Do I need a Belleville IL personal injury attorney?
A personal injury accident can be a traumatic experience especially if it involves injuries or fatalities. Many accident victims or surviving family members are unaware of possible monetary compensation available for the physical and emotional suffering from an injury or loss. The prominent Belleville IL personal injury firm of Katzman & Sugden, LLC represents injury victims and pursues the maximum monetary compensation available on their behalf.
Personal injuries can include soft tissue damage, broken bones, dislocations, amputations, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain damage, internal organ damage, birth injuries, burns, coma or death. Serious injuries can result in disfigurement or lifetime disabilities. It is important to seek legal advice and contact a personal injury lawyer following a personal injury accident.
An experienced injury attorney near me can ensure the protection of compensation rights and represent the best interests of the victims during the entire insurance and legal process. A seasoned attorney understands how insurance companies operate by attempting to settle quickly for the smallest amount paid out by withholding available compensation, redirecting blame or denying valid claims. Insurance companies, investigators and claims adjusters can be intimidating and the claims process can be complex.
It is never a good idea to settle a claim without first speaking with a personal injury attorney from our office. We can evaluate a claim, investigate the circumstances of the accident and consult with experts regarding your case.

This firm was recommended as a part of my legal plan offering advise. I did not ask this firm to represent me but to honor their agreement with MetLife legal and provide advise. This firm refused to assist because they don't take cases in my area. I am not asking them to take my case. I was asking for advice relevant to the state of IL jurisdiction. The lady that called me was nice. But the lawyers unwillingness to honor her agreement with MetLife is disappointing. The fact that they don't handle cases in my area is irrelevent. 1 star for poor customer service.
Great people in general, between staff and the lawyers you just can’t beat the honesty they give you. They do their best for you in the court of law. I have hired Katzman & Sugden twice and I will keep hiring them.
I highly recommend the professionalism and expertise of the attorneys at Katzman & Sugden. Their firm gives clients the quality legal support and service they deserve.
