Elements of an Illinois Negligence Case (Part B)

Providing Evidence of Negligence in an Illinois Negligence CaseIn most instances of an Illinois negligence case, the definition of the relationship between you and the defendant is determined by a judge. The court must find that a relationship exists between you and the defendant in which the defendant owes you a duty of care to prevent you from harm.

Proving cause in fact is a bit more difficult in an Illinois negligence case. You may find it best to hire a Chicago personal injury attorney to help you with this process, as their experience with similar cases will enable them to more efficiently investigate and handle your claim. The biggest argument the defense will use against cause in fact is that you should have been aware of the dangers.

Evidence of Injury in an Illinois Negligence Case

In addition to establishing that the defendant had a duty to keep you from harm, a valid Illinois negligence case will show that you sustained injuries as a direct result of the negligence of the defendant. Your medical records, doctor reports, and witness statements will all help substantiate your claim.

For the best structuring of your claim as well as help in proving who was negligent and responsible for your injuries, you may require the help of a Chicago personal injury attorney.

Hiring a Chicago Personal Injury Attorney

Plaintiffs who utilize the expertise and experience of a Chicago personal injury attorney often find their Illinois negligence case goes quicker and results in a larger settlement. Cases handled seriously by an attorney have less chance of being wrongfully denied or under-compensated by insurance companies.
