None.
Lawyers who are trying to seem fancy call themselves "Attorneys". But whether you are calling a lawyer or an attorney, we are all the same.
Believe it or not, you do not always need a Chicago car accident lawyer if you were involved in a crash. A lot of lawyers will not tell you that.
I always encourage people who have been involved in a car accident in Chicago to get a free consultation. It is the best way to know if you have a case or not. Lots of people have called me over the years to discover they actually did have a case when they had doubts. And I've rescued a lot of cases. So a free consultation is a good idea.
Here are a few situations where there is no need to consult with Chicago car accident lawyers:
If you did not get hurt in the crash, I tell people to give it at least a week. I have successfuly helped dozens of people who had no pain on the scene of the crash, but pain delveoped in the days and week which followed. Do not give up on a claim.
But if you really are not hurt at all, then there's little point to calling a car accident attorney.
If you got hurt in a car crash and the crash was your fault completely, then there's no other person, company or insurance company to file a case or claim against. Still, if you had insurance coverage, you may have what's called 'Uninsured Motorist Coverage' and that means we can get you some money to cover your medical expenses.
If your car crash was more than 2 years ago and you never filed a law suit or ademand for arbitration, then your Statute opf Limitations for your Chicago car accident case might be over. That means you probably cannot collect any money.
I really must caution you, however. A good Chicago car accident lawyer can do a lot for you. You just might have a case after all.
Ethical rules prevent you from having more than one lawyer unless the lawyers are working together. And those same rules mean a lawyer cannot give you legal advice or help. on your case if you are still prepresented.
Of course, you can always change lawyers, but I caution people to be careful. if your case has been going on for a long time or has problems, or it is too close to a deadline or trial, it will be hard to find a new Chicago car accident attorney lawyer willing to take the case.
The sooner you call, the sooner a Chicago car accident lawyer can give you the benefit of their experience and advice.
I speak with a lot of people every year who delay months or even years, and it is never good. From knowing who the good doctors are, which insurance companies are good or bad, or knowing about the deadlines which apply to your car accident case, you get valuable information early enough in your case for it to do you some good. This means a faster and bigger settlement for you.
Most if not all injuiry lawyers offer a free consultation. That means you can talk to the lawyer, ask youre questions, tell them what happened, and you get free advice.
Of course, the lawyer will tell you if you have a good case or not, and perhaps what it might be worth. He or she will be able to tell you if there are big challenges or problems in your case and how they might be fixed. And, the lawyer might offer to represent you.
It is always your choice whether you want to hire the lawyer or not, but with way, the consultation is free.
If you have been hurt, reach out for a free consultation. It is free but the info you get may be worth thousands (or more) to you.

Hiring Scott was one of the best moves I have made in my life. Scott is a down to earth person and attorney. Scott is a 5 star first class act who really knows his stuff. The Judge said his presentation was one of if not the best he had ever seen. Take my advice, hire Scott I’m sure you’ll be 200% satisfied I was.
Scott not only cares about the case, but he truly cares about his clients and that makes him the best lawyer I have ever met and hired! He won my case! He is thorough in everything he does. I highly recommend Scott, and will always refer him to family and friends.
I hired Scott DeSalvo upon a friend’s recommendation. His office kept me informed of developments as they happened, and I felt the settlement reached was fair considering my injuries. I would highly recommend Scott DeSalvo to represent your personal injury case.
