Compensation

Compensation in Car Accidents in Joliet, IL

Usually, when people are hurt in car accidents, their primary concerns revolve around health care costs. Remember, you have rights and options. By filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit, you can hold the appropriate people accountable and be made financially whole again.

Yes, it can get complicated. But we’ve been doing this for some time and recognize hidden losses as well as the obvious ones. The exact amount of possible compensation will largely depend on your individual injury case – the severity of injuries, past and future costs, and the overall impact on your life.

We pursue fair compensation for:

Why you need a lawyer

Why Do You Need a Lawyer After a Joliet Car Accident?

When people are injured in car accidents, they wonder if chasing compensation is worth the trouble. After all: “What can a lawyer really do?” and “Won’t the insurance company just pony up as they should?”

No, you’re not legally required to hire a lawyer after a car accident, but it sure makes the legal process easier and increases the likelihood you’ll be offered an adequate settlement.

Your attorney will…

Get you more money

It can be tempting to accept the insurance company’s first offer, but it’s rarely a good idea. These low-ball offers are designed to make your claim go away for the lowest payout possible. But our car accident attorneys are always focused on maximizing your claim, so you can recover everything you’re entitled to.

Handle the insurance company

Lawyers rarely settle for the insurer’s first offer. Your Joliet car accident lawyer will thoroughly go over the facts of your case in order to come up with a ballpark for fair compensation. If the first offer is unreasonable, your accident attorney will negotiate with the insurer to reach a fair and equitable solution.

File a lawsuit

Insurers avoid going to trial because it saves them time and money to settle out of court. But if you don’t threaten to sue in the Will County Circuit Court, the insurer will be far less inclined to settle. You may not be comfortable filing for yourself or threatening an insurance adjuster with legal action. We are your allies and we have got you covered.

Types of Accidents

Motor Vehicle Accidents

At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, we can help you with virtually any personal injury situation, but we have particularly broad experience with motor vehicle accidents.

Whether involving 2, 4, 6 or 18 wheels, we’ll always be there for you with legal representation when you need us.

 

Car Accidents in Joliet

Car accident cases require a lot of evidence gathering. Police reports, debris fields, and eyewitness accounts require a special set of investigative skills that we’ve honed for over 20 years. We know all the insurance companies. And they know we mean business. We know you’re hurting. When you call, you’ll always speak with a Staver attorney, not an assistant.

 

Accidents Involving Commercial Trucks in Joliet

If you were in a car accident that involves a commercial truck, know that they are handled very differently. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. For example, commercial trucks are required by federal law to carry a substantial amount of insurance, which can be helpful during your claim. Data can also be collected from the electronic control modules (the black box), right away.

Car Accident Details

Types of Accidents in Joliet, IL

Even for the safest and most careful of drivers, accidents can still happen. Our accident attorneys in Joliet can help with rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, T-bone accidents, and more. We will also work with the police to address hit and run accidents and drunk driving accidents.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Joliet

Car crashes are always unexpected, unpredictable, and can be caused by a number of reasons, including speeding, work zones, parked vehicles, fixed objects, dangerous weather, and sideswipes. We will discover the cause of your accident and use it to build evidence to support your case.

Types of Serious Injuries After an Accident in Joliet

We have helped clients who suffered all types of injuries in car accidents, including brain injuries, broken bones, neck and back injuries, spinal injuries, burn injuries, and more. You may think you don’t need medical treatment for a whiplash or other minor injury, but you should always see a doctor after a crash. We can also help with mental and emotional trauma, such as PTSD.

Our Process

Our Unique Approach to the Claims Process

 

We are bold, relentless, and passionate in how we carry out our claims process. As a result, you can be more confident in the potential outcome.

After an auto accident in Joliet, you’ll need to take a number of critical steps. We’ll guide you through the process so you’ll stay up to speed the whole way.

Crash Investigation

While the minutes, hours, and days following an accident are daunting, you have to gather evidence that will help your case. This includes taking photos and videos of the scene, along with any written notes and observations.

| Next Step: Get Your Car Repaired or Replaced

Get your car repaired or replaced

We know that you and your family heavily rely on your vehicle. That’s why we’ll do everything we can to help you get your car repaired or replaced as soon as possible. If you need a vehicle in the meantime, we’ll help arrange for a rental.

| Next Step: Dealing with Insurance

We’ll Deal with Insurance Companies on Your Behalf

The claim process means plowing through a pile of paperwork, mail, and answering dozens of phone calls. An experienced accident lawyer will handle the whole process, from start to finish. And their involvement will greatly improve your chance of a win.

We do this type of work every day and can pre-empt any potential problems. We’ll communicate with the insurer, and make sure the insurer gets all of the information it needs without having to surrender your privacy.

| Next Step: Settlement Offer

Claim denial or settlement offer

An insurance company will most likely deny your insurance claim or approve it and make a settlement offer. If the claim is denied, they’ll send you a point-by-point explanation in writing. We’ll review and discuss appealing the denial, or pursuing your compensation in court. If you receive a settlement offer, we’ll analyze the specifics and make a counter-demand.

| Next Step: Negotiations

Participate in negotiations

As soon as you can after your crash, call your insurer and let them know what happened. Most likely, they will carry out their own investigation, often sending an agent directly to the scene. Never agree to their first offer. It’s likely to be lower than what you need to compensate for damages and you could do better. Our auto accident attorneys will be able to negotiate and use the evidence gained to fight for the compensation you deserve.

| Next Step: Settle or Trial

Settle the case or go to trial

Sometimes a fair settlement with the insurance companies can’t be reached. If this happens, we’ll prep your case for trial and guide you through every step of the way. Only a small percentage of personal injury cases have to go to trial, but if yours does, you’ll need a car accident lawyer on your side to fight for you.

| Next Step: Crash Investigation
