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 case – the severity of injuries, past and future costs, and the overall impact on your life.
Findings from the 2017 personal injury study conducted by Martindale-Nolo research state that having a car accident attorney made a significant difference in getting a payout.
Of those who hired a lawyer, 91 percent received a payout. And only 51 percent of those who didn’t hire a lawyer got a payout.
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 your Waukegan accident attorney is always focused on maximizing your claim, so you can recover everything you’re entitled to.
Lawyers rarely settle for the insurer’s first offer. Your Waukegan car accident lawyer will review the facts of your case to determine the appropriate ballpark for fair compensation. If the first offer is insufficient, your accident lawyer will participate in negotiations to reach a fair and equitable solution.
Filing a lawsuit in the Lake County Circuit Court or threatening to file a lawsuit can get you results. Having an accident attorney by your side means they can use this tactic to show the insurer they mean business and help you claim a higher settlement amount.
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.
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.
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.
At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C., we have handled all types of car accidents, including rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, T-bone accidents. We can help with your distracted driving accident or drowsy driving incident. If you were the victim of a drunk driving accident, we will work with the police to hold the other driver accountable.
At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C., our Waukegan car accident lawyers have handled car accident injury claims arising from all types of accidents. Through our years of experience, we have found some of the most common causes of car accidents include speeding, reckless driving, aggressive driving, and road rage.
Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. has handled claims involving all types of injuries, including broken bones, sprains and strains, soft tissue injuries, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). You may think if you have a simple whiplash you can recover on your own, but you should seek medical treatment for any injury. We can also help you with emotional stress, like PTSD after an accident.
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 Waukegan, Illinois, 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.
To receive compensation for your injuries, you have to prove that the other driver was negligent.
Your Waukegan car accident lawyer will investigate the crash to gather evidence, including obtaining the police report, photos and videos, gathering witness statements, and hiring experts when needed.
| Next Step: Get Your Car Repaired or ReplacedWe know that one of your top priorities after an accident is getting your vehicle repaired or replaced. We’ll help you make this happen.
And while you’re waiting, we’ll help you rent a car. If you have rental car coverage under your own insurance, you won’t have problems renting.
But if you don’t, we’ll fight to have you compensated for this expense in your settlement.
| Next Step: Dealing with InsuranceThe 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 OfferAfter the investigation conducted by the insurance company — and while we conduct our own — it will either deny your insurance claim or approve it and make a settlement offer. If the claim is denied, you should receive a written explanation. We’ll then 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: NegotiationsOnce your lawyer has thoroughly investigated the accident and gained a comprehensive understanding of your injuries, then they can make a demand for full and fair compensation from the insurer.
This is often a counter to an insurer’s first offer- which is typically low. With an experienced attorney by your side, you’ll have someone who will fight for the compensation you deserve.
| Next Step: Settle or TrialWhen we represent you after a car accident, we will help you recover appropriate compensation.
If negotiations break down, we’ll represent you at trial. We’ll take your claim before a jury, and seek to get them to understand your side.
If the jury decides in your favor, it will also decide how much compensation you receive.
| Next Step: Crash InvestigationYou should seek medical care right after the accident. Don’t be daunted by how much it will cost you. We will pursue the compensation you deserve for all of your medical bills.

If you were taken in an ambulance, you probably didn’t have a chance to talk with the police. You would still need to provide a statement to complete the accident report. If officers show up in your hospital room and ask for your statement, but don’t hesitate to ask for more time. You have the right to speak with an attorney before you provide any statement. Contact the Waukegan Police Department for more information. You can also file a report online here.
