Personal Injury Attorneys

Each year, millions of Americans sustain an injury through no fault of their own, and in many cases, these personal injuries require expensive emergency room visits, follow up medical treatment, loss of work and possibly even long-term or lifelong disabilities.

While focusing on your medical needs and recovery should be your first concern after suffering from any type of personal injury, once your health is stable, the next important step you should take is meeting with an experienced personal injury lawyer to find out if you are eligible for compensation for your injuries and losses. The reason that meeting with an attorney so soon after an accident is important is that, in Illinois, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim and, therefore, seeking a settlement is typically 2 years from the date of the accident (or from the time you became aware of the injury).
