Dedicated Representation for All Types of Injury Claims in Algonquin
Our law firm has the experience and resources to handle a wide variety of personal injury cases. We understand the unique factors involved in each type of claim and are prepared to build a powerful case on your behalf.
Vehicle Accidents
Collisions involving cars, trucks, and motorcycles are a leading cause of serious injury. We represent victims of all types of crashes, holding negligent drivers and trucking companies accountable for the harm they cause. We provide dedicated counsel for car accidents, complex truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents throughout the Algonquin area.
Premises Liability (Slip and Fall)
Property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for resulting injuries. We represent clients injured in slip and fall accidents caused by hazards like wet floors, icy sidewalks, or poor maintenance.
Dog Bite Injuries
Illinois law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries their pets cause. We help victims of animal attacks, especially children, recover the compensation they need for medical treatment, plastic surgery for scarring, and emotional trauma. Learn more about our dog bite injury representation.
Wrongful Death Claims
In the most tragic cases, where an accident leads to a fatality, we provide compassionate and determined legal support for the surviving family members. We file wrongful death claims to seek justice and financial stability for families who have lost a loved one.
Your Case in the McHenry County Court System | Local Proof
A critical factor in your personal injury case is your attorney’s familiarity with the local court system. As Algonquin is primarily located in McHenry County, any serious injury lawsuit would be filed and litigated at the **McHenry County Courthouse in Woodstock**. Our attorneys appear in this courthouse regularly. We know the local court rules, the procedures, and the judiciary, which gives our clients a significant advantage over firms that are not local to the area.
Maximizing Your Recovery: No Fee Unless We Win
After an injury, the last thing you should worry about is how to afford a lawyer. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay absolutely no upfront costs, and we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you.
We fight to get you compensation for all of your losses, including:
- All related medical bills, from emergency care at a hospital like Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital to future physical therapy and rehabilitation.
- Lost wages and any decrease in your future earning capacity.
- Pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of a normal life.
Frequently Asked Questions for Algonquin Injury Victims
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Illinois?
For most injury cases, the Illinois statute of limitations is two years from the date the injury occurred. This is a strict deadline, and it is vital to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
No. We strongly advise against giving a recorded statement to the at-fault party’s insurance adjuster without first speaking to an attorney. Their job is to find ways to minimize or deny your claim, and they can use your words against you.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Under Illinois’s “modified comparative negligence” rule, you can still recover damages as long as you were not 50% or more responsible for the accident. Your final compensation award would be reduced by your percentage of fault.
