After filing a personal injury claim, you may want to know – “can my lawyer settle my case without me?” Your lawyer cannot settle your case without your permission. This is because it would breach his or her ethical and fiduciary responsibilities. Ultimately, as the client, you have the final say on whether to settle or go to trial. Your lawyer's role is to present you with all options, offer legal counsel, and make recommendations, but the decision rests with you.
Personal injury lawyers usually work on a contingency basis. With this type of arrangement, you don’t pay a retainer fee upfront. Instead, you pay the lawyer a percentage of the settlement awarded to you if your case is successful. If your lawyer doesn't recover compensation on your behalf, you won't pay any lawyer fees.
Do personal injury cases go to trial? If you are unable to reach a settlement agreement with the at fault party, your personal injury case may go to trial. Personal injury cases usually involve either a formal lawsuit or an informal settlement. In the former, the plaintiff files a lawsuit against the other party for compensation.
If you were injured in a trucking accident in Chicago, Berwyn, Oak Lawn, Cicero, or a nearby community, call the injury attorneys at Lloyd Miller Law for a free consultation.

New Study Shows Why Personal Injury Lawyers Are So Smart

Posted By:

Ok, maybe the study doesn’t single out personal injury lawyers as the only smart lawyers. However, the South Chicago Personal Injury lawyers at Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) want to crow about this study anyways.

According to neuroscientists at the University of California at Berkeley intensive study for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) reinforces circuits in the brain and can bridge the gap between the right and left hemisphere. Those changes can improve reasoning ability and may increase a person’s IQ score.

The research team performed brain scans on 24 college students and recent graduates, bothe before and after they spent 100 hours studying for the LSAT over a three-month period. The researchers also scanned 23 young adults who didn’t study for the test. For those who studied, the results showed increased connectivity between the frontal lobes of the brain, as well as between frontal and parietal lobes, which are parts of the brain associated with reasoning and thinking.

Apparently, in simple English, this connection allows the lawyers to tackle novel problems with fluid and flexible reasoning abilities.

So when an accident or serious personal injury causes you serious problems please take advantage of Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law)’s 30 years of personal injury law experience to help you solve your problems and obtain just and full compensation for your injuries
