Critical Dual-County Expertise for Your Injury Claim
The precise location of your accident in Wayne determines which court will hear your case. This is a crucial detail that demands an attorney with versatile local experience. Our firm is one of the few with extensive, regular experience in both:

- Kane County Cases (Geneva): If your injury happened in the Kane County portion of the village, your case will be heard at the 16th Judicial Circuit Court in Geneva. We are also seasoned litigators in this courthouse. Information can be found at the 16th Judicial Circuit Court website.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wayne Injury Claims
My accident happened in Wayne. How do you know which county to file in?
The correct jurisdiction for a personal injury claim is determined by the precise location where the accident occurred. Our first step is to conduct a thorough investigation to confirm whether the case belongs in the DuPage County or Kane County court system, a critical detail we handle immediately.
Does it matter which courthouse my case is in?
Yes. While Illinois state law applies everywhere, the local rules, procedures, and even the makeup of potential juries differ between DuPage and Kane counties. Having an attorney with deep experience in the correct courthouse is a significant advantage.
What is my case worth?
The value of a claim is based on the full extent of your damages, including all past and future medical expenses, lost income and earning capacity, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and the overall impact the injury has had on your life.
How long do I have to file a claim in Illinois?
For most personal injury cases in Illinois, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. It is vital to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your right to file a lawsuit before this deadline expires.
