Even the Most Careful Drivers Can Be Victims of Somebody’s Negligence

No matter how careful of a driver that you might be, if you live anywhere in or around Winnebago County, the odds are that you’ll be in a car accident during your lifetime. The simple fact that you were in an accident doesn’t mean that it was your fault, though. If the accident was the result of the carelessness and negligence of somebody else, and you were injured, Illinois law allows you to seek compensation for the damages that you suffered. You’ll want to speak with an experienced and effective auto accident lawyer in Rockford. Here are some of the more common serious injuries that our law firm has seen:

  • Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries
  • Injuries to vital organs
  • Structural injuries to the spine
  • Multiple fractures
  • Joint injuries and dislocations
  • Soft tissue injuries

How the Opposing Insurer Does Business

Always remember that insurance companies are in business to make money. The deposit premium checks into their bank accounts, and they invest those funds in order to make even more money. When you have a valid claim, they’ll try to get rid of you as quickly and cheaply as possible. If you want to get the compensation that you deserve, you’ll be in for a fight.

Pay Attention to What You Say and Do

After a car accident, no insurance company is ever on your side, even if it’s your own insurer. It’s strongly recommended that you don’t sign any authorizations or give any statements. The insurer only intends on using information obtained from those against you. Rather than doing that, contact an auto accident lawyer in Rockford from our offices, and you can arrange for a free consultation and case review.

We want to know how your accident occurred, and we’ll be pleased to answer your questions too. After that, we can chart out our recommendations for you. By doing that, you’ll be able to make educated decisions on your claim or lawsuit. You can contact The American Law Firm to arrange for that free consultation by calling 814-394-1776, or just use our easy contact form online. Make that contact as soon as possible.
