This wasn’t your fault. Someone else’s negligence left you injured and changed the course of your life. While it isn’t fair, you are the one who is left in pain, you are the one who needs medical treatment, and you are the one who can’t work because of your injuries.
You are the one who is suffering, but you shouldn’t be the one to pay for your injuries.
Instead, you should pursue a fair recovery from the person who hurt you or that person’s insurance company. This can be difficult and it can be stressful, but you don’t have to do it alone.
The attorneys of Hupy and Abraham have been helping personal injury victims for the past fifty years. Our award-winning lawyers have offices in three convenient Illinois locations, including Bloomington, Gurnee, and Rockford. It is our job to answer all of your questions and to help you make the best decisions possible after a personal injury.
Make the Decision That Is Right for You
We join you in the wish that this injury had never happened to you. Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do, or that we can do, to undo the accident that left you hurt. However, there is a lot that we can do to help you recover and to minimize the impact of the injuries that you have suffered.
The choice is up to you. You have the right to do nothing and to pay all of your own expenses. You have the right to represent yourself and to do your best against experienced insurance adjusters and attorneys who work day in and day out to pay injury victims as little as possible.
You also have the right to contact an experienced Illinois personal injury lawyer, who can make your life easier, and who will:
- Let you know if you have a claim.
- File your Illinois injury claim.
- Negotiate with insurance adjusters.
- Represent you in court.
- Fight hard for the full and fair recovery that you deserve.
Our Illinois personal injury attorneys are with you every step of the way. Before you hire us, however, we encourage you to talk to us. Set up a free, no-obligation consultation and get to know us. You have nothing to lose, and potentially much to gain, from such a meeting.
What Could I Gain?
In Illinois, you have the right to collect fair damages for the injury that someone else has caused you. That includes all of your past, current and future expenses. While the law can’t undo what has happened to you, it seeks to provide you with as full a financial recovery as possible by compensating you for:
- Medical expenses.
- Lost income.
- Out-of-pocket costs.
- Pain and suffering.
- Punitive damages (in limited circumstances).
The law allows this recovery, but it is not automatic. Instead, you have to fight for fair damages with the insurance company or in court. The exact amount of your recovery will depend on how well you, or your attorney, advocate for your recovery, the quality of the evidence you provide, the specific injuries and financial losses you have suffered, and whether you were responsible for any part of the accident.
