Vehicle Accident Personal Injury Law Firm Helping with Country Financial Auto Claims for Greater Chicago

Country Financial is a national insurance group headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois, about 135 miles south of Chicago. Like all insurance companies, they suffer from a major conflict of interest with its customers – claim payouts are revenue for you, but expenditures for them. Country Financial’s slogan, “We Show Up for Our Customers” is technically accurate – it’s just that belittling or denying your claim is often what their representatives do after they show up. When this happens, you are going to need professional representation from a  personal injury law firm that has been there before on many, many occasions.

You Only Pay If You Win

Here at Malman Law, we are used to winning personal injury claims – indeed, our success rate is 95 percent for our clients. Because of this, we offer you our Zero Fee Guarantee – you will owe nothing for our services until and unless we win compensation for you. That means that even if you are penniless, you can wait and pay us out of your verdict or settlement.

Verdicts vs. Settlements

A quick and generous settlement is obviously in your best interests, and that is exactly what we will be striving for from the moment we take your case. That is generally what happens, too – since our personal injury attorneys are known and feared by the insurance industry, they settle with us about 95 percent of the time. Of course, some of the more stubborn insurance adjustors take longer to settle, and some cases take longer simply because of their complex fact patterns. About five percent of the time – that’s one client in twenty – an insurance company will force us to slug it out with them in court. And when that happens, we are ready for action.

• “Two years ago, I was involved in a trucking accident involving a 14-wheeler truck that nearly disabled me for life. Steve fought to make sure that I received the most possible compensation for my injuries. I was about to take the insurance company’s lowball offer, but decided to call Steve first – it was the best decision I’ve made yet.” – Malman Law Client

Types of Law We Practice

Vehicle accidents: Most serious road accidents are tragically unnecessary, especially those caused by intoxicated drivers. Fortunately, the Illinois mandatory auto insurance law ensures that in most cases you can be fully compensated for an auto accident caused by someone else. Even if the value of your claim exceeds applicable policy limits, there is often a way to obtain compensation. Nursing home abuse: With over 700 nursing homes in the state of Illinois, including dozens in Chicago alone, a certain amount of nursing home abuse is sadly inevitable. That doesn’t make nursing home abuse any less despicable, however. A good nursing home abuse lawyer will be adept at identifying subtle signs of nursing home abuse. Medical malpractice: Medical malpractice occurs so often that many people would be afraid to go to the doctor if they saw the statistics. Although not every medical error amounts to malpractice, when professional misconduct is proven, you are entitled to full compensation. You are likely to need assistance, however, because doctors and hospitals can be stubborn defendants. Slip and fall accidents: Slip and fall accident disproportionately target the elderly. They are most likely to result in an actionable claim when you are a customer in a public establishment or a guest in someone else’s home. Shop owners and homeowners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe for visitors. Product liability: A product liability claim arises when you are injured by a defective product. Although these claims can be complex in nature, one advantage they offer is that in many cases you don’t have to prove fault to win. Another advantage is that the defendant, usually a product manufacturer, is usually able to afford to pay the claim. Dog bites: Illinois dog owners are responsible for injuries caused by their dogs, even if the dog had never before given its owner reason to believe it had aggressive tendencies. Successful dog bite claims are generally paid out by homeowners or renters insurance policies. Wrongful death: A wrongful death claim arises when the victim of a personal injury caused by someone else dies from the injuries. An Illinois wrongful death lawsuit is filed by close relatives, and payouts can be quite substantial. Damages are based on losses to the victim (pain and suffering, for example) as well as tangible and intangible losses to the relatives.
