(FAQs)
1. How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Our fee is only collected if we win your case.
2. How long does a car accident case take to settle?
Most cases settle within 6 to 12 months, but complex cases or those requiring a trial may take longer.
3. What should I do if the insurance company denies my claim?
If your claim is denied, contact us immediately. We can appeal the decision and, if needed, file a lawsuit to secure fair compensation.
4. Can I file a claim if I am partially at fault?
Yes. Under Illinois comparative negligence laws, you can still receive compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault.
5. What if the at-fault driver was uninsured?
You may still recover compensation through your uninsured motorist coverage. We’ll guide you through the process and ensure you get the maximum payout.
