Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer in Wheaton, IL?

After an injury, attorneys are usually your best opportunity to maximize the value of your claim. The majority of our Wheaton, IL clients do not have law degrees and do not have the same understanding of the lawsuit process that a law firm does. When you hire a Burger Law personal injury lawyer, we will right away start:

• Gathering evidence that will corroborate your claim
• Consulting with accident experts to establish the precise cause your injuries
• Working with with physicians and healthcare providers to calculate the full value of your past and future medical bills
• Developing a successful legal strategy
• Combating the lies and dishonest ploys of the insurance company
• Keeping you up-to-date from initial consultation to final settlement offer so you are not left in the dark
• Being tough in negotiations to get you the settlement offer that fully compensated you for your injuries

If we cannot secure a fair settlement offer in negotiations, we will take the fight in front of a judge and jury. With minor injuries that that only require an appointment with your primary care physician, you may not need a personal injury lawyer to get the financial recovery you are owed. But if your injuries require ongoing treatment, or if the liable party will not accept blame, an experienced and knowledgeable attorney will be your best bet to get the compensation you need to recover. We will always be straightforward with you on how much value we can add to your claim. If you have any questions about what a personal injury lawyer can do for your claim in Wheaton, IL, call us for a complimentary case review at (312) 500-HURT.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Wheaton, IL?

In Illinois, the statute of limitations is two years for most personal injury claims, under 735 ILCS 5/. That means you must file a claim within two years of when the injury, not the accident, happened. But, there are three basic exceptions:

1. If you were under 18 when your injury occurred, you have two years to file a claim after your 18th birthday.
2. If you were under a “legal disability” when the injury happened, you have two years from the date the disability was “removed.”
3. In medical malpractice cases, you have two years from the date you discovered the injury or could reasonably have been expected to discover the injury. No medical malpractice claim can be made more than four years after the injury occurred, unless you were under 18. Then you would have until your 22nd birthday.

While it sounds like two years is a long time, you do not want to delay in contacting an attorney. Your personal injury lawyer at Burger Law will have to investigate your claim and communicate with the insurance company you are making a claim against. It is not worth taking the time to wonder if your case really has merit. Reach out to a Burger Law Wheaton, IL personal injury lawyer immediately at (314) 500-HURT or contact us online.

What Compensation Can I Get In My Wheaton, IL Personal Injury Claim?

In general, there are two types of damages you can seek in a Wheaton, IL personal injury claim: economic damages and non-economic damages:

• Economic damages compensate you for the economic harm related to your injuries, for instance:
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning potential if your injuries result in permanent disability
  • Medical expenses, past and future
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
• Non-economic damages compensate you for losses that are harder to put a dollar figure on, including:
  • Pain and suffering
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Loss of ability to enjoy life
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Inconvenience
  • Physical impairment
  • Loss of consortium

Sometimes, you may also be eligible for punitive damages if the negligent harmed you intentionally or they were grossly negligent.

Juanita Matthews

Year of 2023

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!
