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 law 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after I have been injured in an accident?
The first thing you should do is seek medical attention immediately. If you feel that the accident was due to the other driver’s negligent behavior, it is important to speak with an injury lawyer as soon as possible after the incident occurred to ensure that you stay on the right track to help you get the compensation for your medical bills and property damage that you deserve.
I was told by another attorney that I don’t have a case. What can I do?
If you feel strongly that you deserve to receive compensation for injuries resulting from an accident, you should definitely get a second opinion. It’s possible that you do have a case and you can receive compensation for your injuries. Please contact our office to schedule a free consultation with one of our personal injury attorneys.
Can I expect for all of my medical bills to be paid for?
Obviously the ultimate goal of the personal injury attorneys at Katzman & Sugden, LLC is for you to receive full and complete compensation for not only your injuries, but also for any out-of-pocket expenses as well as property damage. Of course, each case is unique and to get a better idea of what type of damages you might receive it is best to speak personally with one of our vehicle accident attorneys.
What is no-fault insurance?
Basically, no-fault insurance is when your insurance contract covers your losses up to a certain level. No state is a pure no-fault state, which would mean that you couldn’t file a suit to seek further damages in an accident or other incident where that person was at fault. Fortunately, depending on your circumstances, you still have the legal right to file a suit to seek compensation for pain and suffering. It is best to speak with an attorney to determine whether you qualify.
Daniel Katzman it’s the best Lawyer I have ever witnessed in my life. When I say the communication is beyond 100% he is amazing very polite and very, very responsive. As you all know, that’s not always the case with lawyers I don’t know what position he is in or how their salary works, but he definitely needs a promotion or promotions because when I tell you, he is awesome. I’m not saying it just to say it you have to experience it for yourself. He is amazing.
First off Mr.Katzman was very professional and resourceful! Anytime I had a question or concern He responded back in a timely manner! I was never out the loop, He always kept me updated on what was going on! Mr.Katzman worked very hard to make sure my son and I was taken care of and He checked on us often!!

Working with Danny was seamless. He was extremely responsive, promptly addressed the situation, and ultimately achieved my desired outcome. I would highly recommend his services to those who are in need of representation.
Steve Katzman has now represented me twice, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. Having worked with other attorneys in the past, I’ve never experienced this level of consistent communication and availability. Steve is approachable and easy to talk to. I’ve never once felt intimidated or like I couldn’t be myself. Everyone at Katzman & Sugden is laid-back, respectful, and responsive, and I always felt informed about every aspect of my case.

I believe in Mr Katzman and Ms Sugden 100%. They fought hard for me and my children. They never gave up on me and was always available no matter what.

The entire office showed my family that we matter, the admiralties assistant Linda was amazing, she comforted me and my children as we were going through with very kind words.
