What If I am Injured in Chicago and I Live Elsewhere?

Chicago witnesses a fantastic amount of traffic. From tourists visiting the Sears Tower to temporary residents touring scenic Lakeshore Drive to international business travelers flying through O’Hare Airport, hundreds of thousands visitors pass through the Windy City every year. While most tourists, convention guests, and others enjoy their stay, a small but significant percentage get injured.

If you’ve been injured in a Chicago accident, but you don’t live in the city or even in Illinois, what actions should you take to get compensation for your injuries and damages? It’s expensive and time consuming to travel back to Chicago. But the injuries and secondary consequences of those injuries (such as lost wages, missed work, pain, medical bills, and psychological effects) have not gone away.

Can you file a lawsuit in Illinois if you live out of state or out of the country?

What’s the protocol for assessing the proper jurisdiction?

What kind of logistical, time, and money investment must you make to pursue your case effectively?

Here at the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, we handle dozens of Illinois accident cases from out of state claimants.
