Madison, IL Personal Injury Lawyer: FAQs

To get fairly compensated, you're (with the help of an attorney) going to need to accomplish several things. To make a successful personal injury claim, you and your lawyer have to prove negligence, causation, fault and financial, emotional and physical losses. Below are a few questions victims often ask about their situation:

• How much does it cost to hire a lawyer? You do not have to pay anything up-front to retain our services. Put simply, our Madison, IL personal injury lawyers take a portion of any case victory — called a contingency fee — and you don't pay unless we win.
• What should I do after an accident? The first step is to get medical assistance. Medical records are extremely important evidence. Even if an injury seems minor, some injuries do not reveal themselves immediately, and delaying treatment could hurt your case.
• How much is my case worth? There are a lot of factors to consider when you figure out the economic and noneconomic damages. Damages can include medical treatment and physical therapy, property loss, loss of income, pain and suffering, inability, lost earning potential, and others.
• What information do I need to give my attorney? It's important to keep track of everything. Pictures of the accident, witness testimonies, how much time you had to take off work, names and addresses, and other information are crucial for winning a personal injury claim. This documentation helps us justify financial damages.
• What other questions should I ask before hiring a lawyer? The choice of a law firm is important, so you need to ask some questions before hiring one. For example, Do you have experience with this specific accident claim? Do you go to trial? How much or a percentage do you charge? What is the monetary value of my claim? How long will the claim take to settle? What if I was partially responsible for the accident? Do you believe in my case? Why? You need to know as much as you can before making this very important decision.
