Attorneys for Serious Injuries Caused by Negligence in Joliet
Contact Us Today
Serious injuries can occur in a wide variety of situations. A person could be injured in the middle of an ordinary commute, during a routine visit to a store, at home, or in many other circumstances. When injuries have been caused by the negligence of another person or company, a victim may struggle to address the ways their life has been affected. Fortunately, they may have legal options, and with help from an attorney, they can take steps to secure compensation for their damages.
The lawyers at Newland & Newland, LLP work with injury victims to address the harm they have suffered, identify the parties who were responsible, and obtain full and fair financial compensation. We understand the difficulties people often face as they deal with the effects of serious injuries, and we are dedicated to helping our clients move forward and put their lives back together in these situations.
Personal Injury Cases Our Law Firm Handles
Our legal team represents people who have been injured in situations such as:
- Car Accidents: Collisions may be caused by drivers who are distracted, intoxicated, or reckless. We work with car accident victims to obtain compensation for their medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
- Truck Accidents: Crashes involving commercial semi-trucks, tankers, and delivery vehicles can result in catastrophic injuries. Our lawyers work to identify the parties who may be held liable for these accidents due to issues such as driver fatigue, improperly loaded cargo, or negligent maintenance.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists have almost no physical protection in a collision, and the injuries they suffer can be especially severe. Our lawyers help motorcycle riders obtain compensation for accidents caused by the negligence of other drivers.
- Rideshare Accidents: Crashes involving drivers working for Uber, Lyft, or similar services may involve complex issues related to liability and insurance coverage. Our team knows how to address these issues and help our clients recover compensation for accidents caused by rideshare drivers.
- Nursing Home Negligence: Residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities may be at risk of harm due to negligent care, lack of supervision, or intentional abuse. We work with families to address nursing home injuries and hold negligent facilities responsible.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners may be held liable for accidents and injuries that occur because they failed to maintain safe conditions on their premises. We can help injury victims recover compensation for accidents caused by wet floors, insufficient lighting, or other hazards.

Personal Injury FAQs
Fault may be established through a combination of evidence, such as police reports, witness statements, video footage, physical evidence from the scene of an accident, and analyses by accident reconstruction experts. Each party's contribution to causing an accident may be evaluated, and percentages of fault may be assigned. An injury victim can recover compensation as long as their share of fault is not higher than 50 percent.
The compensation an injury victim can receive may address different types of damages. A person's measurable financial losses are known as economic damages, and they may include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and property damage. Other types of damages that may not have a specific financial cost are known as non-economic damages, and they may include pain and suffering or emotional distress. Our lawyers can calculate the full value of a claim, accounting for all of a person's economic and non-economic damages.
When a person is incapacitated because of injuries in an accident or another situation where someone else was at fault, a family member or legal guardian may be able to bring a claim on their behalf. Our law firm works with families in these difficult circumstances, and we can help ensure that an injured person's rights will be fully protected.
Insurance companies are businesses that will work to protect their own financial interests. To minimize their financial losses, they will often take steps to pay out as little as possible when people file claims. Insurance adjusters may evaluate claims quickly and offer early settlements, hoping to resolve a claim by minimizing the amount that will be paid out. Early settlements will often fail to fully address an injury victim's actual losses. Our attorneys can speak to insurance companies on behalf of a client, and we can negotiate to ensure that settlements will fully cover a person's damages.
The timeline for a personal injury case may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the severity of a person's injuries. Cases involving relatively minor injuries and clear liability may be resolved in a matter of months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, multiple defendants, or disputes about liability may take a year or longer to resolve. Our lawyers will make sure the full extent of a person's injuries and long-term medical needs are understood before accepting a settlement, and we will work to resolve claims efficiently while maximizing the compensation our clients can receive.
