Despite Mokena being an area with very low crime, accidents can still happen anywhere and Mokena is no exception to this fact.

If you have been injured in an accident in Mokena, you may understandably be wondering what steps to take next.
The Mokena personal injury attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC represent visitors and residents of Mokena, Illinois who were hurt in an accident or suffered injuries in an on-the-job incident. Was your loved one injured at work or involved in an accident? If so, we invite you to schedule an appointment to discuss your legal rights and options during an initial, free case review with our law firm. Our law firm accepts every lawsuit and claim for compensation through a contingency fee arrangement. This agreement will postpone every payment for our legal services until after we have successfully resolved your case through a negotiated settlement or jury trial award. We provide every client a “No Win/No-Fee” Guarantee, meaning if we cannot obtain compensation on your behalf, you owe us nothing.
Know Your RightsMost importantly, it is necessary that you be familiar with your rights as the victim of an accident. After the accident itself, you will probably incur medical bills and you may even be unable to work. As a result, you may suffer from lost wages and even have to pay for child care to care for your family while you are recovering. Furthermore, if you experienced property damage during the accident, you may also have repair or replacement bills. Even if you have insurance, there is a good chance that not everything will be covered and you will still end up with a substantial amount of out-of-pocket expenses as a result.
However, if the accident was not your fault, then you have every right to take the responsible party or their insurance company to court in an attempt to receive a settlement and compensation for your excess medical bills and other costs. Otherwise, you may be left to pay these expenses out of your own pocket, which is an added stress that you simply do not need at this point in time.
Hire a Personal Injury LawyerOf course, you do not want to take on the insurance company alone. Instead, it is in your best interest to look into hiring Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC. This way, you can reduce your own stress and have a better chance of winning your case against the insurance company, which likely has its own team of experienced lawyers that will be going against you.
A personal injury lawyer will not only be able to assist you in determining how much money you are entitled to, but will also be able to work with the insurance company to get every last penny you deserve for your injuries. In some cases, your attorney may even be able to settle the case outside of court so that you do not have to deal with the hassle of going in front of a judge. Even if the case cannot be settled out of court, a lawyer will be there for you every step of the way to make your life easier.
When it comes to the cost of hiring a Mokena personal injury lawyer, it depends on who you hire. Most lawyers these days do not request any kind of payment until after your case has already been settled. Then, you typically pay a predetermined percentage to the lawyer. In some cases, however, you may end up paying up front. It all depends on what the agreement is that you reach with your lawyer ahead of time. Whatever that agreement is, it is a good idea to get it in writing so as to ensure that it can be enforced.
