Chicago Car Accident Claim Lawyer

Most car accidents occur in a split second, but the aftermath can impact you for quite some time. Statistically, the average person will, in their lifetime, be involved in one or more car accidents. Often, traffic accidents can leave you injured and unable to work, leading to mounting bills and stressful financial strain. In extreme instances, a car accident could even result in the loss of a loved one’s life.

Most car accidents are the result of negligent actions. If you believe that another person was negligent and caused your crash, you should not hesitate to hire an experienced Chicago car accident claim lawyer to help you with your claim. Often, seeking the counsel of a trusted lawyer will provide you with the best chance of gaining the compensation you deserve.

Typical Injuries That Occur After a Car Accident

Car accidents are each different, and they can result in a wide range of injuries. Some of the more common injuries that stem from crashes include:

Head Injuries: After a car accident, many people can be left with a head injury. The severity of the injury will depend on many factors, but common head injuries associated with car accidents include concussions, serious traumatic brain injuries, and skull fractures.
Soft Tissue Injuries: There are many soft tissue injuries that people can suffer after being in a car accident. The most prevalent types are bruising, neck and back injuries, joint injuries, or whiplash.
Internal Injuries: Often, these types of injuries are severe and possibly life-threatening. Car accidents can cause broken bones and internal bleeding. The force of the accident can even cause damage to your internal organs, and this could have devastating effects.

All of these injuries require medical attention, and they might keep you from working and earning income. You might also keep incurring losses from serious injuries well into the future.

Reasons Why You Could be Entitled to Compensation

You are entitled to compensation when your accident happened due to the negligence of another driver or party. Some causes of crashes that might lead to a claim include:

Distracted driving
Disobeying or disregarding traffic laws and signs
Speeding and recklessly driving
The negligent party was suffering from driver fatigue
Defective auto parts that malfunctioned

Determining what compensation you are entitled to can be challenging. That’s why it’s vital for you to consider hiring a Chicago lawyer to help you determine what damages you would likely qualify for, which can include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
