How to choose a lawyer in Clarendon Hills

Start by looking for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than treating it as a side practice. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers negotiate differently when they know a case can go to court. Find out whether the attorney knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays costs, and confirm who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Clarendon Hills

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer until you have advice. Keep records of treatment, bills, and any time missed from work. Acting promptly matters in Illinois, where the filing deadline is 2 years from the date of injury. If you are unsure what to do next, our directory can connect you with a local attorney who can explain your options.
