The first step in handling any type of personal injury claim usually involves gathering evidence and data associated in the case. This also includes gathering in filing paperwork, reading and comprehending documents, gathering reports, and speaking to witnesses. Because of the complexity of Illinois tort law, an experienced St. Charles personal injury attorney need to maintain an open relationship with insurance carriers.

Generally, the efforts of the victim’s attorney usually create the opportunity for a financial settlement out of court. When a settlement is not reached, the attorneys for both sides proceed to trial and have the case heard in open court. Whether there is an award given a trial by the jury, or settlement out of court, the responsible party pays compensation to the victim.

The lawyer providing legal representation for the victim typically works on contingency. Through a legal contingency agreement, the attorney will only be paid for services if successful. The amount paid to the lawyer is pre-determined in the agreement, whether the compensation is through settlement or an award after a successful verdict at trial. Contingency agreements avoid the need for the victim to provide upfront fees to the lawyer handling the case.

In addition, working on contingency provides a financial incentive for the attorney to do everything possible to achieve the highest amount of recompense, paid by the responsible party and his or her insurance carrier.

Every personal injury case is different, with different merits, evidence, witnesses and the ability to prove the case in court, or to a claims adjuster. Because of that, the final amount of financial compensation paid to the victim can vary greatly between cases.
