Questions before you hire
Do I pay personal injury lawyer fees upfront?
No. They handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, charge no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered, advance case-building costs and provide a free initial consultation.
How long does a personal injury case take?
Some claims resolve through settlement in a few months. Others take longer when liability is disputed or the case goes to trial, and they wait for injuries to stabilize when necessary to assess damages.
Can I recover compensation if I was partly at fault in Illinois?
Possibly. Illinois allows recovery when the injured person is not more than 50 percent at fault, but reduces the award by that person’s percentage of fault.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Illinois?
In most Illinois personal injury cases, the limitation period is two years from the injury date. Different deadlines may apply to government, medical-malpractice and minor-injury claims.
What types of personal injury cases does this firm handle?
They handle serious personal injury and wrongful death matters, including vehicle accidents, brain and spinal injuries, medical malpractice, nursing-home abuse, construction accidents, premises liability, workers’ compensation and railroad claims.
