Illinois rules, in plain English

What's different about a Chicago case

Every state has its own rules. These three matter most for Illinois clients. General information, not advice about your case.

Deadlines vary. Act early.How long you have depends on the type of case and who is responsible. Some claims, such as those against a government agency, have deadlines measured in months, not years. Medical cases and injury cases have their own clocks. Call early, and we find the deadline that applies to you.
Partly your fault?Illinois reduces your recovery by your share of the blame, and a large share can bar recovery completely. How fault is assigned matters. That is our fight.
Medical bills and liensIllinois limits how much hospitals and providers can take from your settlement. We handle every lien so more of the money stays with you.

Injury cases in Chicago: what to know

Chicago recorded 109 traffic deaths in 2024 and 100 in 2025, the lowest number since 2016, according to city data reported by the Chicago Sun-Times and Block Club Chicago.

Car and truck crashes, CTA bus crashes and falls on unsafe property are among the cases we handle across Chicago and Cook County.

Illinois rules that shape your case

  • Shared fault. Illinois reduces your compensation by your share of the blame. If your share is more than 50%, you recover nothing. How fault is assigned matters, and that is our fight.
  • Insurance limits are low. Illinois' minimum liability coverage is $25,000 per person and $50,000 per crash for injuries. Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can matter.
  • Medical liens. Illinois limits how much hospitals and medical providers can take from your settlement. We handle every lien so more of the money stays with you.
  • Deadlines vary. How long you have depends on the type of case and who is responsible. Claims against a government agency, such as the CTA or the City, can have shorter or special deadlines. Call early, and we find the deadline that applies to you.

Where your case is handled

Larger injury lawsuits in Chicago are usually filed in the Law Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, at the Daley Center. Most cases settle before trial. When an insurer will not pay fairly, we are ready to try the case.

Common cases we handle in Chicago

What to do now

  1. Get medical care, and follow up. Gaps in treatment are used against you.
  2. Do not give a recorded statement to an insurer.
  3. Save photos, witness names and the police or incident report number.
  4. Ask for video right away. See how long camera footage is kept.
  5. Call us. The consultation is free, and there is no fee or cost unless we recover money for you.
