Do I have to pay to use your service?
No. Our claim information and guidance are completely free. If you choose to speak with an attorney, they typically work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they recover compensation for you.
What types of accidents do you help with?
We provide guidance and attorney connections for many types of personal injury cases, including: Car accidents, Truck accidents, Motorcycle accidents, Pedestrian accidents, Work injuries, Dog bites, Slip and fall accidents, and Medical malpractice.
How do I know if I have a case?
You may have a case if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, required medical treatment, or suffered financial losses. An attorney can review the details of your situation and help determine whether a claim may be possible.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In many cases, not allIllinois law allows two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Certain cases have different deadlines, so speaking with an attorney sooner rather than later is important.
