Compensation for Personal Injury Claims in Illinois

It may be tempting to accept a settlement immediately after an accident from an big insurance company or the negligent parties involved. However, you should always consult our Pinckneyville, IL injury attorneys first to make sure your compensation is fair and justified — or to mount a case on your behalf to demand such a result. In order to have a legitimate personal injury claim in Illinois, your incident must meet the following criteria:

• Reasonable Duty of Care: We as a society have a moral “duty of care” in everyday life. Proving that there is a duty of care is the first step in proving negligence after an incident. For example, it is a business owner’s “duty” to protect his or her patrons from harm, like fixing a hole in the floor or faulty wiring. The same goes for truck drivers, big corporations, and others.
• Breach: The next step for proving negligence is showing how an entity “breached” their duty of care. A good example is a driver that blows a red light and crashes into another car or pedestrian. The driver knew they were supposed to stop, but breached their duty of care by not doing so.
• Causation: Causation is simply what caused the breach, like a landlord not salting a metal fire escape. This is the negligent act that breaches any expected duty of care.
• Damages: Lastly, there has to be financial damages. Financial harm may include rehabilitation, lost wages, and other expenses. Our Pinckneyville personal injury lawyers will consider short and long-term damages for our clients.

It is important to contact a qualified PI attorney if you need (or do not know if you need) legal representation. 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!
