Does this sound familiar? You're driving your car through an intersection on a green light and another driver fails to stop at the red light and crashes into your car. In spite of the fact that you are injured or even semi-conscious, the other driver gets out and begins to accuse you of running the red light. The police arrive, take statements, interview you and the other driver. The police issue tickets to both of you. You are then taken to the hospital in an ambulance, where your treated and released or admitted. A few weeks later you receive a letter or telephone call from someone from the other driver's insurance company claiming that you don't need a lawyer and they want to help you "get what you deserve."

I have heard this account untold times in my office. Unfortunately, it is usually followed with a statement by the injured party that they have already accepted a minimal payment and have signed a release. At that point, it's too late. If you have not already done so, do not sign anything until you have talked to Seno and Associates!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is there anything I can do to help my case before I talk to an Illinois personal injury attorney?
Document everything. Keep track of hospital bills and any losses suffered as a result of the accident. Write down details about the accident and any information acquired from people who were involved in the accident or witnesses to the accident. If there are witnesses who might be able to help you prove your claim, then it is important to have their information to contact them.

When should I call a lawyer after I have been injured?
That depends on what happened to you, but before you speak to an attorney, if you are injured or not feeling well you should seek medical attention. No matter how big or how small a case may be, there is nothing more important that your health. A delay in treatment could cause your situation to get worse. After you have sought medical attention is then the time to find a personal injury lawyer in Illinois.

Can I recover any money if I partly caused my injury?
Usually you can recover some type of compensation, depending the degree of fault between the parties. An experienced Illinois personal injury attorney can help you determine whether or not you have a viable case.

How much can I recover for a personal injury claim in Illinois?
This depends on the circumstances of the injury. A good personal injury attorney can assess your unique situation to provide more insight into that question. Often that question can not be answered right away. Despite what you may hear from others, it is not easy to get a large recovery and these cases are often complex and can take a long time. This is why it is very important to work with an experienced Illinois personal injury attorney who knows how to handle your type of case.

How does my Illinois attorney and the insurance company or jury determine what I will recover?
Many things are taken into consideration: medical expenses, lost wages, cause of the accident, inability to work, emotional damages, disabilities or disfigurements and damaged property. For a more detailed explanation, please contact us so we can assess your specific situation.

What is the time limit in Illinois on filing a lawsuit for a personal injury claim?
There is a limited time from the date of the accident that you can sue to recover damages, depending on the type of claim that you want to pursue and the defendant. That is called a statute of limitations. In most instances, the time limit against municipalities or other Illinois government entities is shorter than it would be against a private individual or company. In addition, some time limits can be extended based on a discovery date and others are very strict. Bottom line is that if you want to even consider a personal injury case of any kind it is a good idea to speak with an Illinois lawyer as any delay could bar your case forever. Ignorance of a time limit to file is not a valid excuse in Illinois no matter how strong your case may be.

What are general damages and economic damages in Illinois personal injury lawsuits?
In an Illinois personal injury case, economic damages refer to monetary losses, which can include for example, lost wages and medical bills. General damages are non-monetary damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress and inability to perform your marital duties.
