What Constitutes a PI Case in Skokie, IL?

Personal Injuries appear in many cases, but some things that remain constant in all injury claims in Illinois

If you have sustained an injury from an automobile accident, slip and fall, or animal attack in Skokie, it is imperative that you understand your legal rights, and how any personal injury claim is likely to go forward.

Common Elements of a Personal Injury Claim in Illinois

In almost every Personal Injury claim, the injured individual must be able to establish four elements to win their case in Skokie. The four elements that the injured party must establish are: 1) that the defendant (the party that caused the injury) was negligent, 2) that the cause of the injury was the defendant's negligence, 3) that the defendant's actions caused the injured party's (the plaintiff's) injuries, and 4) that your lawsuit has been brought timely and before the statute of limitations has run.

It is necessary that you do not sit on your rights, and delay the filing of your case. In Illinois, you must file your case within a specific amount of time, before the statute of limitations runs out. If you fail to do this, you could lose any chance at recovery that you may once have had.

Life in Skokie

The picturesque town of Skokie, Illinois is located just sixteen miles from the state capital of Chicago, and twelve miles from Chicago O'Hare International airport. Comprised of 10.2 square miles, Skokie is a popular town for city workers to live in, and was awarded the Illinois "Governor's Award" as well as being recognized as an "All American City" by the National Civil League.

Out of the entire country, Skokie was the first community to have a nationally accredited fire, police and public works department -- a distinction that places Skokie as a model city to many others inside and outside of the state. With all the awards and attention, it is no wonder that Skokie was named one of the 80 fastest growing suburbs in the nation.

Also on the rise in Skokie are lawyers. Whether working in Chicago or Skokie, local lawyers are skilled in anything a client may need whether it is a high stakes divorce or drafting a simple deed. Many lawyers come from the local law schools in Chicago, including University of Chicago Law School.

Skokie gets its unique name from the Native American term for fire. Skokie is home to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education center, and the city's large Jewish population makes it the only Illinois city that has more Jewish schools than Catholic schools. The North Shore Center for Performing arts is located in Skokie and provides the city with many cultural events and concerts every year.
