Illinois Statute of Limitations

That is why we at Trauma lawyers recommend contacting our attorneys as soon as possible after an incident occurs to get started on your case. We offer free consultations and would be happy to discuss your claim with you.
Personal Injury Lawsuit
A personal injury lawsuit is a civil action brought by an injured person against the person or entity who was responsible for the injuries caused. The purpose of a civil personal injury action is for the injured person to recover financial compensation for the losses suffered because of the accident. Losses suffered can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering caused by the injury.
There are many different kinds of personal injury lawsuits. At Trauma Lawyers, we focus mainly on the following types of injury cases:
- Medical malpractice includes hospital error, surgical error, prescription error or a failure to diagnose. Trauma Lawyers have experience with all types of medical malpractice cases.
- Sexual assault survivors can suffer from anxiety, paranoia, fear, embarrassment, guilt, memory loss and more. All the attorneys at Trauma Lawyers are sensitive to your emotional well-being and provide personal, confidential and caring representation.
- Motor vehicle collisions are a common occurrence, many of which result in severe injury. If you are injured in a car, motorcycle or truck crash; boating or ATV accident; Metra & CTA collision; bicycle accident; aviation collision; or drunk driving incident you need a lawyer who will protect your rights and your best interests.
- Birth-related injuries are especially devastating, affecting you and your child for the rest of your lives. Trauma Lawyers handle these cases with compassion and conviction. They will hold those responsible for the injuries accountable and see to it that you receive the settlement necessary to care for your child and their future.
- Workers’ compensation benefits are commonly awarded for work-related injury, illness and death, helping to meet the needs of injured workers and their families. If you have been injured on the job, you have the right to receive workers’ compensation benefits that include paid medical expenses, a percentage of your earnings while you are recovering, and a lump sum settlement based on the severity of your injury.
