When someone has been injured in an accident that was caused by another person or company's fault, they always have medical and financial needs and issues. Under certain circumstances, they may be entitled to compensation for their injuries, the pain and suffering they are forced to endure and the burden of lost wages and other economic losses they are forced to bear. When you choose Your Chicago Accident Attorney to represent you, you can rest assured that your rights to compensation will be fully investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We work hard to make sure that our clients' interests are protected by selecting the finest investigators and experts to build the strongest cases. We help our clients and their families get through the difficult times immediately following an accident as well as the days, months and years ahead of them.
At the Law Offices of Your Chicago Accident Attorney, we are experienced in and handle accident cases of all kinds which cause serious harm to our clients. We have helped people get through catastrophes involving brain injuries, death, paralysis, amputations, burns, blindness and a multitude of other tragedies that changed their lives in just a moment. With almost 100 years of combined experience, it is difficult to imagine the type of case we have NOT been involved in! Some of the more common types of cases we have been successful in have arisen from:
Contigency fees are the legal fees that are charged by an attorney based upon the outcome of a case, rather than charges calculated on an hourly basis. A contingent fee is usually calculated as a percentage of the amount recovered by way of a settlement or verdict. If you do not win your case, and there is no settlement or verdict, then there is no fee that is charged to the client for the time and work done by the attorney.
While there is no legal requirement that you hire an attorney, by hiring Your Chicago Accident Attorney to represent you, you are making sure that your case will have the full attention of our attorneys and highly-trained staff. Insurance companies are in the business of making as much money as possible, and they will want to pay you as little as they can to resolve your case. With Your Chicago Accident Attorney by your side, your case will receive the benefit of the many resources that we bring to each case. If your case involves serious injuries, whether in Chicago or any other part of the United States, you need to be sure that the attorneys you hire have the experience and resources to handle your case properly. Serious cases often require serious resources to handle them, sometimes requiring an expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars! At Your Chicago Accident Attorney, you can be sure you'll have the benefit of both our experience and resources working for you.
A statute of limitations is a law that establishes the times within which a lawsuit may be filed. If the case is not filed in the proper court within the time established by the statute of limitations, you may very well lose the right to bring your case, no matter how strong a case you may have had before the limitations period expired. The application of the statute of limitations and other time limitations on your case is another reason that you need Your Chicago Accident Attorney as a part of your legal team. When we are retained as your attorneys, we immediately investigate, research and determine the appropriate limitations period to apply to your case so that your rights are protected!
