Seek Justice from a Top Illinois Personal Injury Lawyer

 

Board Certified. Committed. Professional.

Injuries and accidents are a part of life. If you’ve been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Frederick & Hagle provide legal representation to personal injury victims seeking justice. We are fiercely dedicated to fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Having a personal injury attorney in your corner is crucial to coping with medical expenses, property damage, and other costly obligations stemming from the injury.

Our goal is to help you heal physically and emotionally in battling for the compensation you deserve.

What is a “Personal Injury”? 

In the legal sphere, personal injury refers to cases in which one person suffers from harm where someone else is responsible. The victim could be entitled to compensation from the responsible party.

There are several scenarios where personal injury laws apply, including:

Accidents: The victim is injured as a result of someone else’s negligent behavior. Examples include car accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, etc.

Willful Acts: The victim is injured by the defendant’s intentional conduct. Examples include assault and battery, domestic abuse, etc.

Defective Products: The victim has been injured due to a faulty product. Examples generally include product liability claims.

Defamation: The victim’s reputation has been compromised by another individual’s statement.

A personal injury lawyer seeks fair compensation from the responsible party on behalf of the injured person(s). Fair compensation can help cover the various expenses incurred from hospital bills, property damage, and a myriad of incidental costs.

In Illinois, families often claim thousands of dollars in settlements after unfair injuries. The state allows a case to be presented to a judge as long as the claim takes place within two years of the date of the accident.

If you have been the victim of an injury – of which you are not to blame – look into the services of a personal injury lawyer to find out what kind of compensation you may be entitled to.

What Does a Personal Injury Case Entail? 

The thought of pursuing justice for your injury can be intimidating. However, the process isn’t as terrifying as you might think. A trained personal injury attorney will walk you through the entire process to understand your situation and decide what the next moves are.

We’ll investigate various aspects of your claim. This includes going through your medical records, understanding the extent of your injuries, and learning what treatments you have received or still need.

Once we have all of the details of your case, you’ll be prepared to make demands, negotiate, and take a personal injury lawsuit to court if it comes to it.

Our Areas of Personal Injury Practice

Frederick & Hagle accident and injury lawyers cover a wide range of practice areas, including the following:

Car Accidents

It’s estimated that over 20 percent of all automobile accidents in Illinois result in an injury. Rear-end collisions are the most common type of car accident in most counties. Most of the time, you have no control over if another car strikes you.

Collisions happen every day. Our injury attorneys are highly experienced in seeking compensation for those unfairly injured in car accidents.

Motorcycle Crashes

Over 100 motorcycle crashes happen in Illinois every year. Even if you’re wearing visible clothing and employing all of the best motorcycle safety methods, there’s always a chance you could be the victim of a serious accident.

Frederick & Hagle attorneys know Illinois motorcycle laws like the back of our hands. We’ll fight insurance companies until every client gets what they deserve.

Work-Related Injuries

Have you been injured on the job?

In Illinois, all employees who suffer work-related illnesses or injuries are entitled to worker’s compensation – regardless of who is at fault.

As long as you contact us to file a claim within 45 days of the injury or condition, we will seek compensation. Our lawyers have experience with a wide variety of work-related injuries, from toxic exposure to cuts and lacerations.

Medical Malpractice & Negligence

If you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, we’re here to help. Our personal injury lawyers aren’t afraid to pursue justice when defendants breach medical standards of care.

Medical malpractice can be complex. We’ll hunt down the evidence needed to win the case at trial. Everyone deserves safe medical care – and we’ll seek compensation if you were wronged.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slipped on black ice in a grocery store parking lot? Fell on a construction site that wasn’t properly protected? We’ve got your back.

Frederick & Hagle attorneys handle slip and fall accidents on a regular basis. We’ll quickly determine when property owners are liable for your injuries – and we won’t stop until we’ve proven that to a judge.

Wrongful Death 

If you’ve lost a loved one too early due to unfair or illegal actions, we’re here for you. Our attorneys listen when no one else will – and will do whatever we can to right wrongs.

Although we can’t bring your lost friend or family member back, we will pursue justice for their death and help you repay medical bills, funeral costs, etc.
