When you’re attempting to cope with an injury after an accident that wasn’t your fault, it’s normal to feel like the responsible party should step up and help. This feeling could manifest itself into reality if you take advantage of personal injury laws that are in place in every state throughout the U.S.

In Chicago, if you find yourself injured due to someone else's negligence, you can file a lawsuit to seek compensation for your losses. Chicago personal injury attorneys at Kermani LLP can help you better understand your legal rights, options, and best course of action. Depending on what happened, you could be eligible to receive compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and even emotional distress. 

Learn more about how our firm here at Kermani LLP can help you get justice and find financial relief after your accident.

Why Choose Kermani LLP for Your Injury Case?

Seeking out a claim isn’t always straightforward even when you know the other party was at fault and the law is on your side. That’s why you’ll want to vet the very best personal injury lawyers in Chicago to find one that’s well-suited to handle your claim. The process of finding a lawyer can feel time-consuming, but it’s worth your efforts since you’ll only have one shot at filing a rock-solid claim and getting the compensation you deserve.

Here at Kermani LLP, our attorneys have been focused on helping injured individuals use the law to their advantage and get justice since 2011. While many firms in the area have never stepped foot in a Chicago courtroom, our lawyers focus on litigating your trial in court. By taking this approach, we present the strongest possible case upfront. This front-loaded effort typically maximizes your claim and reduces the resistance you might experience from the other party. It also usually means your case will be resolved faster since the other party is more likely to settle.

Types of Personal Injury Cases Handled by Kermani LLP

Another key reason to work with our firm here at Kermani LLP is that our Chicago personal injury lawyers have ample experience handling specific types of personal injury claims. If you’re going through a type of accident that we’re experienced with, then you can lean on our knowledge and expertise to ensure your claim is successful.

In general, a personal injury attorney should have an area of focus. If you find an attorney who seems to focus on any type of claim, then that should be taken as a red flag. The law is vast, but your attorney’s focus shouldn’t be. Here are the areas our team is most confident in here at Kermani LLP.

Traffic Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are the most common type of personal injury claim, especially in Chicago, the country’s third-most populous city. In 2022 alone, there were over 108,000 motor vehicle accidents. Motor vehicle accidents are usually also one of the easiest types of cases to litigate since all motorists, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians have a legal duty to provide for the care and safety of everyone else on the road. That means there is always a responsible party when an accident happens.

The most difficult part of these cases is often determining who caused the accident and calculating the extent of the losses. Illinois is an at-fault state, which means the party who caused the accident will bear the responsibility of paying for those losses. Illinois courtrooms also use a modified comparative negligence standard, though, which means you can only file a claim if you were less than 50% at fault. It’s common for the other party to attempt to throw some blame onto you to reduce their liability.

It’s important to know what to do after an accident to preserve your rights. You can easily derail your claim by making the mistake of assuming fault, telling the police or your insurance provider that you’re not hurt, or failing to get timely medical care.

Wrongful Death Situations

Our firm is also comfortable handling wrongful death situations. Under the law in Illinois, a wrongful death occurs when all the following elements are present in a situation:

  1. The other party had a legal duty to provide for the care and safety of your loved one.
  2. The other party failed to uphold their legal duty of care.
  3. This failure led to the accident that later caused a fatality.
  4. The fatality resulted in losses on your behalf.

If you’ve tragically lost a loved one and suffered financially as a result, then reach out to our office now to learn more about your options.

Construction Accidents

Our firm is also comfortable handling construction accident claims. Constructed-related accidents often result in substantial, and even life-altering, injuries. Since these accidents occur at work, many times the person is covered under worker’s compensation policies held by their employers.

If you need help navigating a worker’s compensation claim or you think there may be other options available to you, then we can help. You might be able to pursue compensation from your employer if they don’t have the proper compensation policies in place or if they were egregiously reckless or negligent. For instance, if they encouraged employees to violate OSHA rules and that led to an accident, then you might be eligible to file a lawsuit.

Severe Injuries: Burns, Traumatic Brain Injury, Paralysis, and Spinal Cord Injuries

Our team of skilled lawyers are also prepared to handle your claim if you’ve experienced a severe injury. Serious injuries make for more complicated claims, but that also means you’re likely to receive a bigger payout in the end. You’ll want a strong legal advocate by your side to ensure you get the full value of your claim, including any long-term losses you’re likely to suffer.

Understanding Your Rights After an Injury

After your injury, you need to learn more about your rights. Typically, your best option is to talk to Chicago injury lawyers who can fully outline your rights and options. In general, though, if someone else had a legal duty to provide for your care and failed to do so, you have a right to file a claim. You have the right to seek out compensation that fully covers the extent of your losses. Your right to file a claim is limited, though, based on statute of limitation laws, which give you about two years to initiate action.

Navigating Fault and Liability in Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury claims are only valid when negligence has occurred. Negligence can only happen if one party has a legal duty of care towards the other person and they are at fault for the incident. In these cases, legal liability is transferred to the at-fault party.

While this may seem straightforward, things can get complicated quickly when multiple people are potentially at fault, your losses are significant, or your injuries are likely to cause long-term losses. To navigate these issues, it’s best to work with an attorney.

What Compensation Can You Can Recover?

After an accident, the compensation for losses you’ve endured should accurately reflect the extent of your losses. To understand how much compensation you can recover, you need to know more about the types of compensation you can collect and the value of your claim. While speaking with personal injury lawyers in Chicago, Illinois about your potential compensation is usually the best thing to do, we’ll provide you with general information about these topics below.

Types of Damages Available in Illinois

After your accident, a Chicago personal injury law firm can help you seek compensation in the form of damages. Economic damages describe the actual financial losses you suffer after the accident like your medical costs, repair costs to any property damage, or lost income. Non-economic damages are the non-financial losses you suffer due to the accident like pain and suffering or emotional distress.

No Caps on Damages: What it Means for Your Case

In Illinois, there is no cap to the damages you can seek out in a personal injury claim. There are no laws that will limit how much compensation you could potentially collect. In your case, that means you should be fully exploring the extent of your losses. You’ll want to be sure you consider long-term losses and the life-long impacts your injury could have on your overall quality of life.

How to Properly Value Your Losses

Before you begin any sort of settlement negotiation, you need to properly value your losses. In general, you shouldn’t trust your insurance adjuster to offer you maximum compensation. Usually, an insurance adjuster will work towards minimizing your payout to benefit the insurance company.

The Kermani LLP Advantage: How We Fight for Maximum Compensation

At Kermani LLP, we understand the challenges that come with experiencing a personal injury due to someone else's negligence. Our team of dedicated Chicago injury attorneys is committed to building the strongest possible claim for each client from the outset. We collect evidence that proves every claim we make, and we work to ensure that you get the full amount of compensation you deserve.

If you or a loved one have been involved in an accident that led to financial loss, injuries, or emotional distress, and you suspect that another party might be legally responsible, talking with the right personal injury lawyers in Chicago, IL can help you understand your situation and the legal avenues available to you. Your attorney will listen to you discuss the specific facts surrounding your accident and losses. From there, they’ll analyze the law to determine your options. If they think you have a case, then together, you can work towards collecting evidence, building up your case, and negotiating with the other party.

Most personal injury claims get resolved during negotiations, so you likely won’t have to step into a courtroom to secure compensation. That said, it’s still important to hire a lawyer who can compile a solid case for you. You’ll only have one opportunity to present the extent of your losses to the other party, so you want to be sure that you’ve considered everything.

What is the personal injury law in Illinois?

Under Illinois personal injury laws, an injured individual has the right to file a legal compensation claim when the following elements exist in their situation:

  1. One party had a legal duty to provide for the care of the second party.
  2. The first party fails to uphold their duty of care.
  3. This failure results in an accident.
  4. The accident directly results in financial losses to the second party.

Under personal injury laws, a duty of care is assumed in many situations. Drivers have to provide for the care and safety of other motorists, doctors must care for their patients, and businesses must care for their customers.

What is the statute of limitations on personal injury in Illinois?

Statute of limitation laws put a time limit on an injured person’s right to file a compensation claim. In Illinois, you generally have up to two years from the date of your accident, or the date when your injuries should’ve reasonably been discovered, to pursue a claim.

How do I find the best personal injury attorney in Chicago?

The best representative for your claim in Chicago will be a local who has experience litigating cases like yours and has positive past reviews from prior clients. While looking into various firms, it’s also a good idea to check out the lawyer’s past case results. This can help you determine if the lawyer can handle your situation. Finally, you’ll want to schedule a consultation with the firm to speak one-on-one with the lawyer. During this call or meeting, you’ll want to learn more about the lawyer’s availability, communication style, and overall personality. If everything seems like a good fit, then you’ve found the best attorney to meet your needs!

What compensation can I expect for a personal injury in Chicago?

After a personal injury accident, you can expect to receive financial compensation that accurately reflects your losses. Your total overall settlement award will depend on the level of your losses, the extent of any long-term damages, and your percentage of fault in the accident.

How do personal injury settlements work in Chicago?

If you’ve been involved in an accident in Chicago, the first thing you should do is get the medical treatment you need. Depending on the context of the accident and the severity of your injury, it might be wise to inform an authority about your incident before heading to the hospital. For instance, you’d want to call the police in a traffic accident, tell your boss after a construction incident, or tell an employee when you’ve been hurt inside a business.

Next, you’ll start documenting your losses. Contact a personal injury attorney when you’re ready to officially file your claim and start negotiating with the responsible party.

What should I document after experiencing a personal injury in Chicago?

You should document all your losses after an accident in Chicago. Keep records of medical bills, property repair estimates, statements from your employer about your lost wages, and information from your doctor regarding the severity of your condition. You’ll also want to keep copies of any official reports that document your accident. This might be a police report, work accident form, or something similar. If proving fault will be a concern, like after a traffic accident, then you’ll also want to document the scene and any proof of fault. This might include things like photographs of the accident, video footage of the incident, or similar evidence that proves what happened.

Can I pursue a personal injury claim in Chicago without going to court?

Most personal injury claims in Chicago are resolved outside of the courtroom. That said, you should always prepare to go to court just in case. Sometimes, the other party is unwilling to negotiate in good faith. They may have access to more financial or legal resources than you, which could result in them attempting to stronghold you. In these situations, your best option might be to take your claim to trial.
