When the accident causes injuries, the victims usually have the right to seek financial recompense from every party at fault for their damages.

It is crucial to receive care from a medical team that supports your health interests to ensure you get the most compensation out of your claim. Our law firm will direct you to the best medical experts that provide specialized treatment for your injuries. These professionals can also serve as expert witnesses should your case be heard in front of a judge and jury. When presenting evidence, it is best to have medical professionals who can testify in court as to exactly how you are healing, and how the injuries caused by the negligent actions of the defendants will impact you many years into the future.

Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC accept personal injury cases through contingency fee agreements. This type of arrangement allows you to pay nothing upfront while still receiving legal representation to evaluate your case, file your claim, gather evidence, negotiated settlement or, if necessary, take your case to trial. We receive our legal fees only after we have successfully resolved your case through a negotiated out-of-court settlement or a jury trial award. If we are unable to secure financial compensation on your behalf, our law firm will not charge you any fee at all.

Within a day or two after you have filed a claim for compensation, the insurance company providing coverage for the defendant in your case will employ a claims adjuster to handle your claim. It is the adjuster’s responsibility to minimize the amount of settlement paid out to victims to reduce the insurer’s losses and increase their profits.

It is important to remember that the adjuster is attempting to speak to you because the insurance company believes you have a valid claim for compensation. However, it is their responsibility to ask for a recorded statement. Even so, you are under no obligation to provide any information before you contact an attorney to discuss your case in private. You should consider letting your attorney speak to the adjuster on your behalf, even if your case involves an uninsured motorist and you are filing a claim against your insurance carrier.

Somewhere along the way, the insurance company will use dirty tactics and proven strategies to deny or delay a claim for payment. Any unreasonable delay can cause you to wait months or years for a payout, or no payment at all if the company refuses to settle. Fortunately, the experienced attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC can quickly put an end to the insurer's tactics and bad faith negotiations they use on victims who represent themselves, to ensure you receive the compensation that is rightfully yours.

If you are going to file a claim for compensation for a personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death case, time is of the essence. Promptly filing a claim is important because the state of Illinois has a strict statute of limitations on the amount of time you have the file a compensation claim. Hiring an attorney to handle your case is crucial to ensure that all the legal paperwork is filed before the statute expires. A timely filing will put the defendants in your case on notice that they will be required to pay your medical expenses, hospitalization, missed wages, and non-economic damages including pain, suffering, emotional trauma, and mental anguish.

Many residents affected by the fire moved into the Gold Coast community to rebuild their lives. Today, the historic district bordered by Clark Street, Oak St., Lake Shore Drive, and North Avenue is recognized as the second most affluent community in the nation.

Residents and visitors have access to upscale shopping along the Magnificent Mile filled with trendy international stores, designer boutiques, prestigious hotels, and restaurants. The area is also home to the Northwestern University Chicago Campus.
