Q: How soon after an injury should I contact a lawyer?
A: You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible after suffering an injury. Your first concern when injured should be to seek medical care for your injuries. Once you have been medically examined by a doctor, contact an attorney to discuss your legal options. Do not assume that insurance companies, companies, and other defendants will be willing or quick to help you. Turn to the Chicago personal injury lawyers of Friedman & Bonebrake, P.C. to ensure that your rights are properly protected and that you receive the compensation that you deserve for your injuries.

Q: What does premises liability mean?
A: The term premises liability refers to the duty of care that property owners owe to guests. There are different standards of care for different kinds of guests: business owners are more responsible for their customers than homeowners are for their visitors. However, business owners and homeowners alike have a duty to address potential hazards on their property and warn guests of any risks.

Q: What is comparative negligence?
A: Comparative negligence is a legal doctrine that allows you to win compensation for an injury even if you are partially responsible for the accident. The damages you can be awarded will be adjusted to reflect your share of the blame. For example, if you are 20% responsible for an accident, and the other party is 80% responsible, they may be ordered to pay for 80% of your medical expenses.
In Illinois, you can only file a personal injury claim if you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. If a judge determines that the accident was primarily your fault, your claim may be dismissed
