Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury
At my personal injury law firm, I am dedicated to helping clients navigate the complex process of seeking justice. Below, I have answered some of the most common questions about personal injury.
How do I know whether I have a valid personal injury case or not?
To have a valid case, you must be able to prove that another person or entity was negligent or reckless and that their actions caused you harm. This can include things like failing to follow safety protocols or driving recklessly.
Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault for the accident?
In Illinois, the court uses a modified comparative fault system. This means that you can recover damages if you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. Your damages will be reduced by the percentage of fault that is attributed to you. For example, if you are found to be 40% at fault for the accident, you can still recover 60% of your damages.
How is the value of my personal injury law claim determined in Illinois?
The value of your personal injury law claim is determined by a variety of factors, including the severity of your injuries and the amount of medical bills and lost wages. Other factors may include your pain and suffering, any permanent disability or disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.
