When should I contact the police after a car accident? In Illinois, you must report a crash to the police if there are injuries, fatalities, or property damage exceeding $1,500. It's advisable to contact the police immediately after any accident. A police report is crucial for documenting the accident details, including witness statements and observations, and it serves as essential evidence for filing insurance claims. Calling law enforcement after a wreck is essential to ensure a clear record. 
The car accident case timeline can vary based on the complexity and size of your claim. Generally, car accident claims are resolved within a few weeks to a few months, although some cases may take years. While the personal injury claim process can be lengthy, pursuing a lawsuit is often the most effective way to seek maximum compensation for unpaid medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Familiarizing yourself with the stages involved in resolving a car accident claim can help you prepare for what lies ahead. 
What percentage of car accident cases go to trial? Most cases are resolved outside of court, with only a small percentage going to trial. Many cases settle after initiating a lawsuit, during the litigation phase. Retaining an experienced personal injury lawyer who knows how long an accident case takes can often reduce the likelihood of going to trial. They can effectively demonstrate the case's value throughout the legal process, encouraging insurance companies to settle.

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
