Not every injury happens at work. Car crashes, medical mistakes, defective products—when someone else’s carelessness causes harm, Illinois law gives you the right to compensation.
A personal injury happens when you’re harmed because someone else was negligent, reckless, or intentionally harmful. Unlike workers’ comp, personal injury cases require proving someone else screwed up and that’s what hurt you.
⚠️ Important:
If a third party caused your work injury, you might have BOTH claims.
Workers' comp AND personal injury. If your work injury involves a third party, we maximize both claims.
We've won millions for Illinois injury victims.
Zero cost unless we recover compensation for you.
30+ years fighting for injured Illinoisans
Distracted drivers, DUIs, reckless driving. If someone hit you, you may be entitled to compensation.
Commercial trucks cause catastrophic damage. Multiple parties can be held liable—we pursue them all.
Owners must maintain their facilities in safe condition. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises; it is their responsibility.
We pursue medical malpractice cases involving provider negligence. We hold healthcare providers accountable.
Dangerous products cause serious injuries. Manufacturers face strict liability.
We help families pursue wrongful death claims to seek justice and fair compensation. But justice is important.
Simple car accidents: 3-6 months. Complex cases (medical malpractice, truck accidents): 2-4 years. Quality takes time.
Illinois follows the 51% rule. As long as you’re less than 51% responsible, you can still recover damages—reduced by your percentage of fault.
Depends on: severity of injuries, medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, defendant’s conduct, and available insurance. We’ll give you a realistic estimate.
Economic: Medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, property damage
Non-economic: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment
Punitive: In cases of extreme negligence (drunk driving, intentional harm)
Generally 2 years from injury date. Medical malpractice has different rules. Miss the deadline = lose your right to compensation forever.
Check your policy for uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. You can also sue the negligent driver directly, though collecting can be challenging. If other parties share liability (bars that overserved drunk drivers, municipalities with dangerous roads), we pursue those claims too.
