Personal injury law gives legal help to people who were harmed due to another party's negligence, as this law covers many situations where someone's careless actions cause physical, emotional, or financial harm. The foundation of personal injury claims rests on proving negligence. Chicago's urban environment creates unique considerations that apply to personal injury cases since dense traffic creates problems while construction zones add to accident risks. Our Chicago personal injury attorneys are well-versed in these local factors.
Illinois statutes provide specific guidelines that cover personal injury litigation, including rules about evidence collection and damage calculations. The burden of proof requires showing that the defendant likely caused your injuries.
Our comprehensive practice encompasses a wide range of accident types. They include:
Car accidents and motor vehicle accidents
Medical malpractice and medical negligence cases
Workplace accidents and construction injuries
Motorcycle accidents with catastrophic injury
Nursing home abuse and neglect cases

Illinois follows comparative negligence rules, which means injury victims can recover compensation, even with some fault. As long as your fault does not exceed 50 percent, you should be allowed to recover some form of compensation.

Chicago’s crowded streets and heavy traffic make motor vehicle accidents a daily risk. Ongoing construction projects add further hazards for both drivers and pedestrians, while harsh winter weather brings icy sidewalks and snowy roads that contribute to slip-and-fall accidents and crashes.
The city’s industrial and construction zones also pose dangers to workers, with manufacturing sites and job sites carrying unique risks. In addition, Chicago’s dense urban environment creates safety challenges for pedestrians, especially at busy intersections where accidents are more likely to occur.
Chicago’s highways see thousands of accidents each year. Interstates 90 and 94, along with the Dan Ryan Expressway, are frequent sites of serious crashes—especially in construction zones where lane reductions and shifting traffic patterns increase risks.
Winter weather adds another layer of danger. Snow and ice often lead to multi-vehicle collisions, while distracted driving continues to be a leading cause of accidents across the city.
Motorcyclists face particular risks in Chicago traffic, as limited protection often results in catastrophic injuries. Commercial truck accidents also pose serious dangers, with federal regulations and the size of the vehicles making these cases especially complex.
Chicago's construction boom creates numerous opportunities for workplace accidents. Common workplace accidents include:
Falls from heights leading to serious injury
Equipment malfunctions causing catastrophic injury
Electrical hazards resulting in severe burns
Exposure to dangerous substances
When employers fail to follow OSHA regulations, workers can suffer serious, life-changing injuries. While workers’ compensation provides benefits, it often doesn’t cover the full extent of your losses. In some cases, a third-party personal injury lawsuit may allow you to pursue additional compensation. Our legal team helps injured workers explore every option to recover the maximum compensation available.
Taking quick action after an accident is critical not only for your health but also for protecting your legal rights. The hours following an injury are often the most important, as valuable evidence can disappear quickly.
Unfortunately, many people make mistakes that weaken their claims. Admitting fault, delaying medical treatment, or giving a recorded statement without an attorney can all seriously harm your case. Our team is here to guide you from the start, helping you avoid these pitfalls and build a strong foundation for your claim.
Your health should always come first after a serious injury. Even if you feel fine, some injuries such as traumatic brain injuries may not show symptoms right away but can have serious long-term effects if left untreated. That’s why it’s important to seek medical care immediately.
Prompt medical treatment also strengthens your legal case. Detailed medical records serve as critical evidence, linking your injuries directly to the accident. If you delay treatment, insurance companies may try to argue that you weren’t truly injured or that your injuries came from another cause, reducing the value of your claim.
Key steps you must follow to protect your rights include:
Save damaged clothing and personal items
Photograph injuries as they heal over time
Maintain copies of all medical records
Save all medical bills and treatment records
Document lost wages and work missed
Avoid discussing accidents on social media platforms, as insurance companies monitor accounts. They look for information to minimize claims.
Personal injury law involves complex principles and insurance regulations, while insurance companies employ experienced attorneys whose job is to minimize payouts to injury victims. Studies show that people who hire experienced personal injury attorneys recover significantly more compensation.
Insurance companies use sophisticated tactics to reduce claim values, and without legal representation, injury victims are vulnerable to these tactics. Proper investigation requires resources that most individuals do not possess.
When we take on a case, our investigation begins right away. We visit accident scenes, speak with witnesses, and gather physical evidence to uncover key details that insurance companies often overlook.
In more complex cases, we work with expert witnesses. Accident reconstruction specialists can show exactly how a crash happened, while medical experts explain the lasting impact injuries have on a victim’s life.
Through the discovery process, we secure critical documents such as insurance policies, maintenance records, and even internal communications that support your claim. We also use modern technology like surveillance footage and vehicle computer data to build the strongest case possible.
Personal injury damages fall into two main categories: economic and non-economic. Economic damages cover measurable financial losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket expenses. Non-economic damages compensate for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and a reduced quality of life.
For serious injuries, future medical expenses are often the largest component of a claim. We work with medical experts to project the full cost of treatment over your lifetime. Lost earning capacity is also considered, taking into account career opportunities your injuries may have affected.
We also account for the ongoing costs of physical therapy and rehabilitation, as well as the ways your injuries impact daily life and the activities you once enjoyed.
Serious injuries can create overwhelming financial stress, especially as medical bills start piling up before a personal injury claim is resolved. Understanding how medical expenses factor into your claim helps you make informed decisions about your recovery and legal options.
Personal injury settlements are designed to cover all reasonable medical costs, including past bills and future treatment necessary for your full recovery.
Medical bills provide clear evidence of the financial impact of your accident, while detailed medical records demonstrate the severity of your injuries and the necessity of your treatment. Insurance companies carefully review these records, often looking for gaps to reduce the value of a claim.
Medical liens let healthcare providers secure payment from settlements when patients can’t pay upfront. Knowing your lien rights is important to ensure you receive the maximum amount possible from your settlement.
Access to quality medical care shouldn’t depend on your ability to pay upfront. Many injury victims need immediate treatment, and delays can make conditions worse. That’s why we work with a network of medical providers experienced in personal injury cases.
Effective treatment planning addresses both immediate needs and long-term recovery goals. Comprehensive rehabilitation may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological counseling to support your full recovery.
Losing a loved one is devastating, especially when someone else’s negligence is to blame. Wrongful death cases offer a legal path to seek justice and financial security, and Illinois law allows certain family members to pursue compensation when a fatal injury occurs.
Because Illinois has a strict two-year statute of limitations, families need to act quickly to protect their right to compensation.
Wrongful death cases require a thorough legal investigation to understand the circumstances surrounding a fatal injury. Preserving evidence is especially important, particularly when criminal proceedings may also be involved. Illinois law also defines which family members have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. It’s important to understand that criminal and civil cases serve different purposes.
Criminal cases focus on punishing the responsible party, while civil wrongful death cases allow families to seek financial compensation for their loss.
In Illinois, wrongful death damages can include both economic and non-economic losses. Economic damages cover the financial support the deceased would have provided, with lost income calculations based on factors like age, health, and earning potential at the time of death.
Non-economic damages compensate for the loss of companionship, guidance, and emotional support. In some cases, estate claims can also provide additional compensation, including medical expenses and pain and suffering endured before death.
At LoVerde Law, we combine extensive experience with personalized attention that larger firms often cannot offer. By limiting our caseloads, we ensure every client receives the focused support their case deserves. Our local Chicago connections also give us valuable insights into judges and court procedures, benefiting our clients.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in client testimonials and professional awards that recognize our standing in the legal community. We prioritize accessibility, keeping clients informed with timely updates and open communication throughout the legal process.
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Illinois is two years. This begins from the accident date with limited exceptions.
Illinois comparative negligence allows recovery if your fault does not exceed 50%.
Cases typically take months to years. This depends on the severity of the injury, liability disputes, and factors related to the cooperation of the insurance company.
Most cases settle out of court. Trial-ready attorneys often secure better settlement offers through negotiation leverage.
Uninsured motorist coverage might help cover costs if an uninsured driver hits you. Underinsured coverage helps when limits are insufficient.
