Your Calhoun County, IL, Injury Attorneys

There are countless ways you can be injured. At work, on the road, riding a bike, slipping down a flight of stairs, and any number of other situations that can cause you harm. The key to winning a personal injury case is proving negligence. There are a couple ways to do this. Here, Drummond Law lists the basic elements of proving negligence:

  1. Reasonable Duty of Care: People have a moral “duty of care” in everyday interactions. Proving there’s a duty of care is the first step in proving negligence after an incident. For example, it is a business owner’s “duty” to protect their customers from harm, like fixing faulty wiring or a loose handrail.
  2. Breach: Another step for proving negligence is showing how the negligent party “breached” their duty of care. A good example is a driver fails to stop at a stop sign and hits a car or truck. The driver knew they were supposed to stop, but breached their duty of care by not stopping.
  3. Causation: Causation is simply what caused the breach, like a driver knowing they’re going too fast. This is the negligent act that breaches the duty of care.
  4. Damages: Finally, there must be financial damages. Financial harm might include rehabilitation, lost wages, and other expenses we will discuss later.

Your Injury Claim Attorneys in Calhoun County, IL | FAQs

There’s likely a lot you don’t know about personal injury cases in Calhoun County. Here are a handful of questions many of our injury clients ask. You can also view our other areas of this website to learn more. To learn more about the claims process, contact our firm today.

  • Will my claim go to court? Probably not. Roughly 5 percent of personal injury claims make it to trial. This is due to the fact that at-fault parties like a business or negligent driver don’t want the claim to go public. It’s usually beneficial to all involved parties to settle out of court, though our Calhoun County claims attorneys have trial experience and can and will go to trial on behalf of our clients if the case is worth more than an initial settlement offer.
  • How much is my case worth? Compensation depends on a variety of factors. Reimbursement is determined by looking at medical expenses, punitive damages, if there was a death, and other financial hardships. Investigate cases similar to yours for a rough estimate or ask your injury lawyer.
  • What types of cases do you take? Our firm specializes in many different areas of injury and employment law.
