Any car accident victim can tell you that it is a pain dealing with insurance companies. The insurance company always aims to pay out as little as possible on your claim.
However, by knowing what to do and what not to do, you increase your chances of receiving full compensation for your injuries. If you have been involved in a car accident and need a legal advocate, contact a Chicago car accident lawyer at Malman Law today.
Illinois is an “at-fault” state, meaning that the person who is at fault for the accident must compensate the other injured party for damages. You can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the collision.
However, it is up to an insurance evaluator, and sometimes eventually a judge, to determine each driver’s percentage of fault. Determining liability is complicated, and an insurance evaluator, or judge, is experienced in reviewing the facts and better assessing the situation.
According to Illinois law, drivers are required to have the following minimum coverage:
Often, insurance limits are not enough to cover someone’s injuries or the damage sustained to their vehicle. It is important to consult an attorney in any car crash which results in injury or property damage.
Insurance companies are always looking out for themselves. But who is looking out for you? If you have been injured in a car accident, contact Malman Law. Schedule your free, no-obligation consultation as soon as possible. Discover what experience and commitment can do for you.
