What Rights Do You Have After Being Injured?
In Illinois, various personal injury laws may apply to your unique case, but in simple terms – if someone’s carelessness caused your injuries, you have the right to be made whole. That means you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other costs that resulted from the accident. At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, our team is here to help pursue a full and fair recovery that accounts for everything and doesn’t settle for less.
Illinois injury laws can be complex, drawing from both state statutes and court decisions.
These rules determine how negligence is proven, what damages you can claim, and how long you have to file. Our Chicago personal injury attorneys know the local courts, judges, and procedures and we use that to answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.
Illinois Civil Tort LawsIf you or a loved one were injured by another’s negligence, the first step toward recovery is to speak with one of a top-rated personal injury lawyer near you — someone who listens & has the skill to win against big insurance companies and law firms who want you accept as little as possible.
When you contact Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, we start by learning your story, understanding how your accident happened, and identifying who may be responsible. From there, we handle everything and pursue the maximum compensation you deserve, so you can heal with confidence and peace of mind.
If We Take Your Case, the Process May Look Something Like This:
Every strong case starts with proof. Our team collects police reports, medical records, photos, and witness statements to build a complete picture of your accident. We dig into every detail, so nothing gets overlooked.
Once your damages are clear, we send a detailed demand to the at-fault party or their insurer — outlining medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future expenses — to seek a fair settlement before litigation.
If the insurance company won’t settle fairly, we file a personal injury lawsuit in Illinois court. This step adds pressure and gives us access to key information that strengthens your claim.
During discovery, both sides exchange evidence and testimony. Our Chicago injury lawyers use depositions, document requests, and expert analysis to uncover facts the defense may try to hide.
Before trial, mediation offers a chance to reach an out-of-court resolution. We negotiate aggressively with insurers and defense counsel to secure a fair outcome without unnecessary delays.
Most cases resolve here. When a settlement is reached, you’ll receive compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering — typically in a single lump-sum payment.
If the other side refuses to be reasonable, we take your case to court. Our experienced Chicago trial lawyers present compelling evidence and expert testimony to pursue justice before a jury.
If the verdict is unfair or the law was misapplied, we may appeal your case. This process asks a higher court to review the decision and, if appropriate, order a new trial or correction.
After an accident, the question isn’t just what happened — it’s what has it cost you?
After an accident, the question isn’t just what happened — it’s what has it cost you? The medical treatment for painful injuries, the time away from work and paychecks you won’t get back, the ongoing care, and even the daily frustrations and limitations that disrupt your life. Illinois law allows you to recover compensation for all of it.
Personal Injury Damages & Losses
In Illinois, the standard of proof is a “preponderance of the evidence,” not “beyond all reasonable doubt,” as it is in criminal trials. That means that your proof must rise to the level of being more likely than that of the defense. A certain amount of speculation will always be expected.
A 52-year-old woman and her pregnant 29-year-old daughter were on their way to a hospital for an ultrasound appointment. While on their way, a 19-year-old failed to stop at a stop sign and t-boned their car.
To fully recover after an accident, you must prove another person’s negligence caused your injury. That’s where our Chicago personal injury lawyers come in. We calculate your full economic and non-economic damages, collect the documentation, and pursue maximum recovery from every liable party.
No two accidents are alike, but every injury deserves serious attention. At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, we represent people in situations just like yours across Chicago, Cook County, and throughout Illinois in a wide range of personal injury cases.
From the Kennedy Expressway to Lake Shore Drive, traffic collisions are among the leading causes of serious injury in Cook County. Our Chicago personal injury lawyers handle all types of motor vehicle crashes — from car to motorcycle accidents to pedestrian, bicycle, Uber, Lyft, and CTA transit injuries. We hold negligent drivers, companies, and insurers accountable, navigate complex claims, and fight to recover every dollar you’re owed.
FEMALE DRIVER STRUCK HEAD-ON
A 42-year-old female was returning home from work when she had a head-on collision when another driver attempted a left hand turn. The case was settled for $950,000.00 prior to litigation.
With major highways like I-90, I-94, and I-80 running through Cook County, truck and commercial vehicle crashes are a serious risk across Chicago. Our truck accident lawyers hold negligent drivers and trucking companies accountable through swift investigation, expert analysis, and deep knowledge of federal regulations, uncovering the truth and securing full compensation for victims.
Woman struck by commercial truck
A 49-year-old female was driving home when a large commercial truck struck the rear end of her vehicle. She required a lumbar fusion surgical procedure and received a settlement for $890,000.00.
Regardless of the accident type, some injuries can change every part of your life. And while a life-altering injury caused by someone else’s negligence is devastating, our Chicago injury lawyers help families recover compensation to lighten the financial and lasting emotional toll of a preventable tragedy.
We routinely represent & have had tremendous success helping clients suffering from severe and permanent injuries:
After an accident, insurance companies move fast to minimize payouts — sometimes by downplaying your injuries, blaming you, or suggesting your case is worth less than it truly is. Don’t be pressured into an early settlement or assume your claim is simple. Even “open-and-shut” cases can unravel when insurers or defense lawyers raise doubts about fault, damages, or medical proof.
That’s where our experience makes the difference. Staver Accident Injury Lawyers has handled thousands of complex personal injury claims across Chicago and Illinois. We know every tactic insurers use to deny or delay justice and how to fight back. Our attorneys gather the facts, counter their defenses, and push for the full, fair compensation you deserve.
