How We Fight for Your Maximum Compensation
Insurance companies are businesses focused on minimizing payouts. Our job is to level the playing field. We build a comprehensive claim that accounts for all of your losses, including:
- Economic Damages: This includes all current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and diminished earning capacity.
- Non-Economic Damages: This compensates you for pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.
We achieve this by conducting a thorough investigation, gathering all necessary evidence, and engaging in aggressive negotiations with the insurer. If they refuse to offer a fair settlement, we are always prepared to take your case to trial in the Kane County courts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases
How much is my personal injury claim worth?
The value of your claim depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, the total cost of your medical treatment, the amount of lost income, and the impact on your quality of life. We can give you a more accurate assessment after reviewing the details of your case during a free consultation.
Should I talk to the other party’s insurance adjuster?
It is best not to give a recorded statement or sign any documents from an insurance company without first speaking to an attorney. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that can limit their company’s liability. We can handle all communications on your behalf to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Illinois?
In Illinois, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions, and it is crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and build the strongest possible case.
What does “contingency fee” mean?
A contingency fee arrangement means that our legal fee is a percentage of the final settlement or verdict we obtain for you. If we are not successful in recovering any money, you owe us absolutely nothing for our time and effort. This makes justice accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
