Injured By Someone Else’s Negligence? You’ve Come To The Right Place!

If the law is an ocean, personal injury law is our hunting ground. A grave injustice happens any time someone is injured by the negligence of others – and when insurance companies try to take advantage of injured accident victims, we smell blood in the water.

We take the side of injured folks just like you to help them fight back against legal injustice. If you find yourself here, we will accompany you through every stage of the personal injury process to ensure you secure the financial compensation you deserve.

What Is A Personal Injury Claim?

When you are hurt by someone else’s negligence, you typically have a right to make them pay for the injury. Not only this, but you also have the right to make them pay for all the associated costs and losses, from medical bills to personal trauma.

This right, however, is not automatic. It requires a personal injury claim to be made against the person, company, or government institution responsible for your injury. These entities often swim with even bigger fish: the insurance companies that end up doing the paying.

Given the high costs of medical care and all the additional harm and damages even the simplest of injuries can cause, these bills can get high, so insurance companies are rarely cooperative about paying up. This is why you need an assertive personal injury lawyer who isn't afraid to take them on in court.

What Kinds Of Injuries Can Lead To A Personal Injury Claim?

Life is full of risks and dangers. Our firm represents people in cases involving:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
• Slip-and-fall and premises liability accidents
• Dangerous and defective products
• Nursing home abuse and neglect
• Lead poisoning
• Wrongful death (for families, when a personal injury victim does not make it)
• Other acts of negligence

Even a simple rear-end at a busy Chicago intersection can be enough of an accident to cause lasting injuries. However, a truly catastrophic injury like a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord damage with paralysis can disrupt your entire life, career, and family.

The more serious the injury and the more it costs you, the more important it is to have an exceptional personal injury lawyer on your side. So when you get hurt, you want a shark.

Why Do You Need A Personal Injury Lawyer?

Personal injury cases can quickly get very messy. Defendants may try to contest the facts or blame you for the accident that caused your injury. Their insurance company might refuse to pay due to a prior injury, or trick you into accepting a lower sum before you realise the full extent of your injury and its costs on your life.

When this happens, personal injury claims often end up in fierce negotiations and drawn-out litigation. To ensure they don’t, or win if they do, you need a law firm that is ready to bite back, and an attorney who will fight relentlessly and aggressively for your right to personal injury compensation.

That lawyer is Alexander Memmen.

“My fiancée and I were in a collision this past September, and dealing with the driver’s insurance quickly became a nightmare. Alex and his team were incredible, immediately taking charge of the situation and handling everything from their end” – Noah C.

Most importantly, Attorney Memmen will handle your case personally. He makes a point to be personally reachable to answer your questions and guide you through the personal injury process.

“Awesome law firm. They took my case even though it was very complicated. Three insurance companies were involved, and none wanted to pay for the damages. Other law firms told us they did not want to help. Memmen was able to settle the claim. Highly recommend.” – Ashley D.

How Much Personal Injury Compensation Can I Expect?

No two accidents are identical, and neither are their injuries. When it comes to the money you can demand from a personal injury settlement, the amount will vary considerably from one case to another.

The amount you can claim is called your damages, and it depends on a number of factors and is meant to include all the harm, costs, and losses, direct and indirect, you suffered as a result of the injury. This means that the more severe your injuries, the more time off work they cause, and the greater the impact on your day-to-day life, the more you can claim in personal injury compensation.

That said, some cases will be hard capped by the insurance policy limits, though a skilled legal shark may be able to find deeper pockets to target when that happens. Insurance companies may also try to fight back, blaming you for the accident or claiming your injuries are not as severe. Countering these tactics is one of the main reasons you need to call a skilled personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
