Services FAQ

What types of cases do you handle?

We represent clients in car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, and public transit crashes; medical malpractice; nursing home abuse and neglect; product liability; premises liability; workers’ compensation; and wrongful death.

How do fees work?

We work on a contingency fee. You pay no attorney’s fees unless we obtain a recovery for you.

How soon should I contact a lawyer?

Immediately. Early evidence collection—photos, witnesses, medical documentation—can significantly strengthen your claim.

What is the deadline to file in Illinois?

Many personal injury claims must be filed within two years. Some claims have different timelines. Contact us promptly so we can protect your rights.

What happens in a free consultation?

We evaluate your case, explain your options, and outline next steps—no pressure and no upfront cost.

How long does a personal injury case take in Illinois?

It depends on injury severity, treatment length, insurance cooperation,
and whether a lawsuit is needed. Some claims resolve in a few months, while
complex cases may take a year or longer. We can give a realistic timeline
after reviewing your facts and records.

How long does it take to receive a settlement check?

After a settlement is signed, payment timing usually depends on insurer
processing, lien resolution, and final paperwork. Many clients receive funds
within a few weeks, but delays can happen in more complex cases. We keep
clients updated at each step.

What evidence helps strengthen my injury claim?

Helpful evidence includes photos, videos, witness details, police or
incident reports, medical records, bills, wage-loss proof, and communications
from insurers. The earlier this evidence is preserved, the stronger your claim
can be.

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Illinois follows modified comparative fault. You may still recover
compensation if you are not more than 50% at fault, but your recovery can be
reduced by your share of fault. We analyze liability evidence to protect your
position.

Should I talk to the insurance adjuster before hiring a lawyer?

You can report basic facts, but avoid detailed recorded statements or
accepting quick offers before legal review. Early statements can affect claim
value. We can handle insurance communication on your behalf.

How much is my case worth?

Case value depends on medical costs, lost income, future care, pain and
suffering, liability strength, and available insurance coverage. There is no
universal number. We provide a case-specific valuation after reviewing records
and evidence.

Do I need to see a doctor even if I feel okay after an accident?

Yes. Some injuries appear hours or days later. Prompt medical evaluation
protects your health and creates documentation that can be important for your
claim.
