Auto Accidents

Should I hire a Chicago Car Accident Lawyer?

Unfortunately, motor vehicle accidents remain a serious public safety problem in Chicago and throughout the state of Illinois. According to the most recent data provided by the Illinois Department Of Transportation, in 2019 there were 312,988 crashes involving motor vehicles in Illinois. Injury crashes accounted for 20.4% of these crashes totaling 63,834 accidents with injuries! 

Studies show that auto accident victims recover more in damages when represented by an attorney than when they attempt to deal with an auto insurance company on their own. Insurance companies have years of experience minimizing payouts; these companies’ insurance adjusters are skilled at negotiating settlements to reduce what they pay you, even to the point of denying a valid claim. Without negotiating experience, it’s hard to represent your best interests against these insurance companies, making it real hard to get the full value of your claim or the money you deserve.

Compensation Available for Injured Victims

Auto accident victims are entitled to seek compensation for the full extent of their losses. However, sadly, fair compensation can often be difficult to obtain. The big insurance companies have spent decades crafting tactics and strategies that they use to reduce your settlement offer. Our Chicago car accident lawyers will help you fight back. We can help you seek recovery for:

• Diminished value to your vehicle;
• All medical expenses, including those related to rehabilitation;
• Lost income, including diminished long-term earn capacity;
• Pain and suffering and mental anguish; and
• Serious physical damage, such as disfigurement or loss of limb.

What You Need to Know About the Insurance Company

Most accidents are caused by human error. Indeed, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), somewhere between 90 and 95 percent of all car accidents occur because of (avoidable) driver mistakes. If a driver’s negligence caused your accident, then you will need to seek compensation from their insurance company.

Even though insurers have a legal duty to settle valid claims in a fair and honest manner, recovering a full settlement offer is extremely challenging. All car accident victims need to remember the following principle: The insurance company is not on your side. They are the opposing party in your case. As such, you cannot rely on insurance adjusters to help guide you through the claims process. They will be looking for ways to limit your financial recovery. The Loop Law Group will handle negotiating with the insurance company and their adjusters for you.
