Injured and in Need of a Professional Lawyer
Friday, June 19th, 2009I was searching for a personal injury lawyer in Chicago had to assist me with my case. I had been shopping at my local grocery store when someone on the other side of the aisle caused an avalanche of glass pasta sauce jars to come crashing down on my legs and feet. I suffered from several deep lacerations and required many stitches on my feet and legs. While the person that knocked into the stacks of sauce with their cart caused the injury, I knew that store should be held liable for stacking glass jars in such a dangerous manner.
The first personal injury lawyer in Chicago found was unable to give me direct answers to my questions. I really did not know how to go about finding a lawyer so I looked in the yellow pages and called the first personal injury lawyer that I found. Not only did he seem unsympathetic towards my injuries but he also seemed like he was very busy and would eagerly accept the first offer that would be made for a settlement.
Although I did want to be fairly compensated for my injuries, I also wanted my lawsuit to send a message to other grocers that this stacking method was unsafe. Had there been a little child standing next to me, they surely would have suffered massive injuries and possibly even died. I really wasn’t entirely concerned about collecting money as much as I was concerned about safety and liability. By accepting the first offer that the insurance company offered me, I knew that my message of safety and liability would get entirely lost.
After doing some more investigation I found a personal injury lawyer in Chicago had that was quite impressive. The long lists of cases that had been won were comprehensive and the success rate was close to perfect. I knew that if I could hire this lawyer to take my case that they would have the knowledge and experience to effectively obtain a fair monetary compensation and send a message out to others that this type of accident could easily be avoided.
I met with the attorney for a free conference right away and was even more impressed by the integrity and level of understanding that he demonstrated. I knew that I had made the right decision. I was very certain that when I headed into court that I would be satisfied with the results.
