New Lenox Personal Injury Lawyer

Car Accident Attorney Serving New Lenox, IL

In Illinois, if you are injured in an incident caused by another party's negligence, you are entitled by law to pursue legal action against that party to recover financial compensation for the losses your injuries have caused you. Although the law does not require you to hire a personal injury lawyer to represent you, statistically, the amount you can receive through an insurance settlement or lawsuit is likely to be much higher than if you try to settle the case yourself.

Insurance companies are notorious for using all kinds of tactics to deny injured people the compensation they deserve. However, Attorney Khaled Issa is ready to counter these tactics and ensure that you receive the full compensation you deserve. With extensive legal experience in personal injury law, Attorney Issa has earned a solid reputation for being an aggressive advocate for his clients. Insurance companies know he will do all he can to ensure that you are protected and will not be intimidated or manipulated into taking a lower settlement than you are entitled to.

Some of the more common types of accident cases Attorney Issa can successfully handle include:

Vehicle accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are among the most common situations where people suffer serious injuries. At Issa Law, LLC, we handle claims for car accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, and motorcycle accidents. These cases involve injuries sustained by drivers, passengers, pedestrians, or cyclists due to the negligent actions of other motorists. Common causes of motor vehicle accidents include speeding, distracted driving, drunk driving, reckless maneuvers, and vehicle defects.

When you hire our firm to represent you following an accident, we will begin by thoroughly investigating the details of the crash to determine liability. We will gather evidence such as police reports and witness statements. If needed, we will work with an accident reconstruction expert to recreate the circumstances of the accident.

Once we are confident we have all the evidence we need to establish liability, Attorney Issa will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to seek fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, Attorney Issa is prepared to litigate the case in court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to secure compensation through a jury verdict.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Some accidents may occur in which a person is injured due to hazardous conditions on another person's property. Hazards that may lead to slip and fall accidents may include wet floors, uneven surfaces, poorly maintained walkways, inadequate lighting, or debris obstructing pathways. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises and warn visitors of potential dangers. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable for injuries suffered by visitors.

To prove your case, Attorney Issa will work to show that the property owner failed to address known hazards. Compensation for these types of cases is usually obtained by negotiating with the property owner's insurance company. You may be able to recover damages such as medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring, permanent disability, and more.

Wrongful Death Cases

When a person dies as a result of the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party, their family may recover financial compensation through a wrongful death claim. These tragic incidents can occur in various contexts, including car, truck, or slip and fall accidents. In Illinois, the law allows certain family members or representatives of the deceased to pursue a wrongful death claim against the responsible party for damages.

The damages that can be obtained in a wrongful death case include the medical expenses that were incurred from the accident, funeral and burial costs, loss of love and guidance, loss of companionship, loss of service, and loss of financial support. Attorney Issa understands just how devastating these cases can be for families who are already grieving the loss of their loved ones. He also understands that while no amount of money will ever make up for their family member's death, a wrongful death claim is often the best form of justice a family can obtain.
