A serious accident can disrupt your regular life without due notice. Your normal routine can suddenly become difficult or impossible to carry out. You are left to wonder how you can ever regain the life on which you relied again.
To ease your burden, the state permits you to hold the person or people at fault for the accident legally and financially liable. You can initiate and complete this legal process by hiring one of the many talented Chicago accident attorneys to represent you in your case today.
Filing a Lawsuit to Win Damages
Your lawyer can immediately get to work filing a lawsuit on your behalf in court. This lawsuit gives the responsible person or people official notice that you intend to seek damages from them. They then have 30 days to decide to go to trial against you or offer you a settlement.
If they decide to go to trial, they can be countered by your legal team. If they decide to offer a settlement, they can have their lawyer or insurer vet the offer through your attorney’s law firm.
You could win a judgment or settlement to pay for your accident-related expenses. You also can get compensation for lost income and your future financial burdens from your injuries.
