An Experienced Attorney Can Help Strengthen Your Claim and Give You A Better Chance of Obtaining Compensation
To recover compensation after an Illinois car crash, you must show the other driver was negligent. This means demonstrating they were less careful than a hypothetical reasonable driver would have been under the circumstances — plus, under Illinois’ 625 ILCS 5/11-401, if the other driver fled the scene of the accident and caused you injuries, this can be considered a felony. You can also create a presumption of negligence by showing that the at-fault driver violated the rules of the road.
Drafahl Law Firm will help you to gather the necessary evidence to make your case. Our legal team will also:
- Work to identify all potential defendants to maximize the chances of full recovery
- Find expert witnesses if necessary to testify on your behalf about the cause of the collision or the losses you have endured due to the crash
- Send a demand letter to the insurance company to get settlement negotiations underway and help to establish a baseline for the compensation you are entitled to receive
- Develop sound legal arguments to present in court when no settlement agreement is possible, or to maximize the chances the insurer will make you a fair offer to resolve your claim.
If your car was hit by a large commercial vehicle, the injuries are most likely more severe than the average fender-bender — a Belleville truck accident attorney will pursue maximum compensation for the damages you received.
