Belleville, IL Personal Injury Lawyer: FAQs

To get fairly compensated, you're (with the help of an attorney) going to need to accomplish a few things. To win a tort (injury) case, you're going to have to prove negligence, causation, fault and how the injury has affected you financially, emotionally and physically. Here are a few questions to ask a personal injury lawyer before you retain their services:

• How much does a personal injury lawyer cost? You do not have to pay anything up-front to retain our services. Put simply, our Belleville, IL personal injury lawyers are paid with a percentage of the final compensation you recover — called a contingency fee — and you don't pay unless we win.
• If I'm injured, what do I need to do? The first step is to get medical assistance. Medical records are extremely important evidence. Even if you do not have serious symptoms, having a written document will help your case.
• How much is my case worth? There are a lot of factors to consider when you calculate special and general damages. Damages may include medical treatment and rehabilitation, property loss, loss of income, pain and suffering, inability, lost earning potential, and others.
• What do I need to give my lawyer? It's important to keep track of everything. Any witness testimonies, the name of the ambulance company, medical records, names, dates, phone numbers, pictures, expenses, and other material go a long way in a personal injury case. We need to be able to justify financial damages.
• What should I ask my lawyer? The choice of a law firm is important, so you need to ask some questions before hiring one. For example, Have you had this kind of case before? How much experience do you have in the courtroom? How much or a percentage do you charge? What is the monetary value of my claim? How long does it take to get a settlement? What if I was partially at-fault? Do you believe in my case? Why? Again, the more information the better.
