Frequently Asked Questions About Hoffman Estates Injury Claims
My accident happened on I-90 in Hoffman Estates. How do you know which county to file in?
The jurisdiction for an accident on I-90 depends on the specific mile marker where it occurred. Our first step is to conduct a thorough investigation, including reviewing police reports, to definitively establish whether the case belongs in Cook County or Kane County. This is a critical detail we handle immediately.
What is my personal injury case worth?
The value of your claim is based on the full extent of your damages, including your past and future medical bills, lost income and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of a normal life. We conduct a detailed analysis to calculate the maximum compensation you are owed.
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 vital to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your right to file a lawsuit before this deadline expires.
Should I give a statement to the insurance adjuster?
No. You should politely decline to give a recorded statement until you have consulted with an attorney. Insurance adjusters are trained to protect their company’s bottom line, and anything you say can be used against you. Let us handle all communications on your behalf.
