If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, hire a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more time insurance companies have to strategize. Also, evidence fades, and witnesses forget things over time.
Illinois law also limits how long you have to act. Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years. However, the sooner you start, the stronger your evidence will be. Hiring a lawyer early allows your attorney to preserve proof, talk to witnesses, and handle communication with insurance companies before costly mistakes happen.
If you’re ready to hire a personal injury lawyer from Shea Law Group, call (773) 365-0040 or schedule your free consultation online. We are only compensated after winning your case, so you have nothing to lose. If you’re still not sure whether you should be reaching out to a lawyer, keep reading.
When You Should Call a Lawyer Right Away
Certain situations almost always call for professional legal help. These situations include:
-
Severe or long-term injuries:
Serious injuries often lead to months of medical treatment, therapy, and missed work. A lawyer ensures those costs are fully accounted for.
-
Insurance delays or low offers:
Adjusters may sound sympathetic, but their goal is to pay you as little as possible. An attorney can push back and demand fair compensation.
-
Disputed fault:
If the other side tries to blame you, a lawyer gathers the evidence and fights to prove the truth.
-
Commercial or multi-party accidents:
Cases involving trucking companies, rideshare services, or contractors can get complicated fast. Those companies have their own lawyers, and you should too.
-
Pressure to settle or sign paperwork:
Never sign anything or give a statement before getting legal advice. What seems harmless could jeopardize your claim.
If any of these situations sound familiar, don’t wait. A free consultation with Shea Law Group can give you answers, guidance, and the confidence to move forward before your rights are at risk. Since we operate on a contingency-fee basis (meaning you only pay if and when we win), you have nothing to lose by scheduling your consultation as quickly as possible.
What if My Injuries Seem Minor?
It’s common to feel fine right after an accident, only to experience pain or stiffness days later. Even “minor” injuries can lead to missed work, medical expenses, or lasting discomfort. Calling early doesn’t mean committing to a lawsuit. It’s simply smart planning, and a chance to understand your options before the insurance company closes the door. It also costs nothing, and will not unless and until we win compensation for you.
What a Personal Injury Lawyer Does for You
Good attorneys do far more than file paperwork. They handle every piece of the process so you can focus on healing:
- Investigating and preserving evidence
- Managing all communication with insurers
- Calculating the full value of your damages — not just the bills you’ve seen so far
- Negotiating for maximum compensation
- Preparing for trial if a fair settlement isn’t offered
That’s what we do every day at Shea Law Group, and it’s why so many Chicago families trust us after serious accidents. Learn more about how we handle personal injury cases at Shea Law Group.
