Frequently Asked Questions
We know the legal process can be overwhelming, especially after an injury. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from our clients.
I was injured at work, but my employer says I’m not eligible for workers’ compensation. What should I do?
Many employers try to deny valid workers’ compensation claims. If you were injured on the job, you have rights—even if your employer claims otherwise. You do not have to prove fault to receive benefits. Contact us immediately so we can help you challenge a wrongful denial and ensure you get the medical care and compensation you deserve.
The insurance company offered me a settlement after my car accident. Should I accept it?
Insurance companies often make quick, lowball settlement offers to minimize their payouts. Accepting an early offer could leave you with unpaid medical bills and future expenses. Before you agree to anything, speak with our attorneys to determine if the offer fairly compensates you for your injuries and losses.
I slipped and fell in a store but wasn’t sure if I was hurt at the time. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. Some injuries, like concussions or soft tissue damage, don’t show immediate symptoms but can worsen over time. If your fall was due to a hazardous condition, you may have a case. It’s important to document the incident, seek medical attention, and contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident? Can I still recover compensation?
Illinois follows comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility. We can help you determine how fault is calculated and fight for the best possible outcome.
What if my loved one passed away due to someone else’s negligence? Can I file a claim?
If your family member lost their life due to another party’s negligence, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. This can provide compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering. We understand this is a difficult time, and we are here to guide you through the legal process with compassion and care.
