Insurance adjusters are trained specifically to limit what they pay. Logan Bierman practices personal injury law as an attorney with Driver Defense Team's dedicated injury team.
When you're injured because of someone else's negligence, you're dealing with insurance companies, medical bills, lost wages, and physical pain all at once. The last thing you need is to also figure out whether a settlement offer is fair.
Personal injury matters are handled on a contingency basis — no fee unless there's a recovery — with Driver Defense Team's injury team, where Logan practices directly.
Almost never. First offers are calibrated to be the minimum the adjuster thinks they can get away with. Once you sign a release, you can't go back for more, even if your injuries turn out to be worse than initially apparent.
Generally two years from the date of injury, or from the date of death for wrongful death claims. There are exceptions, but waiting is always risky — evidence disappears and witnesses forget.
If you're found 50% or less at fault, you can still recover, reduced by your percentage of fault. If you're more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing.
The fee is a percentage of your recovery. If there's no recovery, there's no fee — you pay nothing out of pocket to pursue a valid claim.
Logan practices DUI, traffic, and personal injury law alongside the attorneys, case managers, and legal assistants at Driver Defense Team — one of Illinois' largest dedicated driving-law firms.
