Man holding head in despair after car collision. if the at-fault driver's insurance doesn't cover your injuries
Your options if the at-fault driver’s insurance does not cover your injuries in Chicago, IL, include relying on your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy, suing the driver directly, or covering your medical bills with your health insurance. An attorney can examine your case, discuss available options for compensation, and compile strong evidence to prove the full scope of your damages. Working with an attorney protects you from spending your money to pay for expenses arising from another party’s negligence, even when insurance coverage is limited.
An insurance claim form surrounded by financial documents, a calculator, a pen, and eyeglasses. Ask for More After an Insurance Settlement Offer
You can ask for more after an insurance settlement offer in Chicago, IL, because the first offer marks the beginning of the negotiation process. The initial offer is often low, and insurance companies hope that you will accept it so that they can close the claim quickly at a minimal cost. You have the right to counter a lowball offer by asking for a higher amount. Accepting a settlement too quickly bars you from pursuing additional compensation in the future. That means you will have to cover any additional costs arising from your injury out of pocket. The best practice is to talk to a lawyer before accepting a settlement, especially if you receive the offer immediately after the accident/incident.

Injured in a Car Accident: Don’t Be Fooled by Adrenaline–Get Help Fast!

Posted By:

The Chicago Car Accident Lawyers at the Lloyd Miller Law warn that if you suffer a personal injury in a Car Accident, Bicycle Accident, Truck Accident, or a bad fall or work injury, don’t be brave and risk further injury just because you think you are ok. People who get in accidents are immediately filled with adrenaline, your body’s defense to pain and danger. Adrenaline can cause a feeling of euphoria which will mask serious injuries and enables us to fight or flee from a dangerous situation. This may cause an accident victim to assume that they aren’t really injured. Later, when the adrenaline wears off, victims will notice the pain and it can be very severe. The Chicago car accident lawyers at the Lloyd Miller Law have handled hundreds of car accident, truck accident, bicycle accident and pedestrian accident claims. Some of the most serious and preventable injuries occur when the victim thinks they are fine and refuses medical attention. This is not only detrimental to their physical recovery, but also can impede their ability to obtain full compensation in their claim for damages. South Chicago is full of industry and business’ and therefore a hot spot for potential motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians.  Personal injury resulting from any accident should never be ignored, and victims should obtain medical attention as soon as possible. The Lloyd Miller Law wants to litigate for the best financial and medical settlement available for your injuries, and that means being safe and smart by getting medical treatment immediately. Leave the treatment of the personal injury to the doctor and the advocacy of your settlement to the Lloyd Miller Law
