After suffering serious injuries as a result of the carelessness and negligence of somebody else in or around Winnebago County, the aftermath can be intimidating. There are physical, emotional and financial recoveries that must be made, but both the insurance and legal systems are complex and confusing. That’s when you need to place your matter in the hands of an experienced and effective team of personal injury attorneys in Rockford that you can trust to represent you compassionately, professionally and effectively.
Types of Accidents in Which We Represent Clients
The law of personal injury isn’t limited to only auto accidents. There are other types of accidents in which personal injury attorneys in Rockford represent clients. Here are some examples of a few of them:

The Request for a Statement
No matter what an insurance company’s representative says, Illinois law doesn’t require you to give any type of a statement about your accident or injuries. Politely refuse to give one without an attorney being present on your behalf.
Preparation of Your Case
A quality personal injury attorney is going to put your best interests first. No stone should be left unturned in an investigation that determines the cause of a client’s injuries. When your file is complete, efforts should be made at negotiating a settlement out of court. Nearly all cases eventually do settle. When the opposing insurer is unreasonable, a personal injury attorney should be fully and aggressively prepared to have a judge and jury hear your case.
