Our Expertise - Types of Cases We Handle

Car Accidents

Car accidents are the most common source of personal injury claims in Illinois. Whether you were hit from behind, suffered a head-on collision, or were involved in a multi‑vehicle pile‑up, our car accident lawyers know how to assess liability, gather evidence, and negotiate with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation.

Slip and Fall Incidents

Slip and fall cases often involve property owners who failed to maintain safe premises. We investigate conditions such as uneven flooring, inadequate lighting, or hazardous spills, and hold responsible parties accountable for medical expenses and lost wages.

Wrongful Death Claims

When a loved one's life is tragically cut short due to negligence, our wrongful death attorneys provide both emotional support and vigorous legal representation. We pursue damages that cover funeral costs, loss of companionship, and future financial support.

Other Personal Injury Situations

From workplace accidents and medical malpractice to product liability and dog bite incidents, our injury law firm has the breadth of experience needed to tackle any complex case.

What Happens After an Accident?

1. Seek Medical Care: Your health is the top priority. Even if injuries seem minor, a thorough evaluation can uncover hidden damage.
2. Document the Scene: Take photos, collect witness statements, and keep a detailed record of the incident and its aftermath.
3. Notify Your Insurance: Report the accident promptly to preserve your coverage and protect your rights.
4. Schedule a Free Consultation: Contact Justice First Injury Law to discuss your case with a seasoned personal injury attorney.
5. Legal Investigation: We'll review evidence, consult experts, and build a strong case to present to insurers or in court.
6. Negotiation or Litigation: We'll pursue a fair settlement or, if necessary, take your claim to trial to secure the maximum recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need an Attorney After a Minor Accident?

Even if the injuries appear minor, insurance companies often downplay the severity of your claim. A qualified personal injury lawyer can ensure you receive appropriate compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and future care.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim in Illinois?

Illinois follows a statute of limitations of two years from the date of injury for most personal injury cases. However, there are exceptions-such as cases involving children or medical malpractice-so it's crucial to act quickly and consult a lawyer.

What Types of Damages Can I Recover?

Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and, in wrongful death cases, loss of support and companionship. Each case is unique, and a skilled attorney will identify all recoverable amounts.

Will My Case Go to Trial?

Most cases settle before trial. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we're prepared to present your case before a judge or jury to protect your interests.
