FAQ

What should I do if I get in a truck accident in Chicago?
If you are involved in a commercial truck accident in Chicago, your own safety and well-being should be your top priorities. Immediately call the police and any other emergency services to receive necessary medical care. If possible, take pictures of the scene and document details such as construction work or unclear signage; this evidence can be critical should legal action become necessary.
Is Chicago a no-fault city for truck accidents?
No, the state of Illinois follows an at-fault policy. In the event of a truck accident in Chicago, it is best to consult a skilled attorney in order to determine who is liable for any damages, including medical bills, property damage, punitive costs, and any physical or emotional trauma. Furthermore, this person or entity will also be responsible for any loss of wages resulting from the accident.
What is the average settlement for a truck accident in Chicago?
Due to the various factors that could affect the outcome, it is impossible to provide an average settlement amount for truck accidents in Chicago. For a more accurate figure, seek the counsel of a knowledgeable Chicago truck accident lawyer. An experienced attorney can assess the specifics of the situation and make sure you receive a fair settlement.
Is hiring a truck accident lawyer in Chicago necessary?
Whether or not you should hire legal representation following a minor accident in Chicago depends on the circumstances. In general, it is not required, though it could be beneficial, especially if the accident caused property damage, injury, or might have legal repercussions. Having a lawyer look over any contracts related to the accident and providing legal advice can also be advantageous. Additionally, lawyers can negotiate with insurance companies; if you're dealing with a more severe accident that may involve a court case, it is critical to consult with a lawyer.
How much does a Chicago truck accident lawyer cost through Mighty?
At Mighty Law, we understand the financial burden that often accompanies an accident. Thus, we operate on a contingency basis for our services. This means that you only pay us if your case is successful. We also charge 10% less than the industry standard, enabling you to receive top-quality services at an affordable price.
What does the Mighty Law process look like?
At the outset, we will draft a retainer agreement describing the terms of our agreement, including a 60-day period during which you can opt out for any reason. Throughout the process, you will not be charged unless we prevail in your case.
Our team of experts at Mighty Law will construct your case, which will include gathering photographs of the accident, investigating safety rules and conditions of the road, and investigating all other details to establish a solid case. Our goal is to help you recover all aspects of your life—helping you plan your medical treatments, address vehicle repairs, and restore peace of mind.
How long will it take to investigate a claim in Chicago?
Although some truck accident cases take up to a year and a half to be resolved, many can be addressed in a shorter time frame. We pledge to start on your case immediately to speed up the process.
Who pays for medical bills in a truck accident in Chicago?
It is wise to pay for any medical costs resulting from a truck accident using your health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. If you do not have access to one of those, you may be able to utilize a Letter of Protection (LOP). Doctors who agree to accept an LOP are only paid once a case is successfully resolved.
Alternatively, if the other party is found responsible for damages, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses.
