Auto Crash Lawyer in Chicago and Illinois

Is It Worth It to Get a Chicago and Illinois Auto Crash Lawyer?

You may be able to settle a typical fender-bender case with no injuries or minor injuries on your own. If the insurance company offers to pay for the full damage to your car, Chicago or Illinois emergency room visit and throws in a little extra for the inconvenience, an auto crash lawyer may not be able to add much value to your claim. However, with more significant injuries or in certain other circumstances, it is almost always worth it to get a lawyer for a car accident. The important thing is to never settle your case without speaking to a Chicago and Illinois auto crash lawyer first. Our consultation is free, so call us today at 312-500-HURT if you have been injured in a car accident to discuss your case.

Here are some of the common situations in which it is not only worth it but imperative to your future to get an Illinois auto crash lawyer in Chicago:

• You sustained an injury. While an insurance company may pay for a quick ER visit, injuries that require further care will also require further payment. An insurance company may try to downplay the severity of your injuries or the necessity of the treatment. You may also lose time off work or be limited in your future earning potential. Our Chicago-based Illinois auto crash lawyer knows how to calculate the exact dollar amount of your damages, and uses our network of medical and economic experts to determine the cost of your future medical treatment.
• The insurance company is not cooperating. Insurance adjusters are professional negotiators whose main interest is the company's profits - not fairly compensating you - and most of them are very good at their jobs. Unfortunately for them, so are we. Our Chicago and Illinois auto crash lawyer has over two decades of experience standing up to bullies like resistant and devious insurance companies. We know the tactics insurance companies use to minimize your claim. Chicago and Illinois insurance companies fear us because they know we take on and win the tough cases. If you think you are being cheated out of the money you are owed, call Burger Law today at 312-500-HURT.
• There is a dispute over who is at fault. Sometimes negligent drivers just do not want to take responsibility for their actions. Other times an insurance company will try to pay you less by pinning part of the accident on you. Illinois is a comparative negligence state, meaning that you will receive lower compensation if you can be legally blamed for part of the accident. Illinois Compiled Statutes 625 ILCS 5/11-401 stipulates that if you are blamed for over 50 of the accident, you will not be compensated at all. Our Chicago-based auto crash lawyer at Burger Law knows how to determine liability in motor vehicle accidents and will make sure to hold the at-fault party responsible for their actions.
• There are other complications to your case. Maybe your accident involved multiple vehicles, or you were hit by a drunk driver who somehow got out of his criminal charges and is denying liability. Illinois law is complicated and it can be tough for the average person to know how to proceed in complicated cases. When you hire a Chicago auto crash lawyer from Burger Law, you are getting a knowledgeable and dedicated auto crash legal team who knows the ins and outs of the Illinois and Chicago legal systems and handles all the legal aspects of your case for you.
• The injury resulted in wrongful death. The most tragic car accidents are fatal. When that happens, you need the personal and compassionate care and counsel of the car crash attorneys at Burger Law. We know you can never be truly compensated for the death of a loved one, but we will stand by your side to ensure you receive justice and that your financial future is secure.

The average driver will be in three or four accidents in their lifetime. While that means most people may acquire some experience handling car accident cases, it does not make the average person an expert. Your Chicago and Illinois auto crash lawyer at Burger Law has seen hundreds of car accident cases and knows how liability and negligence cases work. If you sustained an injury in a car accident because somebody else broke the rules, contact Burger Law today.
