Driving anywhere requires your full attention, and Illinois is no different. Whether you’re in the city or a more rural area, you’re bound to come across some road hazards in our state. Even though you can’t avoid road hazards, you can be more prepared for them just by being aware that they exist. If you get into an auto wreck because of a road hazard, you might want to file a claim against whoever caused that obstruction from negligence.

Depending on the type of road hazard that caused your car accident, you could have a suit against a private company or the government. Either entity can be intimidating to be up against, which is why you’ll want Prince Law Firm in your corner. Our car accident lawyer can help you fight against the negligent party who caused your collision and get you the compensation that you deserve for your damages.

Backing up a car is a maneuver that takes patience, awareness, and the driver needs to adapt to the situation they’re in. While backing out of a driveway into an empty street can be a simple task, backing out of a parking space in a busy lot can be a bit more difficult. Unfortunately, if someone acts negligently and isn’t careful, they can cause a car accident. If this has happened to you, seeking legal options can help you recover the injuries and damages you’ve suffered.

Prince Law Firm has an experienced Marion car accident lawyer who will defend your rights. When we begin investigating your case, we’ll start with figuring out the series of events or actions that happened that resulted in a car accident. Let’s take a look at the situations where back-up accidents can arise.

In light of the spreading coronavirus pandemic, Prince Law Firm wants to do our part to contain its spread and to implement our government’s recommendations. We do this out of concern for the safety and health of our clients and hard-working staff. To protect everyone from any unnecessary risk of exposure to coronavirus (COVID-19), all future appointments will be conducted by telephone only. We anticipate that we will continue this policy through at least April 3, 2020.

The presence of COVID-19 is scary. Some of the information out there is correct and, unfortunately, some is not. We encourage anyone with questions about this pandemic to check out the information published by the CDC or WHO. If we all take reasonable precautions, we will be fine. Together, we will get through this.

After a car accident, like a hit-and-run, sometimes all you have from the driver at fault is their license plate number. You might want their name, address, and phone number so that you can hold them responsible for their actions. But can you get the driver’s personal information based on their plate?

As an average person, in short, the answer is no. You most likely don’t have direct access to the databases that hold information about drivers. Even though you can’t get anything directly, there are legal ways to find out who is responsible for a car crash based on their plate number.

Most drivers in Marion use I-57 on a regular basis. While it may allow some drivers to avoid city traffic and get on a road that’s a straight shot to their destination, there are also additional dangers with taking the interstate. Not only will there be city traffic, other drivers passing through Illinois may take this road, including large vehicles like trucks. When drivers don’t pay attention to the road, they can cause accidents. Since interstates typically have more vehicles traveling at high speeds, innocent drivers can sustain serious injuries. Let’s take a look at some of the accidents that have occurred on I-57.

Many personal injury cases are often settled outside the courtroom. However, sometimes a case takes that extra step. While it can be nerve-wracking to go to court, there are some ways for you to feel more confidence when you’re there. Your personal injury lawyer will be with you every step of the way. The lawyers at Prince Law Firm understand how much stress this situation can cause, but we’ve compiled a list of tips to help you deal with the nerves and feel like you’re ready to face the courtroom.

Think about where you live. Whether it’s a small town or a big city, how many pharmacies are in the immediate surrounding area? In Marion alone there are over ten pharmacies in a six mile stretch that serve a population of 17,762 people.

Though each pharmacy theoretically serves nearly 2,000 community members, is it necessary to have that many in one small area? Although the intent of pharmacies was originally to distribute necessary medicine to help people stay or get healthy, they’ve turned into distributors for seriously addictive painkillers.

If you’ve been injured at work and are planning on filing for workers’ compensation benefits, you may be wondering if you need to hire a lawyer. While there are certain situations where you can probably represent yourself, it’s often in your best interests to at least seek legal guidance from a skilled attorney.

Situations where you may be able to get the benefits you need without a lawyer include minor workplace injuries, injuries that require you miss no work, or accidents where your employer has admitted the injury happened at work. Even if you fall into a situation like that, there are still benefits to having a lawyer help you with your claim. Let’s take a look at the possibility of complications arising during the claims process.

2020 is bringing a number of new laws to Illinois. As the year progresses, you’ll see changes in education, consumer protection, rights and resources for inmates, labor and workers’ rights, protections for animals, safety on the road, law enforcement, insurance and medical care, and more.

At Prince Law Firm, we make sure to stay as up-to-date as possible on all the newest laws and amendments. Let’s start the year off by taking a look at just a few of the changes you can expect to see this year.

Every day, millions of patients are seen in hospitals and medical facilities across the country. Whether you’re heading in for a routine exam or a complex procedure, you expect to receive care that benefits your health. When a physician or other medical professional acts negligently and you’re injured, you have the right to file a medical malpractice claim. Doing so will put you on the path to receiving the compensation you need to get your life back in order.
