What should I do after a serious injury in Peoria, IL?

What you do after a serious injury can impact the compensation you receive. The things you do can also make the claim process easier. But it can be hard to know what to do. Here are some important steps to take after a serious injury.

Protect your immediate safety

When an injury occurs, the emergency may be ongoing. Protect yourself and others from additional harm. First responders can advise you of how to help the injured until someone with more advanced training can take over.

Prioritize medical care

Your medical care is the most important. It can stabilize injuries and prevent additional harm. In addition, medical attention starts to document injuries and their relation to the accident.

Preserve evidence

Take photographs of injuries and the accident scene. Identify witnesses. Get witness contact information. Getting a lawyer quickly can help you preserve critical evidence.

Document everything

Start to document the ways that your life has been impacted by the accident. For example, track your medical care, healthcare bills and out-of-pocket expenses. Keep records of lost income and the cost of hired help that you need because of injuries. If you need to hire rides to medical appointments, keep track of dates and costs. Save any information related to the accident as you start to build your case. Your attorney can guide you through creating a diary of your treatment and recovery.

Take notes

Small details can be important to a personal injury claim. Make notes of what you remember, as soon as you are able. Write things down, and don’t assume that you’ll remember later. Your lawyer can follow up on important details as they build your claim.

Learn about the law

A compensation claim depends on what laws apply to the case. There may be unique laws that are relevant to your situation. A lawyer can explain how the law applies in your circumstances and how to maximize your case value.

How long do you have to file a lawsuit in Peoria, Illinois

There are time limits for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Peoria, Illinois. For most personal injury and car accident claims, you have two years from the day you got hurt. If the defendant is the government, the timeline is shortened to one year, with a notice requirement.

An additional exception exists for minors. You may have longer to file if you were mentally incompetent or unable to communicate.

The time limit is the deadline to start the case. It’s not a time limit for how long the case might take. Once a case begins, the court creates timelines for the case process. The exact time a case might take depends on how complex it is and court scheduling.

Filing with the insurance company doesn’t count as starting the case. To meet the deadline, you must submit a summons and complaint to the court with jurisdiction.

Can personal injury cases settle out of court in Peoria, Illinois?

When we talk to people about their personal injury cases, they’re often worried about trial. They imagine stressful days on the witness stand. But personal injury cases can settle out of court in Peoria, Illinois. In fact, most cases do.

When you choose Parker & Parker, we diligently build your case. We use the legal process to narrow issues in dispute and fully discover what your case is worth. This helps us negotiate a settlement that reflects your case value.

Sometimes, cases are settled directly with the insurance company. Cases can also be settled after they’re filed in court but before trial.

You have the right to a trial. If you choose to go to trial, we’ll prepare with you. You’ll know exactly what to expect, and we’ll advocate on your behalf.
