Your Macon County, IL, Injury Lawyers

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’s a few ways to do this. Below, we list the basic elements of proving negligence:

  1. Reasonable Duty of Care: We as a society have a moral “duty of care” in everyday interactions. Proving that there is a duty of care is the main step in proving negligence after an incident. For instance, it’s a business owner’s “duty” to protect his or her customers from harm, such as fixing protruding nails or a dangerous stairway.
  2. Breach: The next step for proving negligence is showing how a person or entity “breached” their duty of care. A good example is a driver blows through a stop sign and hits another car. 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 landlord not salting a metal fire escape. This is the negligent act that breaches any expected duty of care.
  4. Damages: Lastly, there has to be financial repercussions. Financial harm might include lost wages, medical bills, and other expenses we’ll discuss further down the page.

Your Injury Claim Lawyers in Macon County, IL | FAQs

There’s probably a lot you don’t understand about personal injury claims in Macon 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 now.

  • Will my claim go to court? The odds say no. Only about five percent of personal injury claims ever make it to trial. This is due to the fact that at-fault parties like a negligent driver or an insurer don’t want the claim to go public. It’s usually beneficial to both parties to settle out of court, though our Macon 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 compensation can I get? Compensation depends on a number of factors. Reimbursement is determined by looking at pain and suffering, wrongful deaths (if any), medical expenses, and other financial hardships. Look for similar case results for a rough estimate or ask your injury lawyer.
  • What kinds of cases do you take? Our firm specializes in several different areas of injury and employment law. If you’ve been hurt and there are financial ramifications, you might have a case.
