Homewood Personal Injury Attorneys

You have been seriously injured in an accident in Homewood. It does not matter what kind of accident it was – they all end up with the same results. An injured person who often plays a substantial role in the household in terms of paying the bills causes problems for the entire family. Loss of work, pain and suffering, stress, emotional overload – it should all be compensated if someone else’s conduct or behavior resulted in your injuries.

The Illinois Pattern Jury Instructions have itemized categories that outline when an injured victim can recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit. Those categories include:

  •         The nature and extent of the injuries
  •         Loss of wages
  •         The expected duration of the injuries
  •         The worsening of a pre-existing ailment or condition
  •         Disfigurement
  •         Disability or “loss of a normal life”
  •         Pain and suffering, both past and future
  •         Emotional distress, both past and future
  •         Past and future medical care expenses
  •         Lost earnings or profits
  •         Past and future caretaking expenses
  •         The injured victim’s age and any shortened life expectancy

Our Homewood personal injury attorneys at The Horwitz Law Group have heard these stipulations explained in the courtroom of many of our past clients’ cases, so we are very aware of them. We understand what it takes to prove a personal injury case in Homewood and how to ensure our clients receive every penny of compensation they are entitled to under Illinois law.

Barriers to Your Compensation

When a jury awards a verdict in a personal injury case in Homewood, Illinois, there is a chance it could be reduced if you are found to be at fault for any percentage of the accident that caused your injuries. This is because Illinois allows juries to figure comparative negligence into personal injury lawsuit verdicts. If the jury finds that you are liable for a certain percentage of the accident, they will reduce the full amount of compensation you would have been entitled to by the percentage that you are found negligent.

When you have an experienced and skilled Homewood personal injury attorney, your chances of getting the maximum amount of compensation available under the law are much higher. The 

Homewood personal injury attorneys at The Horwitz Law Group work tirelessly to ensure that our clients are not undercut with high amounts of comparative negligence percentages. We work to prove that the other party was completely at fault for the accident that caused our client’s injuries and we fight every defense of innocence that the defendant’s plea to ensure that our client will receive the highest payouts possible.
