What Kind of Attorney Do You Need?
Personal Injury Lawyer
Victims of personal injury accidents can recover costs from the at-fault party through a lawsuit or insurance claim. When an accident occurs due to negligence, injured victims can be left with staggering medical expenses. This, coupled with lost wages during recovery, creates additional stress for victims struggling to navigate a lawsuit. Personal injury attorney Terry W. Dodds dedicates his career to alleviating the stress undergone by accident victims, helping them recover full and fair compensation.
Trucking Accident Lawyer
The massive size of semi-trucks contributes to more severe accidents and injuries than a typical motor vehicle crash. In these cases, victims may be able to hold an at-fault truck driver, a negligent trucking company, or an irresponsible manufacturer, liable for their crash. Truck accident lawyer Terry Dodds will review the details of your case, help you calculate fair compensation, and determine the liable party or parties responsible for your accident.
Car Accident Lawyer
The top causes of car accidents in America are tied to negligent driving behavior. Distracted driving, driving while intoxicated, speeding, failing to adhere to traffic signs and signals, and other reckless behaviors cause countless injuries annually. When you’ve been hurt as a result of a negligent driver, car accident attorney Terry Dodds can help you recover compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company.
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle riders are especially vulnerable when navigating Illinois roadways. The reduced protections provided by the small vehicle leave riders at risk of serious injuries when an accident occurs. Motorcycle accident victims often sustain injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, amputation, disfigurement, broken bones, neck and spine injuries, and severe road rash. Motorcycle accident attorney Terry Dodds helps victims recover costs for their extensive medical treatment, as well as compensation for the pain and suffering they endured. As of this writing, Bloomington personal injury lawyer Terry Dodds helped recover a combined $2.725 million for two clients of Dodds Law Office, PC, injured in motorcycle accidents.
Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer
Slip and fall accident claims are a type of premises liability claim. Premises liability law places property owners with a duty of care to occupants and visitors. This duty includes keeping the business, building, or other property free of foreseeable hazards. When a victim is injured by a foreseeable hazard on a property, he or she can sue the property owner for damages.
Workers’ Compensation Attorney
The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act requires employers to maintain insurance coverage to provide for employees when a workplace accident occurs. After a work injury, employees can recover temporary or permanent disability benefits, lost wages, medical costs, and other costs associated with the injury. Working with a workers’ compensation attorney to recover damages ensures that injured employees are protected from unfair settlement offers and bad faith insurance tactics.
Workers’ Compensation Claim Denials Attorney
When a workers’ compensation claim is denied, claimants have the right to file an appeal. Claimants must initiate this appeal within 30 days of receiving the denial. Workers’ compensation claims are often initially denied due to clerical errors, lack of sufficient evidence, or bad faith insurance tactics. Workers’ compensation attorney Terry Dodds can help victims dispute these denials and obtain a fair settlement.
