Hiring a Chicago Car Accident Lawyer

Driving the highways around the Chicago Metropolitan area is often a risky proposition. Chances are at some time in your life, you will likely be involved in a minor fender bender or a major traffic accident with injuries. When this happens, you will likely think the insurance company will provide instant compensation through an out-of-court settlement to ensure all of your bills are paid. Think again.



While you might believe that the insurance company is in business to collect premiums and pay out claims, their business plan focuses primarily on generating profits. In fact, there is very little most insurance carriers won’t do to avoid paying you compensation for your claim. They will often drag out a settlement as long as they can, or deny it altogether.



Denying or Delaying a Claim



Common reasons for denying or delaying the claim include:



• Make a claim that you, the car accident victim, is likely at fault for causing the collision

• Make a false allegation that you, the victim, claimed you were at fault at the accident scene

• Make false allegations that you suffered no injuries from the crash

• Claim that there is no actual witness to your accident, minimizing your efforts to prove the claim

• Make false allegations that you are overly litigious with a propensity to file lawsuits

• Falsely accuse you of not stating you were injured to the investigating officer, indicating you are not really hurt

• Make a meritless claim that you were using your cell phone when the accident occurred 

• State that it was your car’s mechanical defects that contributed to the collision

• Accuse you of lying because you cannot remember every detail of the collision

• Claim that you are greedy, a liar or both

• Make meritless claims that you are not really injured, but just saying you are to stay out of work

• Make a claim that neither driver is at fault for causing the accident

• other bogus claims
