FAQ
What if I was hit while walking or riding a bike?
You still have the right to pursue compensation. Pedestrians and cyclists have strong legal protections, and liability is based on the driver’s negligence.
What should I do immediately after a motor vehicle accident?
Ensure safety first, call 911, document the scene with photos, get medical care even if injuries seem minor, and avoid admitting fault. Then contact a lawyer before speaking with insurers.
How can I ensure compliance with wage and hour laws?

How is fault determined in Illinois motor vehicle accidents?
Illinois follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages if you're less than 51% at fault, but your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Do I have a case if I was a passenger in an Uber or Lyft accident?
Yes. You may be eligible for compensation from the rideshare driver’s insurance, the rideshare company’s commercial policy, or a third-party driver—depending on who was at fault.
Can I still file a claim if the driver who hit me was uninsured?
Yes. You may be able to file an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance policy, which covers injury-related damages when the at-fault party lacks coverage.
What compensation can I receive after a crash?
You may be eligible for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. In severe cases, future medical care and loss of earning capacity are also considered.
Is there a time limit to file a vehicle accident lawsuit in Illinois?
Yes. The statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims and five years for property damage.
