Personal Injury FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
In Illinois, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is 2 years from the date of injury. However, it's important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
What damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How long will my personal injury case take?
Every case is different. Simple cases may settle in a few months, while complex cases or those that go to trial can take 1-2 years or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
