How Can Mathys & Schneid Personal Injury Lawyers Help Me?
We have more than 74 years of combined experience, and we are dedicated to our clients, with contact availability 24/7. We can guide you through this complex legal process, ensuring that you don’t overlook anything or make mistakes that can derail your case. A lot of money may hang in the balance – not to mention your health and your lifestyle – and we will assist you every step of the way. Below are just some of the cases we can take:
Workplace Accidents
We can help you seek workers’ compensation if you’ve been injured on the job. The majority of employers have to carry mandatory insurance to cover these costs. We can also help you explore third-party claims.
Medical Malpractice
We can help you seek compensation if a doctor, hospital or other medical provider has injured you or a loved one. We trust that our medical providers will take care of us. However, when something goes wrong and mistakes are made, the consequences can be devastating and often life altering. We can help you recover what you rightfully deserve and make those who made mistakes take responsibility for their actions.
Car Accidents
If you have been injured in a car accident and you were not at fault, you may be able to seek compensation from the party who was. Remember that insurance doesn’t always cover all of the costs you may be facing, such as lost wages, lost earning capacity, medical bills and more.
Truck Accidents
Truck crashes can be complex. You may deserve compensation from both the truck driver and the trucking company, depending on who was responsible. We can help you seek all of the compensation you deserve.
Other Vehicle Accidents
On top of that, we can assist if you’ve been injured in other types of vehicle accidents. These could include motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents. Injuries are often far more severe for cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists, and extensive compensation is necessary.
Premises Liability Cases
There are a wide variety of potential premises liability cases. For instance, a slip-and-fall accident on someone’s sidewalk may qualify, as could injuries suffered in a store. Dog bite injuries also often fall under premises liability laws.
Do I Have A Personal Injury Claim?
Each case is unique, but negligence is often the focal point of the investigation. Even if someone else did not intentionally injure you, if their negligence led to your injuries, then you may deserve compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other costs. Two examples of negligence are when a person walks a dangerous dog without a leash or when they drive while under the influence.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries and many other factors, such as the type of care you need or how long you were out of work. Our experienced team of injury attorneys can help you consider the details and work to maximize your claim.
How Long Do I Have To File A Personal Injury Claim In Illinois?
Illinois has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases that is set at two years. Do not delay starting your valid case, as missing the deadline could make filing impossible. The two years start on the date of the injury or whenever you discover that injury, if at a later date.
