When Tim first started working on my case, I didn’t think I would receive any sort of damages since it looked like the other driver was uninsured – but I was impressed with Tim and his determination to find answers. He dug deeper and conducted an extensive investigation, one which ultimately ended up earning the results my daughter and I deserved. - Steve Straka
Tim kept things on track and never left me in the dark about what the next steps were. He acted as a great coach for me, ensuring I knew the proper legal procedures and everything that was to come, which is something I greatly appreciated. - Nick Popinski
After my accident, I knew I needed someone to help me with the insurance companies. When I reached out to what I call “the billboard lawyers,” I could never speak with an actual attorney, always an assistant. That left me convinced I wouldn’t be more than a number to them. That’s not the case with Tim. - Pat Nolan
Car Accident FAQs
First, ensure everyone’s safety and call 911 for medical assistance if needed. Exchange information with the other driver, take photos of the accident scene, and report the accident to the police. It’s also important to seek medical attention even if you feel fine and contact your insurance company to report the accident.
In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim and five years to file a property damage claim. However, it’s best to start the process as soon as possible to ensure all evidence is preserved.
While it’s not mandatory to have a lawyer, having legal representation can significantly increase your chances of receiving fair compensation. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal process, handle negotiations with insurance companies, and ensure your rights are protected.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other related costs. The specific amount and types of compensation depend on the details of your case.
Fault is determined based on the evidence collected, including police reports, witness statements, and accident scene photos. Illinois follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you can file a claim with your own insurance company under your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. This type of coverage is mandatory in Illinois and can help cover your expenses.
Yes, you can still claim compensation even if you weren’t wearing a seatbelt. However, your compensation may be reduced if it’s determined that your injuries were exacerbated by not wearing a seatbelt.
As a passenger, you have the right to file a claim against the driver(s) involved in the accident, whether it’s the driver of the car you were in or the other vehicle. You can seek compensation for your injuries and related expenses.
The duration of a car accident claim varies depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of insurance companies to settle. Some cases may be resolved in a few months, while others may take longer, especially if they go to trial.
You should gather medical records, police reports, photos of the accident scene and injuries, witness statements, repair estimates for your vehicle, and any correspondence with insurance companies. These documents will help support your claim and ensure you receive fair compensation.
