Frequently Asked Questions

What is workers' compensation, and how can you help me with a claim?

Workers’ compensation provides medical benefits and wage replacement for employees injured on the job. We come alongside you in the process to ensure you receive the benefits you’re entitled to, assist you in navigating the claim process, and fight for fair settlements if and when insurance companies try to minimize your compensation.

Do you handle all types of auto accidents?

Yes, we represent clients in all types of vehicle accidents, including car crashes, truck accidents, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, rideshare accidents, and train accidents. We understand the unique challenges each type of accident can present.

What should I bring to my initial consultation?

Bring any documents that are relevant to your case, including medical records, accident reports, photographs, witness contact information, insurance correspondence, and employment records if it’s a work injury. If you don’t have everything, we can help you gather missing documentation.

How quickly should I contact a lawyer after my injury?

The sooner, the better. Important evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories fade, and legal deadlines approach quickly. In Illinois, you typically have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, while workers’ compensation claims may be filed for up to three years after the incident; however, it is worth noting that unique circumstances may have different deadlines.

Do I need to have all my medical treatment completed before contacting you?

No. In fact, it’s often better to contact us early in your treatment process. We can help ensure you’re getting proper medical care, guide you through insurance issues, and protect your rights from the beginning.

How do you determine the value of a case?

We consider multiple factors, such as medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, impact on your quality of life, and other damages specific to your situation. Our decades of experience help us accurately assess what your case is worth.

How long does it take to resolve a personal injury or workers' comp case?

Every case is unique. Some cases settle within months, while complex cases involving serious injuries may take longer to ensure you receive fair compensation. We strive to work efficiently while making sure we don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle out of court, but we’re fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary. Our trial experience gives us leverage in negotiations and ensures insurance companies take your case seriously.

How often will I receive updates on my case progress?

We provide regular updates and seek to always be available to answer your questions. The frequency of updates depends on case activity, but we ensure you’re never left wondering what’s happening with your case.
