What is Liability?

Damages vary based on a variety of factors based on how, what, where, and why. If you're part of a semi-truck crash, for instance, it is key to figure out who is to blame. That's where our personal injury attorneys in Madison, IL, come into play. Was it the truck driver, the driver's company, the road? That is why our firm is here.

You may be able to seek damages by either pursuing a claim with the negligent party’s insurance or filing a lawsuit against them in the city of Madison; however, it may difficult to know if you have a right to a claim in either situation.

In order to succeed, you must meet two essential elements: damages and fault. For example, an individual, company, or employee(s) of a business must commit a wrongful act or fail at their duty to protect others from dangerous situations in order to be guilty of negligence and thus held liable for your injuries. Furthermore, the accident must meet time restrictions set forth by IL statute of limitations.

What Damages Can Be Recovered For a Personal Injury Case in Madison, IL?

It is Halvorsen Klote's responsibility to make sure our clients receive fair compensation for their injuries. Our Madison, IL, accidents attorneys will look at financial damages, punitive measures, and other factors that may have caused physical, mental, and financial harm. The two primary types of compensation an accident attorney in Madison, IL, may provide includes:

  • Special Damages: Special or "economic" damages often include any loss of financial earnings, medical expenses, lost benefits, any loss of inheritance, and even the value of goods a victim would have provided if they weren't injured. You can also include medical and funeral expenses that survivors had to pay for. Any economic impact can be considered special damages, which is another reason why it is important to keep track of financial repercussions. When you begin a case, our team will help you get these items in order.
  • General Damages: Less specific, general damages are as important for victims to consider. Our Madison, IL, accident lawyers will consider pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of enjoyment, and other long-lasting concerns post-injury.

Madison, IL, Personal Injury Attorneys

Often, personal injury claims are settled before reaching trial but, if one becomes necessary, we do not hesitate to face large insurance companies to get the amount of compensation you find fair for your injuries.

These big insurance companies will do anything they can to limit their liability and will therefore pressure you to make quick decisions on a settlement offer that might not be in your long-term best interests. Without someone on your side, you could lose out on getting sufficient coverage for your losses.

Furthermore, the personal injury claim process is made up of unfair denials, mountains of paperwork, complicated details, and unexpected obstacles. With our extensive experience, we know the ins and outs of the process and want to make it as seamless as possible for you.

If you need further help determining if you have a personal injury case, an experienced Madison personal injury lawyer at The Hayden Law Firm can determine if you have sufficient evidence to appropriately seek damages and prove fault. Contact our firm today.
