contact information for any witnesses. Before you speak with any insurance company, contact our firm.
How long will my case take in the Kane County court system?
The timeline for an injury case can range from a few months to over a year. While the 16th Circuit is an efficient court, complex cases require time to build. The vast majority of cases are resolved through a negotiated settlement before a trial is necessary. Our goal is to achieve the best result as efficiently as possible.
The insurance company offered me a settlement. Should I accept?
You should never accept an initial offer without speaking to an experienced personal injury attorney. These first offers are almost always far less than the true value of your claim. Signing a release will prevent you from ever seeking further compensation for your injuries.
How much is my personal injury claim worth?
The value of your claim is determined by the full scope of your damages, including all past and future medical bills, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and the overall impact the injury has had on your life.
