What a Lawyer Can Do

A personal injury attorney can take many actions to make your life easier and ensure that you receive maximum compensation for your injuries—no matter what kind of accident or injuries you suffer. While many associate personal injury claims with car accidents, there’s a broader scope. Even if your injury didn’t result from a car accident, seeking legal advice is crucial.

Your personal injury lawyer will clarify your rights in ways you can understand, helping you make informed decisions about your claim. They also provide comprehensive case analysis. Your attorney can approach a personal injury claim with various strategies. They will evaluate your case and propose appropriate approaches to secure the compensation you’re entitled to.

Following an incident, you’ll likely interact with an insurance adjuster regarding your claim. It’s imperative to have legal representation to safeguard your interests. Otherwise, you might receive less compensation than you deserve or none at all. It’s best to let your Illinois personal injury attorney deal with the insurance company and their adjuster.

It’s common for insurance companies to offer lower-than-deserved settlements. Without negotiation skills, gauging the adequacy of a settlement offer is challenging. In contrast, your personal injury lawyer can leverage their training and experience to ensure you receive the best possible settlement.

Suppose negotiations with the insurance company prove fruitless. In that case, legal action like filing a lawsuit, going to trial, or engaging in mediation may be necessary. Your attorney will represent you in all legal proceedings pertaining to your case.

Worried about legal fees? At Armbruster Dripps Blotevogel LLC, we represent personal injury victims on a contingency basis. This means they only collect a fee if they secure compensation for you. We ensure access to quality legal representation without upfront costs.
