If you are injured in a crash with a negligent driver, you may be left with expensive damages and major losses. Filing a car accident claim against the other driver can help you get payment for your losses, but this takes a detailed investigation. For most people, returning to the scene of the crash to find evidence is not possible. This is only part of why seeing a lawyer after a crash is so important.
At the Law Office of J. Francis Barker, P.C., our Orland Park, IL car accident attorney can help you build a case against the driver responsible for your injuries. As a solo attorney, Jaime Barker will give your case his full attention – your case will not get passed off to a less experienced lawyer.
Do I Need Proof of My Injuries After an Accident on I-80?
Every personal injury case is only as good as the evidence behind it. After any crash — especially on a busy highway like I-80 — you need to get medical attention right away. Even if you feel only a little uncomfortable at first, hidden injuries such as whiplash or internal trauma can take hours or days to appear. A prompt medical exam creates official records that link your condition directly to the accident.
