Finding yourself in a hospital after being hit with a giant semi-truck on one of Illinois’s major highways is not how you pictured any part of your life. Understandably, you are shaken and probably can’t even think straight just yet, but there is an issue of urgency and timing here. As any Chicago truck accident attorney will tell you, you have a very limited amount of time to file a lawsuit to cover your injuries, hospital bills, any rehab or mental health services you need, and any lost income as the result of the accident. Here’s what you need to do to find the right Chicago truck accident attorney.
Consultations Are Always Free
Almost every lawyer offers a free consultation. You can ask questions and get some basic answers. You can decide to hire that lawyer or a different one. Up until money exchanges hands, you are free to consult with as many lawyers as you need until you find one you like. Just don’t take too long to find and hire one or your case will be moot.
Bring All Documentation to the Meeting
You should have a police report, your medical bills, proof of lost wages, etc., with you when you meet with a lawyer. If you decide to hire him or her, he or she will need copies of all of these documents prior to filing your case with the county courts.
