One of the most common questions our clients ask is: “Why should I hire an Illinois personal injury attorney?” This is a perfectly reasonable question. After all, if you or a family member has recently suffered trauma, the last thing you want to do is to dwell on the accident and drag matters out. The problem with this approach – whether you've endured a Chicago personal injury or you've gotten hurt at work – is that most people simply don’t have the knowledge and experience to advocate for themselves effectively.

Insurance companies are businesses. They're driven by the bottom line. They want and need to make profits. This isn’t to say that insurance companies are evil, per say. But it's crucial to realize that they're not exactly on your side, either. They have no motivation - ZERO - to pay out full settlement amounts. To the contrary, insurers often hire consultants to help figure out ways to get out of paying policyholders, methods that can even violate the law.

To battle back, it makes sense for Illinois personal injury and workers’ compensation claimants to retain attorneys. A recent study found that claimants represented by lawyers received on average two to three times more than unrepresented claimants did. Think about that. We can get you more money – even after you’ve paid our fees – than you can get by dealing with your insurance company yourself. Statistically speaking, it just makes sense to get an attorney. Furthermore, on top of that extra money, you'll also save time (no haggling directly with the insurance company) and likely also reduce your anxiety about your case.
