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.

•         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

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.
