Car Accident Oswego, IL
A Lawyer for Accidents in Oswego, IL
In the wake of a car accident or any type of accident, you may have a lot of questions. Those questions will vary depending on the victim.
Do you have any recommendations for a doctor? What is the cost of going to a doctor? If I get hurt, what should I do? Will my injuries get better? How long will it take for me to get back to work? It would be best to consult a lawyer. Who would be the best to contact?
There is nothing unusual about asking questions of this nature. Many accident victims have come to me for assistance in the past. The clients receive comprehensive medical treatment following their injuries. All medical bills are paid, and we make sure that they are reimbursed for their lost wages. In most situations, the case is settled quickly and with minimal hassle.

My clients usually visit me at their home or at their favorite restaurant. Zoom and DocuSign let clients become clients without having to travel to my office.

Oswego, 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 Oswego, 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.

In Oswego, IL, How Long Does it Take to Settle a Car Accident?
A motor vehicle accident victim almost always asks me this question. It depends on the case. Sometimes it takes years.
Most people don't realize that we can't begin to resolve your case until you've seen your doctor. This will need to be done until you've healed as much as you can. Ideally, you will not feel pain anymore. Permanent injuries can result in permanent disabilities as well as permanent pain in the body.
Upon reflection, it makes sense. In Oswego, IL, we won't settle a car accident injury case until we know exactly how you were injured. Please let us know if you require surgery. I advise clients who need surgery to wait until they are fully recovered from the surgery and after the surgery. Some surgeries require other surgeries. Some problems can't be fixed with one operation. It is still possible to sustain permanent damage even if all goes well during surgery.
An injury that is permanent and serious is worth much more than an injury that is temporary and minor. We need to thoroughly investigate this case before settling it and make sure you receive proper medical care.
Due to this, predicting the length of time it will take to settle a case is impossible. I have a completely trained staff who understand that getting your money as soon as possible is a very high priority in my office. Typically, we settle our cases within a year of the accident or shortly thereafter. That's as good as any other car accident lawyer. Our clients get excellent service quickly.
IF YOU'VE BEEN HURT, YOU ARE FIGHTING AGAINST AN INSURANCE COMPANY...
Even if you are not ready to talk to a lawyer, I have created a FREE INJURY "CHEAT SHEET" for you for free and no obligtion. The Injury "Cheat Sheet" is easy to read, only 4 pages long, but explains your rights!
What Should I Do if I Am Involved in a Car Accident in Oswego, IL?
It's a little-known fact that car insurance companies control injury claims. As soon as you have a fender bender or a more serious accident with someone else, the insurer hires a lawyer to defeat your claim. There are scripts that insurance adjusters use when asking people involved in a crash who may have been injured to give a recorded statement. An injured person's compensation is minimized by these scripts. They asked tricky questions and asked them in a tricky manner to trick you into saying things you might not fully understand or mean.
It's something I see all the time since I've been doing it for a long time. It is extremely rare for me to receive a recorded statement from my client before I represent them. There's usually a lot of bad stuff in that statement, and I'm seldom disappointed. My clients' car accident injury cases are almost always hurt by things in that statement.
Therefore, never give a recorded statement before being represented. Also, be cautious when signing any papers and when speaking with the insurance company over the phone.
A lawyer represents insurance companies from day one. Of course, they are rich and can afford to deal with such things. Injury victims often do not have money coming in and cannot afford a lawyer.
A free consultation is offered by personal injury lawyers because of this. If you prefer, I also offer free and no-obligation consultations over the phone or over the Internet. You can discover your rights and the danger zones in your case so you can avoid them. I can sign you up over the Internet via email or a doc you sign if you want me to accept your case. Alternatively, I can mail you the forms or meet with you in my office if you prefer. If you prefer, I can even drive to you.
I have dedicated my entire legal practice to helping people who have been injured in car accidents. I will make the entire process of filing a personal injury claim simple and stress-free for injured persons. Make sure that you keep your doctor's appointments and get well. I will handle everything else.
You can contact me at 312-500-4500 if you need assistance, if you would like representation, or even just if you have questions. You can reach me 24/7. I always answer the phone. Should you have been involved in a car accident in Oswego, IL, I look forward to hearing from you.
