Frequently Asked Questions

How much is my injury case worth?

It depends on medical costs, lost income, and pain. We fight to help you win the largest settlement possible.

Do I have to go to court?

Not always. Most cases settle. But we’re ready to litigate if needed.

Can I afford a lawyer?

Yes. We charge nothing unless we win. Consultations are also free.

What if I was partly at fault?

You can still recover damages. Illinois follows comparative fault laws.

How do I begin?

Call us or fill out our form. We handle everything else.

Understanding Modified Comparative Negligence in Chicago

Illinois uses the modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar. This means:

  • You can still recover compensation if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident.

  • If you are 51% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering damages.

  • Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Example:

If a court finds you 20% at fault in a car crash and your total damages are $100,000, you’d receive $80,000.

This rule makes it essential to have skilled legal representation. Insurance companies often try to assign more fault to reduce payouts. A personal injury attorney will protect your interests and ensure a fair assessment.
