How The Process Works

Free Evaluation

Call or send the form. A partner — not a call center — reviews what happened and tells you honestly whether you have a case. The evaluation is free, by phone, in person, or at your home.

Meet Your Attorney

You meet Dan or Ron, get your attorney’s direct cell number, and we start preserving evidence right away — photographs, witness statements, and vehicle data — before the insurer’s investigators get ahead of you.

Build Your Case

We handle every aspect of your claim — medical bills, lost wages, records, and every call from the insurance companies — while you focus on getting better.

Negotiation or Litigation

Most cases settle. When the offer is too low, we are ready to try your case — several of our largest recoveries came after refusing lowball pre-trial offers.

What To Know About Your Case

After a crash, you're dealing with medical bills, missed work, and an insurance adjuster who calls before you've even healed — and the answers you find online rarely fit Illinois law. Below are straight answers to the questions Chicago drivers ask us most, drawn from 40+ years of handling motor-vehicle cases. If your question isn't here, call us — the consultation is free, and you'll speak with your attorney, not a call center.

Get medical care first — see a doctor, or go to the ER if it’s urgent. Don’t give a statement to the other driver’s insurance company. Then talk to an attorney promptly so photographs, witness statements, and vehicle data are preserved. Call us and we’ll walk you through the next steps for free.
Honestly, it depends on the facts: fault, your medical bills, lost wages, and whether your injuries are permanent — no lawyer can responsibly quote a number up front. After 40+ years handling Illinois crash cases, we can give you a realistic assessment once we review yours. The evaluation is free.
Generally two years from the date of injury — and it can be shorter when a government entity is involved. Evidence disappears far sooner than that. The safest move is to call early; it costs nothing to find out where you stand.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency: no retainer, and the fee — usually 33% — comes out of what we recover for you. If you recover nothing, you owe us no fee. The consultation is free.
No — don’t give them a statement. Their investigators are working to reduce what they pay you. Refer them to your attorney and let us handle every call.
We’ll come to you. Free case evaluations happen by phone, at our Loop office at 121 W Wacker Dr, or at your home anywhere in the Chicago area.

How Can Our Award-Winning
Attorneys Help You?

Tell us what happened. If we take your case, you pay nothing up front and no fee unless we win — and you can reach your attorney directly, any day. In Illinois, most injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash, and key evidence disappears much sooner. Call now, before the insurance company builds its version of the story.
