Chicago is a bustling city with the 3rd largest population in the country.
High population density, fluctuating and extreme temperatures, busy roadways, popular public transportation systems, and an active community are all factors that make personal injuries in the city an unfortunate likelihood.

Personal injury attorneys handle an extremely broad range of cases, but most personal injury lawyers focus primarily on one area.
When it comes to personal injury law, some areas are more popular than others.
Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute defines personal injury as:
“…every variety of injury to a person’s body, emotions, or reputation, as contradistinguished from injury to property rights.
There are three grounds on which personal injury claims can be brought:
Personal injury law encompasses many different types of situations.
There is an infinite list of personal injuries suffered at the fault of another party.
The three (3) most common categories of personal injury cases include:
There are countless injuries that can be, and have been, caused by the negligence of another party.
Three (3) examples of accidents that occur due to the Negligence of Another Party are:
A car accident is one of the most common cases handled by personal injury lawyers.
If someone causes your injuries while negligently operating their vehicle, they may be held responsible for your losses.
Common factors that might lead to a negligent act in the context of an auto accident include:
Truck accidents are similar to car accidents, but they usually lead to more serious injuries.
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, it’s important to know that you may be entitled to more compensation than if you’d been involved in a standard car accident.
A truck accident can cause injuries to the occupants of multiple vehicles, as well as pedestrians.
Bicycle accidents are less common, but they also cause significant injuries.
If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, an experienced personal injury attorney from TorHoerman Law can help you seek compensation from the negligent party.
It’s important to note that, if the negligent party was acting reasonably and following all rules of the road, they may not be held liable for your injuries.
There are also premises liability accidents.
The following are four (4) examples of Premises Liability Accidents:
Slip and fall accidents usually occur on private property, such as a local store or restaurant.
If you suffer an injury because of a hazardous condition within the property, you may be able to file suit against the negligent party!
Workplace injuries refer to accidents that happen while a person is on the job.
If an employee suffers an injury as a result of his/her employer’s negligence, they may be entitled to compensation.
If you suffer a workplace accident and need to file an injury claim, it is best to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible!
Accidents that happen in the home may also lead to personal injury claims.
Slip and falls are just one example of the many accidents that can occur while you’re at home.
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, or another at-home accident, contact a Chicago injury attorney today to discuss your case!
Construction accidents are another common type of case that personal injury attorneys handle.
General contractors, subcontractors and property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe work conditions.
When a property owner fails to maintain a safe workplace, a construction accident may occur.
Some personal injuries are the result of intentional actions, called intentional torts.
The following are three (3) examples of Intentional Torts:
These are just a few of the many types of accidents and injuries that constitute personal injuries.
As Chicago personal injury lawyers, we litigate a wide range of personal injury cases.

If you or a loved one suffered injuries or losses due to another party’s actions, you should consider hiring a Chicago personal injury lawyer to help you recover those damages through legal action.
Well, for starters, it does not cost you anything unless we win!
Assuming we win, attorney fees vary depending on the type of case and how much work your attorney needs to do for your case.
Some cases are settled with only one or two court appearances in which minimal work is done.
These types of cases are relatively inexpensive, usually in the range of a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
On the other hand, some cases are more complicated and require extensive preparation.
These types of cases can be much more expensive and may cost in the range of several thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars.
The good news is that if your case does not settle or go to trial, you will not be responsible for paying any of the fees associated with your case!
There are many factors that play into when you will have to pay taxes on your settlement.
If the funds are placed in a special type of account called an ‘S-corp’ this can delay or even eliminate having to pay tax on the money.
In addition, it is important to remember that you are required to report any settlement or judgment that you receive as income.
The best way to minimize the amount of tax money that has to be paid is to have your attorney discuss the tax implications of your settlement with you.

If you fear that you have suffered a soft tissue injury (such as a sprain, contusion, bursitis, strain, or tendonitis) – you should always seek professional medical attention to be examined further.
In most cases, the technology doctors use to check for soft tissue injuries is with an MRI (magnetic resonance imagine) scan.
An MRI scanner uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create high-detailed images of the organs and tissues within a human body.
When you are injured in an accident or by the actions of another person you have rights.
The law entitles you to seek reimbursement for any harm done to your person and/or property.
You have the right to receive medical attention and to be compensated for any expenses arising from your injuries.
You should understand that while the law entitles you to compensation, each case is different and should be evaluated on its own merits.
Four (4) ways that personal injury cases differ are:
When you file a personal injury claim, you are formally asking the court for compensation for your injuries or losses.
Many people refer to this as filing a lawsuit.
You may file a personal injury claim against the person at fault for your accident or injuries, but you can also file a personal injury claim against their insurance company.
The insurance companies are often the ones that pay for your medical expenses and compensation.
The goal of the claim is to collect enough money from insurance companies or other sources to pay for your losses!
The person responsible for causing your injuries is usually required to compensate you for your medical expenses and any physical, emotional, or financial losses.
These may include compensation for:
If the person responsible for your accident does not have enough insurance coverage to pay for all of your losses, the other party’s insurance company may have to compensate you.
If the other party’s insurance company does not pay for all of your losses, you may have to turn to other sources for compensation.
These include the responsible party’s assets or any health insurance coverage they may have.
When you are ready to file your personal injury claim, you can contact an attorney.
You will need to be prepared to provide basic information about the accident that caused your injuries.
Your attorney will be able to answer your questions about the personal injury claim process and help you file your lawsuit.
There are deadlines for filing personal injury claims, so you should not wait to speak with an attorney.

There are several things to consider when looking for the right personal injury attorney.
When finding the right personal injury attorney for your personal injury case, the three (3) most important questions to ask a personal injury lawyer are:
First, you will want to make sure that the lawyer has experience handling your type of case.
Second, it is important to find out if the attorney has any prior results for personal injury cases similar to yours.
This is especially important when dealing with a case involving a serious injury, as you will want to make sure that the attorney can produce favorable results.
Finally, experience and client reviews are important to consider when choosing a personal injury lawyer.

Every personal injury case works differently, but typically the three (3) main phases to filing a claim are:
The first phase, which is called the “settlement” or “demand” phase, involves numerous documents being filed with a court.
This paperwork allows you to officially notify the other party in your case that you are filing a personal injury lawsuit.
The second phase, known as the “discovery” or “exchange of information” phase, allows both parties to exchange information about their case.
Documents are filed with the court to ensure that neither party is withholding important information.
This phase also allows your attorney to request medical records from the other party or any witnesses to the accident.
The final phase, known as the “pretrial” or “mediation” phase, allows both parties to discuss settlement.
If an agreement cannot be reached, your attorney may file a motion to have the case dismissed or go to trial.
If you have been involved in an accident, it is important to find a good attorney as soon as possible.
In order to ensure that your claim is filed before the statute of limitations runs out, you should file a personal injury claim within two years of your accident.
You have to make sure that you can prove your case, which is why you need to act quickly.

They helped my elderly uncle receive compensation for the loss of his wife who was administered a dangerous drug. He consulted with this firm because of my personal recommendation and was very pleased with the compassion, attention to detail and response he received. Definitely recommend this firm for their 5 star service.
When I wanted to join the Xarelto class action lawsuit, I chose TorrHoerman Law from a search of a dozen or so law firm websites. I was impressed with the clarity of the information they presented. I gave them a call, and was again impressed, this time with the quality of our interactions.
