Absolutely. Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence system, which means you can pursue compensation as long as you’re not more than 50% at fault. Your percentage of responsibility will reduce your settlement, but you still have legal rights. Don’t let guilt or uncertainty stop you from seeking the compensation you deserve.

We Handle the Legal Matters and Insurance Issues While You Focus on Healing
We know how insurance companies work. When dealing with an auto accident claim, their goal is to maximize their own profits and minimize the amount of compensation paid to you. Oftentimes, these companies know that injured people are unable to work and are worried about mounting medical bills, and they count on this to pressure victims into accepting lowball settlements. But a knowledgeable car accident lawyer can help you fight back.
As powerful and dedicated legal advocates, we will take on the insurance company while you focus on getting well again. We can help you assess the true cost of your injuries, including factors such as long-term care needs, lost earning capacity, and emotional pain and suffering, to ensure you seek the full amount of damages available in your case. Before you talk to an insurance adjuster, talk to us. We can assess your case, explain your options, and help maximize the compensation you receive.

FAQs About Car Accidents in Illinois
What should I do if the other driver's insurance company contacts me?
Be polite but protect yourself. You’re not required to give a recorded statement or accept the first offer. Insurance adjusters often try to minimize how much they have to pay by getting you to say something that could hurt your case. Consider meeting with an attorney before agreeing to anything – it could make a significant difference in your final settlement.
What steps should I take after a hit-and-run accident?
Immediately call the police and file a report. Gather any evidence you can find at the scene, including photos and witness information. Contact your insurance company immediately, and then seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Finally, work with a legal professional who can help explore all your options for compensation, including uninsured motorist coverage.
What hidden injuries should I look out for after a car accident?
Your body’s adrenaline response can mask serious injuries. Watch for signs of whiplash, persistent headaches, neck stiffness, or back pain. Concussions may cause confusion, memory problems, or mood changes. Internal injuries can develop gradually, and emotional trauma like PTSD is also common. If you notice any new or worsening symptoms, seek medical care immediately.
How long does it take to settle a car accident claim?
Every case is unique, but most settlements take anywhere from a few months to over a year. Factors like injury severity, treatment duration, and insurance company cooperation all play a role. Complicated cases involving serious injuries or disputed fault may take longer. A car accident attorney can work to streamline the process and prevent unnecessary delays.
