Dual-County Expertise for Your Injury Claim
Where your accident occurred in Hanover Park determines which court will hear your case. This is a crucial detail that can impact your claim. Our firm has a strong track record of success in both possible jurisdictions:
- Cook County Cases: If your injury happened on the Cook County side of Hanover Park, your lawsuit will be filed in the Third Municipal District Courthouse in Rolling Meadows. We are seasoned litigators in the Circuit Court of Cook County.
- DuPage County Cases: If your injury occurred in the DuPage County portion of the village, your case will be heard at the DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton. We are formidable advocates in the 18th Judicial Circuit Court.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hanover Park Injury Claims
How do we know which county to file my lawsuit in?
The correct jurisdiction for a personal injury claim is determined by the location where the accident or injury occurred. We will immediately investigate the precise location to confirm whether your case belongs in the Cook County or DuPage County court system.
Does it matter which courthouse my case is in?
Yes. While Illinois state law applies everywhere, the local rules, procedures, and even the tendencies of judges and juries can differ between Cook and DuPage counties. Having a lawyer with deep experience in the correct courthouse is a significant advantage.
What is my case worth?
The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the total of your medical bills and lost wages, and the long-term impact on your ability to live a normal life. We will conduct a thorough analysis to determine the full and fair value of your case.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Illinois, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. It is critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your right to file a lawsuit.
