2 Parts of Your Injury Case
Illinois law requires you to prove 2 things if you are injured.
This includes injuries from a car or truck crash, or falls on someone’s property.
The first thing you must prove is that the party who injured you is negligent.
Negligence means that someone has a duty towards you that is broken or not met.
For instance, other drivers have a duty to obey traffic signals, signs, and to travel at a safe speed.
The second part of your injury case is to prove damages.
Damages are medical treatment such as medications, injections and surgery.
It also includes permanent limitations such as reduced ability to lift or reduced range of motion.
Loss of salary or income is also part of damages.

Injured? What Not to Do
If you are injured in a motor vehicle collision please avoid these common mistakes.
Do not give a statement to the Insurance Company adjuster. This can and will be used against you at the time of settlement or trial.
Do not settle too soon. Insurance companies are interested in limiting its losses. You must make sure you receive all the medical treatment necessary to get you back on your feet.
Do not delay in seeking medical treatment. The longer you wait the worse your injuries will become and the lower your settlement will be.
