Champaign Personal Injury Lawyers
The Champaign personal injury lawyers at Lerner and Rowe have helped victims of all kinds of accidents. Many of these victims suffered from numerous injuries that left them bed-ridden and unable to work for some time. Other victims had injuries that were less severe, but still affected them and their families for months or even years of their life.
Financial compensation can help cover the resulting medical bills, lost wages, and more from an accident. But, you will need an attorney to prove that another party was responsible for your accident first. Then, this attorney must negotiate with the liable party’s insurance company in an attempt to maximize your fair amount of compensation.

Work with Our Champaign Personal Injury Lawyers to Receive Maximum Compensation
There are numerous steps we may take to help ensure you receive the maximum amount of financial compensation owed to you. Here are just a few:
- Investigation: Help you gather evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, photographs, and medical records to establish the circumstances and cause of your injury.
- Medical Documentation: Obtaining comprehensive medical records and expert opinions to link the injuries directly to the incident and demonstrate their impact on your life.
- Establishing Liability: Demonstrating that the defendant’s negligence or wrongful actions directly led to your injury, often using evidence like surveillance footage or expert reconstruction.
- Causation: Establishing a clear connection between the defendant’s actions and the injuries you suffered, ruling out other potential causes.
- Damages: Calculating and documenting the various damages incurred, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more.
- Witness Testimony: Gathering testimony from witnesses who can corroborate the events leading to your injury or attest to your suffering.
- Documentation: Organizing all evidence, documentation, and records in a clear and compelling manner to build a strong and coherent injury case.
- Negotiation: Engaging in settlement negotiations with the opposing party or insurance companies to reach a fair compensation agreement.
Each of these steps should ideally be handled by a skilled attorney well-versed in Illinois law; without such experience, there’s a risk of missing out on crucial funds amounting to thousands of dollars.
