Can I settle my personal injury case without an attorney?

The short answer to the question, “Can I settle my Illinois personal injury case without an attorney?” is “Yes, but…” There is no law that requires you to hire an attorney for a personal injury case. However, the real question should be; “Why should I hire a Chicago personal injury attorney to handle my Illinois personal injury case?”The Benefits of Hiring a Chicago Personal Injury Attorney Among the benefits of hiring a Chicago personal injury attorney to handle your case are: 

  • Ÿ Years of legal training;
  • Ÿ Readily available legal resources to assist in your case;
  • Ÿ Experience at practicing personal injury law in Illinois;
  • Ÿ Experience at dealing with insurance companies; and
  • Ÿ An understanding of the local court system.  

The bottom line is that a reputable Chicago personal injury attorney will not accept your case if the attorney thinks that you won’t be able to get more damages than what the insurance companies involved are already offering. Remember that insurance companies want to settle for as little as possible, which could feasibly leave you with a settlement that doesn’t adequately address all of your accident-related expenses, such as ongoing medical costs and lost wages.Why should I hire a Chicago personal injury attorney? If your accident occurred in the Chicago area, you want an injury attorney that knows Illinois personal injury law inside and out. Your case will also benefit from the experience of someone who knows the local traffic concerns, court system and judges.Talking to insurance adjusters, filing paperwork and investigating tort law is exhausting and, understandably, often overwhelming for those without a legal background. As your attorney takes the reins of your case, you are able to take a step back and refocus your energies on your recovery or helping your loved ones to heal after an accident.When to Hire a Chicago Personal Injury LawyerYou should contact a lawyer as soon as you are able. Your best chance at getting the damages that you deserve is to have an experienced Chicago personal injury lawyer on your side.The Law Offices of Barry G.
