Frequently Asked Questions

What Steps Should I Take Immediately After an Accident in Chicago?

Following an accident, it is crucial to ensure your safety and that of others around you. Call emergency services if necessary and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Reporting the incident to the police will create an official record, beneficial for any future legal actions. Gathering evidence at the scene—like photographs and witness contacts—will support your claim. Finally, contacting a qualified attorney is essential to help navigate the aftermath of an accident, secure your rights, & advise you on steps to take moving forward.

How Does Comparative Negligence Affect My Claim in Chicago?

In Illinois, the concept of comparative negligence may impact the compensation you can receive if you are partially at fault for an accident. Under this rule, you can still recover damages as long as your fault is less than 51% of the total. The compensation you receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, your compensation will decrease by 20%. At MDR LAW LLC, we understand how to assess and argue for a fair allocation of fault, ensuring you receive the maximum compensation entitled to you.

Can I File a Claim for an Accident Involving a City Vehicle in Chicago?

Yes, you can file a claim if you were involved in an accident with a city vehicle, but the process can be complex. In Chicago, special rules apply to government entities, often requiring quicker notification of the claim. Typically, you must file a notice of claim within a specific period, often six months, to preserve your right to take legal action. Understanding these timelines is crucial for pursuing reimbursement for damages, and our team can guide you through the entire process, ensuring compliance with all necessary legal requirements.

How Long Does It Take to Resolve a Personal Injury Case in Chicago?

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case can vary greatly depending on the case's complexity, the willingness of parties to negotiate, and court schedules. Some cases may settle within months, while others, especially those requiring a trial, can take a year or more. At MDR LAW LLC, we prioritize efficient resolution while ensuring thorough preparation and negotiation to safeguard our client's interests. Our approach balances speed with meticulous attention to each case's details, aiming for prompt yet satisfactory outcomes.

What Compensation Can I Expect from a Personal Injury Claim in Chicago?

Compensation in personal injury claims typically covers medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages might also be available, particularly if the defendant's actions were particularly reckless. Our attorneys work diligently to evaluate all potential damages thoroughly to ensure that our clients receive a settlement or verdict that reflects the full extent of their losses. We leverage our extensive trial experience and negotiation skills to advocate for just compensation effectively. Trust MDR LAW LLC to manage your case with the care and professionalism it deserves.
