How Does a Car Accident Lawyer Assist their Client?

healyscanlonveugelergannon • March 6, 2020

Car accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury, damages, and death in America, and yet many lawyers in Illinois and elsewhere treat them as an inconvenience. Many car accident lawyers in Chicago, IL would rather settle car accident cases as quickly as possible, sacrificing justice in the name of quick case closures. But here at Healy Scanlon, we believe in fighting for our clients and taking their cases to court, if necessary.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a car accident that has resulted in damages, injury, or death, then you will need the help of a top car accident attorney team, one that can help you get the justice and compensation that you deserve. But how do car accident lawyers in Chicago, IL help their clients? Here are a few ways.

1. Build Your Case

While many people think that building a case is as easy as providing testimony, there are many different aspects of building a case that will increase your chances of getting justice. The right car accident lawyers in Chicago, IL, will combine your testimony and important evidence with precedent made in other cases. This helps build a case that is more likely to win and more likely to convince the judge that you were the victim and are in need of compensation.

2. Determine Your Compensation

Many car accident cases can get very complicated in a short amount of time. Between proving fault, insurance claims, health issues, and more, figuring out just what constitutes the right compensation and punishment can be complicated. The right car accident lawyers in Chicago, IL can help you not only build your case but also negotiate the right amount to cover your costs and help you work towards a new future. Without the right team behind you, these negotiations can fall apart, and you could end up with much less than you deserve.
