How the Personal Injury Claim Process Works

Many people hesitate to file a claim because they don’t know what to expect. Here’s how the process works:

Free Consultation – We review your case and explain your legal options
Investigation & Evidence Collection – Our team gathers accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions
Negotiation with Insurance Companies – We handle all communication and fight for the highest possible settlement
Filing a Lawsuit (if Necessary) – If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we take your case to court and fight aggressively on your behalf
Securing Compensation – Once we win, we ensure you receive your payment as quickly as possible

Illinois Personal Injury Laws: What You Need to Know

You don’t need to be a legal expert—we handle that. Here’s what matters:

Time is Limited: Illinois law gives you two years from the accident to file a claim. Wait too long, and you lose your right to compensation.
Determining Fault: Illinois follows modified comparative negligence, meaning if you’re less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages.
Compensation Covers More Than Just Bills: We fight for medical costs, lost wages, future expenses, pain and suffering, and more.

The legal system is designed to make you give up or accept a lowball settlement. We make sure that doesn’t happen.
