Chicago Personal Injury Attorney

Personal Injury

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than 24 million people head to emergency rooms across the United States each year for accidental injuries. These injuries happen in many ways, most when you least expect them. Though it only takes a minute for an accident to occur, the effects of the resulting injuries can last a long time – and even a lifetime. 

If you suffered injuries in any type of accident, you need the right personal injury lawyer to protect your rights. Discuss your injuries and losses with Anspach Law Office today. 

How Personal Injury Claims Work

The law recognizes when people suffer injuries, and someone else is at fault, the injury victim should not have to pay for their own medical bills and other losses. However, in order to seek compensation for your losses, you need to take action and file an injury claim against the liable parties. 

The process generally begins with an insurance claim filed with the liable party’s insurer. You must provide supporting evidence of liability for the accident, as well as of your losses. Our injury attorneys assist clients with the following:

• Evaluate whether you have a valid claim
• Investigate the accident to determine who should be held responsible
• Calculate your damages, including medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future losses
• File the insurance claim and negotiate with the insurance adjuster for a favorable settlement
• File a personal injury lawsuit in civil court if needed and handle the entire litigation process

Most people believe that an injury claim requires them to go to court, though this is usually not the case. Our law firm knows how to stand up to insurance companies to negotiate fair settlements for our clients whenever possible.
