A serious injury can have a forceful and devastating impact on a victim and his or her family.
Personal injuries are both stressful and overwhelming.
Because we recognize how devastating the aftermath of an accident can be for those involved, we fight for the rights of the victim of an accident and work to restore all financial losses incurred as a result of the accident.
Victims have a right to financial compensation, as well as compensation for the pain and suffering endured.
At TorHoerman Law, we will deal with the legal process while you concentrate on healing from your injuries!
In addition, there are many benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer when you have been injured in an accident.
Personal injury lawyers will handle all the legal procedures associated with your case.
If your case ends in a settlement, it is typical that 25-30% of this amount goes to paying the attorneys’ fees.
An experienced personal injury lawyer may also be able to increase your chances of receiving settlement amounts that can cover not only your current and future medical bills, but also any other damages associated with your case.
Moreover, working with a personal injury attorney often results in less stress and hassle for the victim.
Instead of having to go through negotiations and court proceedings, your attorney will handle the entire legal process for you!
If you are considering filing a personal injury lawsuit, there are a few steps that you should take to ensure that you have a strong case.
The two (2) most important steps when filing a personal injury lawsuit are:
Mitigation is the process of minimizing the damages that you incur as a result of the accident or injury.
In the case that you suffered an injury, you should mitigate further injury.
If you suffered property damage or other financial losses, you should mitigate further loss.
In order to mitigate further injury, seek medical treatment as soon as possible after your injury or accident.
Follow your doctor’s orders and do everything possible, within reason, to make sure your injury does not get worse.
If you suffered property damage or other financial loss, be sure to have all damage assessed.
Avoid using any properties that were damaged, unless they are essential.
If they are essential properties, such as a car you need to get to work – be sure to have them fixed before using them again after the accident.
Next, you will need to hire an attorney to represent you and your interests.
Be sure to find an attorney who is:
Ask your potential attorney any questions you deem necessary before making a final decision.
You should ask them about:
The choice of an attorney is an important decision and not one that should be taken lightly.
Contact TorHoerman Law today to speak with a Maryville personal injury lawyer and find out if our firm is right for you!
Your personal injury lawyer will act as your legal representative, navigating the complex civil litigation process on your behalf.
A lawyer helps facilitate the recovery process, handling negotiations with insurance companies and fulfilling the stringent requirements for personal injury lawsuits in Maryville.
Your attorney will build a strong case to gain your financial compensation for the losses that you incurred.
A personal injury attorney’s process of building a strong case includes three (3) steps:
The majority of a personal injury case hinges on the evidence that’s collected and presented.
Before going to trial, your attorney must gather enough information to prove fault in the accident, while also showing that your injuries have affected your life in a negative way.
This can be done with witness statements, police reports, medical records and photos.
Witness statements are crucial.
They are the best way to prove fault in an accident, especially in cases in which they contradict any evidence presented by insurance companies.
Witness statements can support your version of events, proving that another individual caused the accident.
After gathering all the necessary evidence, your attorney will assess the damages presented by your injuries.
Monetary compensation is given for economic and non-economic losses.
Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages and property damage.
Non-economic damages are described as pain and suffering.
The components that go into assessing damages will vary depending on the type of injury and severity.
The final step in building a strong case is proving liability through evidence.
Your attorney will need to prove that another party was at fault for the accident, by showing negligence or intent.
Your lawyer will have to prove that the defendant is liable for your injuries.
This can be done through evidence, such as eyewitnesses or police reports.
One example of evidence is eyewitness statements, which can help prove fault in the accident.
Building a strong case doesn’t always have to go to trial, though.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, it may be possible to secure a settlement before it’s taken this far.
The negotiating power of a lawyer can get you the settlement that you deserve.
If your Maryville injury attorney can succeed in accomplishing all of these steps, they will be able to build a strong personal injury case for you and increase the likelihood of financial compensation!
Personal injury is a broad legal field covering numerous types of personal injuries and accidents.
Some common personal injury cases that our Maryville personal injury attorneys litigate include:
The majority of personal injury claims filed in Illinois are automobile accident cases.
Car accidents often cause serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputations.
These types of injuries can dramatically change your life, so you need the experienced legal representation of an experienced Maryville car accident lawyer on your side!
The number of commercial truck drivers on the road is increasing every year, and with that, accidents involving tractor-trailers are increasing as well.
These large trucks are capable of causing major damage in an accident, especially on crowded interstate highways and busy arterial roads.
If you’ve been involved in an accident with a commercial truck at no fault of your own, consider contacting TorHoerman Law to see it that you are rightfully compensated for any damages and injuries.
Bicycle accidents are another common personal injury case.
There are many variables that can increase your risk of being involved in a bicycle accident.
Risk may be increased when riding at night without proper lighting, on busy streets, or against the flow of traffic.
Many bike accidents occur as a result of car accidents and liability may be hard to determine, so it’s crucial to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer if you’ve been injured by a car while on your bike.
Most people view Uber and Lyft drivers as safe alternatives to traditional taxi services.
Unfortunately, Uber and Lyft accidents are becoming more common, especially in large cities.
If you’ve been injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, consider contacting an experienced Maryville personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
One of the most tragic types of personal injury is wrongful death.
Wrongful death is a term used when someone kills another person – accidentally or intentionally.
If a loved one has died due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your loss.
When deciding whether or not to file a wrongful death claim, it’s crucial to consult with an experienced Maryville wrongful death attorney as soon as possible after the accident.
Premise liability cases involve injuries that occur as a result of hazardous conditions on another person’s property.
Premises liability law covers instances like slip and fall accidents, dog bites and defective store merchandise.
If you’ve been injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, it’s crucial to contact a personal injury lawyer at TorHoerman Law.

If you have been injured in a car accident, our Maryville personal injury lawyers can help you file a claim for damages and get the compensation you deserve.
When you are injured because of someone else’s negligence, you can file a personal injury claim to seek compensation.
You may be entitled to damages for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, mental distress or loss of companionship.
The three (3) most common types of personal injury compensation include:
The most common types of economic damages in a personal injury case are lost earnings, medical expenses and repair or replacement costs for property damage.
If you miss work because of your injuries, you can claim the wages that you would have earned during this time.
You can claim the costs of medical treatment that were necessary because of your injuries.
You can also recover punitive damages, if they are awarded in your case, for medical expenses.
You may be able to recover the costs of repairing damaged property if you can prove that your injuries were the result of someone else’s negligence.
Non-economic damages in a personal injury case include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress and loss of companionship.
If your injuries cause you pain and suffering, you can claim non-economic damages to compensate you for the discomfort that you have experienced.
You can claim compensation for emotional injuries that result from someone else’s negligence.
This may include emotional distress that you experienced, such as when you witnessed or heard about an accident that caused a close friend to be injured.
The law recognizes that when a loved one dies or is injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship that you have experienced.
This type of damages is recognized in a wrongful death claim.
Punitive damages are designed to punish the defendant for his or her wrongful conduct.
They are not awarded in every personal injury case, and they are awarded in addition to economic and non-economic damages.
If you’re considering filing a personal injury suit, it’s important to know what the plaintiff in a personal injury case is required to prove.
This will help you determine if you have a case and what type of evidence will be needed to win your personal injury claim.
If you cannot prove all of the elements of a personal injury case, it’s less likely that you will win your case.
If you’re thinking about filing a personal injury lawsuit, make sure you can prove the following four (4) elements:
The first element in any personal injury case is that the defendant owed the plaintiff a legal duty.
A duty is an obligation that requires individuals to act in a certain way.
For example, drivers owe pedestrians the duty of driving safely and not driving while intoxicated, and doctors owe their patients the duty of performing surgery utilizing accepted medical practices.
Breach is the second element in a personal injury case.
In order to prove breach, a plaintiff must show that a defendant failed to perform their legal duty towards them.
To illustrate, a plaintiff who is hit by a drunk driver must prove that the driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident.
A defendant breaches their duty by failing to act in the way that a reasonable person would act under similar circumstances.
For example, if a doctor fails to give their patient proper medical attention, this is a breach of the doctor’s duty to act in good faith.
The third element of proof in a personal injury case is that the defendant’s breach caused the plaintiff’s injuries.
Generally, it is not enough for a plaintiff to prove that defendant owed them a duty and breached it.
The plaintiff must also show that their injuries were caused by the defendant’s breach.
To illustrate, a plaintiff who slips and falls in a supermarket due to a puddle of water on the floor must prove that the defendant was negligent in allowing the puddle of water to form.
Finally, a plaintiff must prove that they were damaged by their injuries.
Because each case is unique, it’s difficult to determine what types of damages a plaintiff may recover in a personal injury suit.
Generally, though, elements of proof in a personal injury case include medical expenses, loss of wages and pain and suffering.

The Illinois state statute of limitations limits the amount of time that you have to take legal action after an accident or injury has occurred.

Get a free, no-obligation consultation and decide whether legal action is the best option for you!
While you can seek financial compensation through your insurance company, or the liable party’s insurance provider, insurers generally undervalue the total current and future losses of the victim.
A Maryville personal injury attorney can work on your behalf to arbitrate the highest payout from the insurance company.
If they are unable to get the amount of compensation that you deem necessary, your injury attorney will use the legal system to gain you the necessary financial compensation to cover all the costs associated with your injury accident!
Hiring a Edwardsville personal injury lawyer to help with your case comes at a cost.
Attorneys are generally either paid hourly, on retainer, with a flat fee or paid under a contingency fee arrangement.
It is important you understand the difference.
TorHoerman Law offers a contingency fee arrangement only when we believe we can win.
There are many reasons for operating on a contingency fee basis, but the most important are:
Clients can rest assured they will not owe anything if their case is not won, which is a relief for many when faced with other medical expenses related to their injuries.
Contingency fee arrangements allow for everyone to have access to a lawyer.
You will not be required to pay the large costs upfront.
You will not be required to pay out-of-pocket expenses to receive representation.
Contingency fee agreements encourage your legal team to work hard and diligently for you.
If we don’t win, we do not get paid. It’s as simple as that.
When working to gain you compensation, we always consider our fees in any demands.

Our Maryville personal injury lawyers can help you after a car accident.
We take all cases very seriously and will fight to get the justice and money you deserve!
It is always your choice on whether or not you would like to go through with a trial.
You can always settle your case outside of court.
If you have a valid case and your injuries are not in question, many times when you go to trial, you will get a much larger sum of money.
If you choose, however, to settle your case before a trial, we encourage you to fully investigate any settlement offer and get the opinion of a second lawyer before you accept it.
Contact us if you have been involved in a car accident or any personal injury accident.
Our lawyers can help determine if your injuries are valid and what you should do next!
When you are injured, the last thing on your mind is money.
Insurance companies try to take advantage of this and will often try to give you less than what your injuries are worth because they think you don’t know any better.
Our lawyers will make sure you get a large settlement for your injuries and all the money you deserve.
If you have been injured in a car accident or any other type of accident, please call us at (618) 223-5657.
We want to help you get the money you deserve!

We will help you get the money you need so that you can spend time focusing on your recovery.
The insurance companies will do whatever they can to make your life difficult after an accident.
They don’t care about you and are mostly interested in keeping more money for themselves.
They will try to use your disability against you and tell you that it is not valid.
Don’t let them intimidate you. We are here to help.
Our lawyers will be your voice and fight for the money you deserve so that you can focus on getting better!
If you don’t have insurance, that doesn’t mean we can’t help.
Our lawyers will do whatever it takes to get you the money that you need.
Many times, our clients don’t have insurance and we are still able to get them a good settlement.
Don’t let being uninsured stop you from getting the money that you deserve.
Call our office today and we will help you get all of the compensation you deserve!
The law of Maryville personal injury is based on the principle that every person owes a duty to act carefully.
When you find someone has violated this duty, you can make a personal injury claim.
There are three (3) basic types of negligence…
The defendant has a responsibility to act in certain circumstances, and they do not.
The defendant made an agreement with the plaintiff and did not live up to it.
The defendant failed to adhere to some condition they agreed to as a term of the contract.
In cases based on negligence, this kind of breach is usually included.
The first thing you should do after being injured in an accident is seek medical attention.
Even if your injury seems minor, there could be something more serious going on that your doctor can diagnose.
After you have seen a doctor, it is important that you take notes of all the details of your accident.
If you are unable to capture the specifics of your accident in writing, be sure to tell our Maryville injury law firm all of the details.
You may need to testify in court about the specifics of your case – having a record of these initial details will be incredibly helpful for our lawyers and staff.
If you have suffered serious injuries, it is important that you do not speak to the insurance adjuster representing the at-fault party.
Insurance adjusters are trained to obtain information from you that will protect their insured.

After a car accident, or any accident, you need an experienced attorney on your side!
A statute of limitations is a law that prevents an injured victim from filing a lawsuit after the time period has lapsed.
The majority of states have different laws for different types of personal injury cases.
While some states follow the discovery rule statute, determining the time frame of your lawsuit based on when you discovered you were injured, many states follow the traditional statute of limitations.
This means that the time period in which to file your claim may vary by each state.
The type of case you file will also affect the statute of limitations for your claim.
For instance, some claims related to car accidents have a shorter statute of limitations compared to claims related to defective drugs.
If you were injured in an accident, it is important that you contact a Maryville personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

He consulted with this firm because of my personal recommendation and was very pleased with the compassion, attention to detail and response he received. Definitely recommend this firm for their 5 star service.
