A personal injury claim or lawsuit may come about when one individual or group of people causes injury to another through negligence or intentional harm (abuse). The crux of a personal injury case boils down to a few key factors:
- Who was injured, and how?
- What is the extent of the injuries, and what is the injured person's long-term prognosis?
- Who caused the injury, and how?
- What costs or losses does the injured party face?
- What does proper compensation consist of?
Lawyer Joseph Klest has helped countless Illinois residents and visitors file successful claims and lawsuits involving all types of accidents and injuries:
- Motor vehicle accidents such as car and truck accidents
- Motorcycle crashes and bicycle accidents
- Aviation and boating accidents
- Accidents involving drunk drivers and uninsured motorists
- Pedestrian and crosswalk accidents
- Injuries to children and teenagers, babies and the elderly, workers and homemakers
- Brain and spinal injuries
- Amputations and burn injuries
- Dog bites and workplace accidents
- Sexual assault and cyberbullying
- Nursing home injuries and medical malpractice
- Product liability, including auto defect and defective drug cases
The responsible party may be, for example, a drunk driver, a property owner, an abusive caregiver, a manufacturer that covers up red flags in product safety trials, a subcontractor who leaves hazardous conditions at a construction site or the owner of a vicious dog. The person who is injured may require compensation for medical expenses, lost wage replacement and acknowledgment of pain and suffering.
A detailed investigation of the accident can determine liability. (Whose "fault" was the crash or surgical error?) A thorough evaluation of the losses can put a well-documented dollar amount on an injury claim or lawsuit.
