Shelbyville Personal Injury Lawyer


Personal injury cases arise when someone becomes injured because of the negligence, carelessness, or intentional behavior of another party. If you have been injured due to the carelessness or misconduct of another, a skilled civil attorney may be able to help you obtain compensation for your damages either through settlement negotiations or by filing a lawsuit on your behalf.

When dealing with an injury, seeking medical treatment, living with pain, and missing work while medical bills pile up, it can be overwhelming to have to also deal with insurance companies and their lawyers who are working against your best interest. A compassionate and helpful Shelbyville personal injury lawyer can reduce the burden on you and your family, guide you through the process, and in most cases, help you obtain a larger financial recovery than you would be likely to achieve without a lawyer.

Why Hire a Shelbyville Personal Injury Attorney?

An experienced injury lawyer in Shelbyville can make the civil process much easier for you, help you avoid making mistakes that can undermine or even destroy your claim, and work to make sure you receive fair compensation for your damages. In many cases, we are able to negotiate substantial reductions in medical bills and liens for our clients, so they can keep more of their settlement proceeds. In every case, we try to make the process as easy as we possibly can for our clients, so they can focus on recovering from their injuries, enjoying their family, and getting their life back.

How Much Will it Cost to Hire an Injury Lawyer?

We offer free consultations in injury cases, so it will not cost you anything to sit down and discuss your case and get advice about how to maximize the value of your claim. We strive to provide as much value as we can in an initial consultation and do our best to answer all questions a potential client will bring to us in an initial consultation.

If you want to hire our firm, we do not charge hourly or ask for a large up-front retainer to represent injured clients. We typically work on a “contingency fee” basis. In other words, there is no fee unless and until we are successful in recovering money for our client. In most cases, our firm charges a one-third contingency fee, which is typical and customary for most Illinois injury firms.

Time Limits to File an Illinois Injury Claim

All injury claims in Illinois are subject to a deadline or a statute of limitations. If an injured person has not filed a lawsuit before the deadline expires, they would likely be permanently barred from doing so and unable to recover for their injuries.

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. (735 Illinois Compiled Statutes §5/13-202). However, different limitation periods may apply depending on the circumstances of the case. For example, different limitation periods may apply for a minor’s claim or a claim against a governmental entity.

The best way to determine what deadline applies to your case is to schedule a free consultation with a skilled Shelbyville civil injury attorney, who can discuss the specific facts of your case with you and advise what deadlines would apply.
