Personal Injury victims often suffer significant financial losses due to their injuries. Medical bills, lost income, and other expenses can become overwhelming burdens, and many seek compensation in court for these costs. Every personal injury case is different, so there is no set amount of compensation someone could receive.
After filing a lawsuit, one of our expert attorneys will calculate the damages and present that figure in court as a basis for their potential financial award.
The judge or jury in the case will decide whether someone should receive any compensation, and if so, the amount. Sometimes, the at-fault party and victim can settle out of court, and mutually agree upon a compensation figure.
Regardless of whether the case reaches court or the parties settle out of court; the damages a victim sustains is a main factor in determining how much compensation could be received. We’ve served the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area since 1999.
Being such a large and populated area, Chicago is no stranger to accidents caused by reckless or careless actions. Just because these situations are common does not mean they should be tolerated, especially if you have suffered long-lasting and debilitating harm because of someone else’s misconduct. As an Illinois resident, you have the right to file a civil suit against any negligent person who causes you serious harm.
A Chicago personal injury lawyer could help you demand the restitution you deserve for your losses. We navigate the common legal and procedural roadblocks to recovery and guide you throughout the process. Get in touch with our diligent team at McCready Law today to learn more.
Professional Chicago lawyers could help file claims for several types of accidents. The following are some of the most common cases we deal with when people are looking to secure a financial payout after an accident.

A dedicated Chicago personal injury attorney could take proactive legal action against every party who contributed to an incident through reckless or careless conduct, ensuring that all aspects of the plaintiff’s case are thoroughly addressed.
Premises Liability
In addition, adept legal counsel could work on civil claims against private and public property owners. These landowners could be held accountable for negligent land management that led to a visitor’s injury, such as a slip and fall, electrocution, or a serious dog bite.
Workplace Injuries
If applicable, a lawyer could help pursue financial recovery for someone who is harmed on the job by guiding them through a workers’ compensation claim, third-party litigation, or both. From defective machinery to catastrophic accidents, work injuries have the potential to cause significant physical and financial distress.
It is important to know that when filing suit over a personal injury in Chicago, state law does not place any artificial caps on how much money an injured person can demand for compensable damages they suffered due to negligence. A successful lawsuit or settlement demand can seek restitution for the full value of all economic and non-economic consequences of an injury on the harmed party.
