Why Choose GWC as Your Libertyville Personal Injury Lawyer?
Our commitment to our injured clients is illustrated in the over $2.5 billion we’ve recovered for them. This statistic includes the following notable results in Lake County:
- $527,689.02 jury verdict for an injured motorcyclist. After a union laborer was struck in North Barrington, GWC countered the defense’s explanations for the crash and took the dispute over his injuries to trial in Lake County.
- $2.85 million medical malpractice settlement. GWC represented parents following their child’s death and secured a settlement against a Lake County hospital shortly before trial.
While past results do not guarantee a similar outcome, they underscore GWC’s experience investigating serious injuries and pursuing contested claims.
Do I Have a Libertyville Personal Injury Case?
You may have a personal injury case if another person or company’s negligence caused your injuries. That could involve a careless driver, an unsafe property condition, or another preventable hazard.
To evaluate the strength of your claim, schedule a free, no-obligation case review. During this case review, we’ll start by applying the basic negligence framework to your situation. This requires establishing duty, breach, proximate causation, and damages. Expect to discuss:
- How the injury happened and who may be responsible
- Your treatment, missed work, and other losses
- What evidence and insurance coverage may be available
If you are unsure who caused the accident, or an insurer is blaming you, we can review the circumstances and explain your options. Workers’ compensation may be available without proving third-party negligence, while a separate personal injury claim may exist against a negligent non-employer/third party.
Injury Claims We Pursue for Libertyville Clients
Our attorneys represent Libertyville residents who have been injured in a range of circumstances, including:
Car Accidents
Our Libertyville car accident lawyers help injured drivers and passengers pursue claims involving careless driving, disputed fault, and insurance disagreements. We examine the crash evidence and document how the injuries affect your life.
Truck Accidents
Commercial vehicle crashes can involve more than the driver. Our Libertyville truck accident attorneys investigate potentially responsible companies and evidence such as driver logs, vehicle data, and maintenance records.
Motorcycle Accidents
Our Libertyville motorcycle accident lawyers investigate the circumstances of a collision and challenge unsupported attempts to blame the rider. We pursue compensation for the immediate and lasting effects of serious injuries.
Workplace and Construction Injuries
Our Libertyville workers’ compensation attorneys help injured employees pursue benefits and address disputes over treatment or disability payments. When a separate party contributed to a construction or workplace accident, we also evaluate whether an additional personal injury claim is available.
GWC also represents clients in cases involving unsafe property conditions, defective products, medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, and wrongful death. If your situation is not listed, contact us to discuss it.
What Happens After You Contact GWC?
Your first conversation gives us a chance to understand your situation and explain the available next steps. If you hire us, our work includes:
- Investigating responsibility and coverage. We identify potentially liable parties and applicable insurance policies.
- Preserving and gathering evidence. Relevant evidence varies by claim and may include video, incident reports, witness statements, photographs, and expert analysis.
- Documenting your losses. We review your medical care, income loss, limitations, and future needs.
- Managing the claim. We communicate with insurers, explain settlement offers, and prepare for litigation when necessary.
You do not need to gather every document before reaching out. Simply tell us what happened and share the documents you already have.
What Compensation Can GWC Pursue?
Depending on your case, we can pursue compensation for:
- Medical bills, rehabilitation, and future treatment.
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering.
- Scarring, disfigurement, and disability.
- Loss of normal life and other documented injury-related losses.
The value of your claim depends on your injuries, the evidence, responsibility for the accident, and available coverage. Our goal is to account for the injury’s lasting consequences, not just the bills you have received so far.
Questions About Hiring a Libertyville Injury Attorney
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Libertyville?
For many personal injury lawsuits in Libertyville, Illinois law generally provides a two-year filing period. Exceptions and shorter deadlines can apply, so do not assume that period governs your claim. Medical malpractice claims, certain governmental claims, and claims involving minors, for example, may have different timelines. Contact an attorney promptly to identify your deadline and preserve evidence.
Can I Recover Compensation if I Was Partly at Fault?
You may recover compensation in an Illinois negligence claim if you were no more than 50% responsible, but your share of fault reduces your recovery. Being more than 50% responsible generally bars recovery under Illinois’ comparative-fault law. An insurance adjuster’s accusation does not, by itself, establish your percentage of fault.
Will Hiring a Lawyer Mean Going to Court?
Hiring a lawyer does not automatically mean going to court. Your case may resolve through settlement, but a lawsuit may be necessary if responsibility or compensation remains disputed. GWC will explain your options and prepare to pursue your claim through litigation when needed.
