Hoffman Estates Personal Injury Attorneys

The State of Illinois issued a charter to incorporate the Village of Hoffman Estates in 1959, when the resident population was about 8,000. The last census counted 51,895 with a diverse ethnic mix. Hoffman Estates is a big business headquarters for Sears Holdings, the major regional employer, AT&T, GE Capital Services, and Siemens Medical Systems. The office of the Village Clerk at 1900 Hassell Road is the local government operations center. A major regional hospital, St. Alexius Medical Center, recently added a Pediatric and Women’s Center. The village maintains an emergency medical ambulance service that responds immediately to personal injury cases of all kinds.

The time to take action to protect legal rights is as soon possible for every claimant, no exceptions. As soon as the medical professionals have stabilized and improved the claimant’s condition to the point that business transactions can proceed comfortably, the personal injury lawyer should become part of the case. The claimant should call around, meet with as many lawyers as necessary to make a selection, and then have a full consultation and case evaluation before contacting any insurer or interested party. Many if not most personal injury lawyers offer free initial consultations, so there is no financial reason to hold back.

The necessity for thorough investigation and preparation of the case is another urgent reason to consult with a personal injury lawyer as quickly as reasonably possible. Witnesses must be located and interviewed, physical evidence must be secured, and sometimes experts must recruited. Any waste of time can mean evidence may disappear and the case may become less than convincing.

A claimant who contacts insurers first is likely to hear them say that there is no need to bring into the case a lawyer who will only complicate and hold up the process and then take as a fee a big bite out of the claimant’s recovery. Any recorded statements claimants make to insurance companies will come back twisted to haunt them. Insurance adjusters are masterful misleaders who profess concern for claimants but whose interest is in delaying the claim process and ultimately in denying the claim altogether if possible. In some cases adjusters have delayed claims to the point where the time under the state statute of limitations for legal actions expires, and the claimants no longer can go to court for enforcement of their rights.

In negotiations with claimants on their own adjusters have every advantage. Because Hoffman Estates personal injury lawyers know how insurance companies misbehave and the tricks they play, claimants with counsel have a level playing field for negotiations. Then success will depend on how well claimant’s counsel prepares and presents the case for recovery to the insurer and then, if necessary, to the court.
