Oak Lawn, IL Injury Statistics
After a car accident, neck and back injuries are the most common. Rear-end collisions and side impacts are the most common causes. They will occur if you move violently backwards, forwards, or sideways. Those over 35 or those with a history of back or neck injuries are more likely to suffer new injuries in an Oak Lawn, IL car accident.
Injuries to the neck and back begin similarly, whether they are short-term muscle strains or longer-term and more severe injuries. Any injury, no matter how minor or serious, should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible.
The ideal doctor to choose after a car accident is one who knows how to handle car accident injury claims. Therefore, your doctor will record all of the necessary information in your medical record that an insurance company will need to proceed with your claim. A doctor should be honest and communicate well with you. It is not fair for you to be treated by a physician who does not spend time with you, who does not explain the injuries or treatment protocol. You want a doctor who communicates with you and your attorney so that the three of us can cooperate to make your case a success. This is the top priority of our Car Accident Lawyer in Oak Lawn, IL.

I almost always get asked this question by accident victims. The answer will vary depending on the circumstances. It may take years.
Until you see your doctor, we can begin to resolve your case. Until you heal as much as you can, this will need to be done. It should be painless after some time. As a result of permanent injuries, one can suffer both permanent disabilities and chronic pain.
In retrospect, it makes sense. If you've been injured in a car accident, we won't settle your case until we know exactly how it happened. We can take care of any surgery you need. Clients who require surgery should wait until they are fully recovered from the surgery. Some surgeries require other surgeries to be performed. A single operation is not always the solution for some problems. In spite of a successful surgery, permanent damage can still occur.
Injuries that are permanent are much more valuable than those that are temporary. Please seek appropriate medical care prior to settlement.
Therefore, it is impossible to predict when a case will settle. We have a completely trained staff who understand how important it is to get your money as soon as possible. We typically settle our cases within a year of the accident. That's on par with other accident lawyers. Clients get excellent service as soon as possible when they hire our Car Accident Lawyer in Oak Lawn, IL.

Is an Oak Lawn, IL Car Accident Lawyer Necessary?
People do not realize that insurance companies control injury claims. Car accident insurance companies hire lawyers as soon as you are involved in a minor collision or in a serious crash with another vehicle. An insurance adjuster has recorded statements from people involved in a crash who might have been injured with the help of a script. A script such as this is designed to minimize how much money an injured person will receive. Those questions are tricky and are framed in a tricky way so they can extract answers from you that you might not fully understand or that you might not fully mean.
This has been my profession for quite some time, and I see it every day. In rare instances, I receive a recorded statement taken by my client before I represented him or her. There's typically a lot of bad stuff in that statement, so I am rarely surprised by it. Usually, there are things that hurt my clients case or things which can out and out destroy their car accident injury case.
Therefore, I advise people never to give a recorded statement until they are represented. Make sure you sign any papers carefully and be careful what you say to an insurance company.
A lawyer is assigned to every insurance company from day one. The wealthy can certainly afford to deal with such things, as they are rich. The majority of injured people do not have income coming in, and therefore cannot hire an attorney.
This is why personal injury lawyers provide free consultations. I offer a 100% free and obligation-free consultation either in person or over the phone, or even over Zoom if that is your preference. Thus, you will be able to determine what your rights are and identify any danger zones in your case. And, if you want me to handle your case, I will tell you whether it's a good case or not, and we can sign right over the Internet via an email or DocuSign. Or if you prefer, I can mail you the paperwork or you can come to my office to sign up. It would not be a problem if I drove to your house.
The entire focus of my practice is helping people who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. Injured parties find my car accident injury claim process simple and stress free. It is important that you keep your doctor's appointments and focus on recovering from your injuries. I will take care of the rest.
You can reach me at 312-500-4500 if you need help, you want representation, or even just have questions. You are welcome to contact me night or day, any day of the year. You can reach me by phone any time. I would like to hear from you in the event of a car accident in Oak Lawn, IL.
