In a wrongful death case in Illinois, money damages can be paid for such items as:

• Loss of earnings
• Loss of support
• Loss of love and affection
• Medical expenses
• Pain and suffering

We work on contingency fee basis. We don’t get paid unless you win.

Southern Illinois Auto Accident Lawyers

Southern Illinois Auto Accident Lawyers

Have you been injured in a vehicular incident? Our auto accident attorneys can help you get the maximum amount of compensation possible for your injuries. The insurance adjusters, who estimate the amount of damage to your car as well as the “fair” compensation for your injuries, do not work for you, but for the paying insurance company. They do everything in their power to minimize the settlement amount – saving the insurance company thousands of dollars. After all, insurance companies make most of their profit from underpaying the claims brought against them.

Most victims are not aware of how much compensation they can receive for their injuries. They often make incorrect assumptions resulting in great loss of benefits. Our attorneys will make sure that you are compensated fairly for your injuries. This compensation should cover all of your expenses including medical, car replacement, as well as lost wages and long-term care in case of disability.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an auto accident anywhere in Illinois, let our experienced car accident attorneys help you get the settlement you deserve.

We work on a contingency fee basis. We do not get paid unless you win.

How Pre-Settlement Lawsuit Funding Works

An injured person contacts a company that offers pre-settlement lawsuit funding, sometimes at the suggestion of an attorney. 

The finance company contacts the lawyer who is handling the case, and obtains information about the case. Based upon that information provided, the loan company estimates the value of the likely eventual settlement or verdict, and offers a cash advance to the injured person based upon that estimate. 

The fee may be a flat fee, or a monthly fee that accrues each month the loan is

outstanding. When the case settles, or the defendant pays after losing in court, the loan and associated fees are paid to the finance company. 

These advances are offered as non-recourse funding, which means that an injured person has no obligation to repay if the lawsuit is lost. Similarly, if the ultimate settlement or verdict is smaller than anticipated, the amount that must be repaid never exceeds the amount of the injured person's share of that verdict or settlement.

For legal reasons, these advances are not characterized as loans. 

Amounts available vary significantly, depending upon the nature of the case and the company involved. Many companies offer pre-settlement funding amounts between $500 and $25,000. 

A few offer amounts up to $100,000. Fees also vary depending upon the company and the type of case. Some companies will fix the fee for the advance up front. 

Others will charge a monthly fee for each month between the time the funding is issued and when it is repaid, sometimes as high as 15% per month.

Bicycle Accident Lawyer, Injured Child Lawyer

Children are the largest fatalities in bicycle accidents. Bicycle accident lawyers 24 hrs, 7 days for injured children.

Bicycle Related Injuries and Fatalities

Two percent of motor vehicle-related deaths are cyclists although bicycle trips account for less than 1 percent of all trips in the U.S.  In 2006, more than 44,000 bicyclists in the U.S. were injured in traffic crashes and 773 bicyclists died as a result of bicycle-related injuries.

Eight-five percent of bicycle deaths are persons 16 and older.  The most serious injuries among a majority of those killed are to the head, highlighting the importance of wearing a bicycle helmet. 

Ninety-five percent of the bicyclists killed in 2006 reportedly weren’t wearing helmets.
Bicycle Crash Facts

The number of reported bicycle-related injuries has risen in recent years, following a decline from the 1990s. However, only a small fraction, possibly as low as 10% of crashes causing injury are ever recorded by the police.
In 2006, the average age of bicyclists killed in motor vehicle crashes was 41, and the average age of those injured was 30.
Children are at particularly high risk for bicycle-related injuries, with those under 14 years of age accounting for 13% of the fatalities, making this one of the most frequent causes of injury related death for young children. Bicycle helmet use by children 4 to 15 would prevent 39,000 to 45,000 head injuries and 18,000 to 55,000 scalp and face injuries annually.
Deaths among bicyclists younger than 16 have gone down by 84% since 1975, while deaths among bicyclists 16 and older have more than doubled.
Twenty-four percent of bicyclists killed in 2006 were alcohol impaired with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) at or above 0.08%.
Bicyclist deaths in 2006 occurred most often during June-September and between the hours of 6pm and 9pm.
Children are at particularly high risk for bicycle-related injuries, with those under 14 years of age accounting for 13% of the fatalities, making this one of the most frequent causes of injury related death for young children.
Deaths among bicyclists younger than 16 have gone down by 84% since 1975, while deaths among bicyclists 16 and older have more than doubled.
More than 7 times as many bicyclist deaths in 2006 were males compared with females. At every age more male than female bicyclists were killed and the rates of bicyclist deaths per million people were higher for males than females. The highest rate of bicyclist deaths per million people occurred for 50-54 year-old males.

The average length of a bicycle trip taken on a typical summer day was 3.9 miles. Trip length was dependent upon purpose. Trips taken for recreation or fitness were longer at 5.6 miles while trips for other purposes averaged 2.2 miles.

Most Common Types of Bicycle-Related Crashes

• Motorist failed to yield
• Bicyclist failed to yield at intersection
• Motorist merged or turned into bicycle
• Bicyclist failed to yield mid-block
• Motorist overtaking bicyclist
• Bicyclist turned or merged into motorist

Birmingham Work Injury Lawyers

Workplace accidents can result in devastating injuries. You may be afraid of losing your job and unable to pay bills. Medical costs may be mounting and your personal relationships may be suffering. If you’ve been injured in a workplace accident, you may be able to receive workers’ compensation; however, that won’t cover every aspect of loss that you incur.

If a negligent party other than your employer caused your injury, you may be able to recover compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Contact the Birmingham work injury lawyers with Belt & Bruner, P.C. at (844) 542-8838

After you suffer an on-the-job injury, the last thing you will want to worry about is how you are going to pay your bills and continue to provide for your family. While workers’ compensation can provide a quick resolution to part of this problem, what many people don’t realize is that a workers’ compensation claim (even if successful) may not always meet the needs of a victim and their family.

Frequently Asked Questions about Workers' Compensation

Frequently Asked Questions about Workers' Compensation

Q: What is Workers Compensation?

A: Workers' compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides compensation to employees who suffer job-related injuries. An injured employee gets the benefits regardless of who was at fault -- the employee, the employer, a co-worker, a customer or some other third party. In exchange for these guaranteed benefits, the employees usually do not have the right to sue the employer in court for damages for the injuries.

Q: Does workers' compensation cover only injuries, or does it also cover long-term problems and illnesses?

A: Your injury need not be caused by an accident -- such as a fall from a ladder -- to be covered by workers'

compensation. Many workers, for example, receive compensation for repetitive stress injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome and back problems, that are caused by overuse or misuse over a long period of time. You may also be compensated for some illnesses and diseases that are the gradual result of work conditions -- for example, heart conditions, lung disease and stress-related digestive problems.

A Workers Compensation laswyer should be hired to protect your rights

Workers Compensation and Toxic Substances

Toxic Substance Exposure Can Mean a Serious Medical Condition

Inhaling toxic fumes or coming in contact with poisonous chemicals can lead to a  severe respiratory problems and organ damage. Symptoms of exposure to toxic substances are not always immediate, and the body might take years to react. It is not uncommon for people who work with hazardous materials to develop respiratory problems months or years after an unsafe exposure. Often this comes from a work environment. The Workers Compensation lawyers in Florida and Geprgia can help with this. When the chief provider of the family becomes ill the entire family suffers.

An Injury From Toxic Substance Exposure Means You Deserve Workers' Compensation Benefits

If you were exposed to a toxic environment on your job and have developed a health problem that has put you out of work, you are entitled to recover medical coverage and lost earnings.  Proving your claim is often difficult, as you must demonstrate a direct connection between the exposure to the toxic substance, your injury and your inability to work because of it. Having an experienced Georgia or Florida workers' compensation attorney  fight for your rights can protect you and your family.

 Asbestos and other hazardous materials lead to respiratory problems and a form of cancer called Mesothelioma.  Exposure to chemical fumes from everyday substances like office cleaning supplies can lead to chemical burns, organ damage and even brain injury.

On The Job Injury and Wrongful Death                                                                                                                                                    While workers' compensation offers death benefits to the family of a workplace injury victim, your family may be entitled to significantly more compensation.

Workers' compensation benefits are only the first place to start when seeking wrongful death compensation.
