Many car accidents in and around Waukegan aren’t just fender-benders. People get seriously injured in Lake County car accidents and some even die from their injuries. Drivers, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians are always at risk of being hit by a careless and negligent driver.
The Objective of the Opposing Insurer
Always remember that the representatives from the opposing insurance company in your accident don’t have your best interests in mind. They represent the negligent driver, and their objective is to settle your personal injury claim as quickly as possible for the least amount of compensation as possible. Without an experienced and effective Waukegan car accident lawyer representing your best interests, you’re at that opposing insurer’s mercy.
Protecting Your Best Interests
Injured accident victims simply don’t have the background, education, or experience to take on insurance companies that are worth billions of dollars. The legal process is confusing, liability issues are complex, and damages become complicated quickly. Trusting a respected and successful Waukegan car accident law firm with your personal injury claim or lawsuit is going to operate to protect your best interests and future while maximizing any proceeds that you might derive from a settlement or award.
Recoverable Types of Compensation
Personal injury damages that can be pursued after a car accident depend on the nature and extent of the injuries that you or your family member suffered. Here are just some of the damages that Illinois law recognizes:
-
Past and future medical bills.
-
Past and future lost earnings.
-
Any permanent disfigurement or disability.
-
Pain and suffering.
-
Loss of a normal life.
