  • What should I do immediately after sustaining a brain or spinal cord injury?

    After sustaining a brain or spinal cord injury, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention, even if symptoms seem mild. These injuries can have delayed or worsening effects. Once your health is stabilized, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to help you navigate the complex legal process and ensure your rights are protected.

  • How are brain and spinal cord injury claims different from other personal injury claims?

    Brain and spinal cord injuries often result in long-term or permanent disabilities, making these claims more complex and higher in value. They require thorough documentation of medical treatments, long-term care needs, and the impact on your quality of life. An experienced attorney can help ensure that all aspects of your injury are fully accounted for in your claim.

  • What types of compensation can I receive for a brain or spinal cord injury?

    Compensation for brain and spinal cord injuries can include medical expenses (both current and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and costs related to long-term care or modifications to your home or vehicle. We work diligently to secure the full compensation you need to manage the lifelong impacts of these injuries.

  • How long do I have to file a brain or spinal cord injury claim?

    In Illinois, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. However, the sooner you act, the better. Early legal intervention helps preserve evidence, secure witness statements, and build a strong case to support your claim.
