Compensation for Personal Injury Claims

One of the important factors in a personal injury case is determining negligence. You may be able to get a quick and easy insurance payout (settlement). This can be tempting. However, it is important for our Newton, IL, injury attorneys to make sure your compensation is fair and justified. Here are a few ways we go about proving a claim:

• Reasonable Duty of Care: We as a society have a moral “duty of care” in everyday life. Proving there is a duty of care is a good first step in proving negligence after an incident. For example, it is a business owner’s “duty” to protect his or her customers from harm, like fixing a hole in the floor or faulty wiring. The same goes for truck drivers, big corporations, and others.
• Breach: Another step for proving negligence is showing how a person or entity “breached” their duty of care. A good example is a driver who ignores a stop sign and crashes into another car or pedestrian. They know they were supposed to stop, but breached their duty of care by not doing so.
• Causation: Causation is what caused the breach, like a store owner knowingly ignoring a dangerous situation. This is the negligent act that breaches the duty of care.
• Damages: Lastly, there has to be financial repercussions. Financial harm might include lost wages, medical bills, and other expenses. Burger Law’s Newton personal injury attorneys will consider short and long-term damages for our clients.

It is important to contact a qualified personal injury attorney if you need (or do not know if you need) help. Burger Law has a strong track record for providing just that and winning cases.

This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!

Gary and Casey took great care of me for 2.5 years as my lawsuit was finally settled. I feel he helped me achieve justice for me and my 4 children after their father died from medical malpractice and neglect. Thanks to Gary, my kids now have a great start to their college and adult lives. Thank you Gary and Casey, for fighting for us so hard at our most trying and difficult time in our lives thus far. Love and God bless from my family to yours!
