Why Should You Hire An

Hinsdale Personal Injury Attorney?

Some people choose this route when they’ve suffered only mild injuries and have the time to research the legal claims process themselves. However, a top personal injury attorney like Mario Palermo can help you go up against big companies and their team of lawyers.

Tips for Personal Injury Accident Cases

1. Don't accept the first settlement offer

Let's say for example that you are in a car accident. While you may want to accept the first settlement offer from the insurance company of a negligent driver, we strongly advise against it. Few people re aware that without legal representation, insurance adjusters often offer a low first settlement offer to intentionally avoid paying you the financial compensation you could win. The last thing you want is to realize that the offer is not enough to cover medical bills, lost wages, and any other damages you suffered. 

Settlement offers are the opposite of "one size fits all" because everyone's unique circumstances are different. So don't fall into the trap of assuming the first offer is as good as it gets. Always speak to an experienced personal injury attorney first.

2. Find the right personal injury lawyer

A good personal injury lawyers should have some key traits that are easily recognizable. If you're trying to decide which lawyer should represent you, use this checklist as a guide:

  • Experience
  • Location - if you live in Hinsdale, looking for a lawyer in the city is only going to be an inconvenience. Suburban lawyers aren't just practical, but they're familiar with the court system and norms of the Chicago suburbs.
  • High expectations - a good attorney won't settle for anything less than the compensation you deserve
  • Backbone - oftentimes a personal injury lawyer's job is to stand up for you when insurance adjusters from the other party use manipulative tactics. Look for a lawyer who is accustomed to dealing with adjusters and won't let their tactics fly.
