Personal Injury Cases Our Chicago Law Office Handles

In the eyes of the law, personal injuries cover a range of injuries that may occur to someone’s physical body, emotional health, or reputation. If another person’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful actions were the cause of your injuries, you may be owed compensation for your related losses.

Every lawyer at our Chicago law office is equipped to handle a wide variety of personal injury cases, including:

No matter what you’re going through, we’re here to help. As experienced trial lawyers with a track record of fighting and winning for clients nationwide, we are prepared to handle even the most complex of cases.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

You are not required to hire or work with a lawyer when filing a personal injury claim. However, it is important to know what you are up against. In most cases, injury claims and lawsuits are filed against the at-fault party’s insurer rather than the at-fault party themselves.

Insurance companies are formidable opponents who have all the time and money in the world to fight your claim. When they handle your claim, they’ll have their own team of lawyers on their side.

You deserve to be fairly represented in every interaction you have with the insurance company. So while the best time to hire a personal injury lawyer was right after you were hurt, the second best time is now.

Still not sure if your case requires the guidance of a Chicago personal injury lawyer? You may need a lawyer if:

You currently can’t work or you missed any amount of work after your injury.
You’re unable to work in the same capacity as you once did.
You’ve received medical bills for care or treatment related to your injuries.
You need weeks, months, or years of costly medical care.
You’re behind on bills like rent, mortgage, car payments, or utilities.
You’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
You’re not sure what compensation you’re entitled to.
You’re worried the insurance company isn’t treating you fairly.

The most important thing a lawyer can do for you is give you peace of mind. If you’re struggling with any part of the personal injury claim process, working with an experienced attorney will give you the space and time you need to focus on your recovery while we handle the legal side of things.

What Compensation Can I Get for My Personal Injury?

Illinois state law entitles injury victims to compensation for both economic and noneconomic damages. These are also known as actual damages or compensatory damages.

Economic damages refer to your verifiable financial losses. While every personal injury case is different, these can include:

Lost current and future wages
Loss of benefits
Loss of earning potential
Medical bills (including those for mental health services)
Property damage
Domestic services (including cleaning services and childcare)

It is important to carefully document all financial losses you have incurred since the onset of your injury. Keep all receipts, invoices, and bills. Your personal injury attorney will use this information when calculating how much your claim is worth.

Noneconomic damages refer to nontangible losses, and may include:

Physical pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment in life
Mental anguish
Loss of companionship or consortium
Disfigurement or disability

Insurance companies are notorious for trying to limit noneconomic damages in settlements. If you don’t have the backing of an experienced personal injury lawyer, you could be missing out on compensation that is vital to your recovery.

Whether we’re working with someone who suffered a preventable injury or representing a family who needlessly lost a loved one, we give our all to each and every case.

We know that just being good lawyers isn’t enough. By giving back to our community, engaging in educational efforts, protecting access to high quality senior care, and defending our clients’ rights to fair trial by jury, we can impact real and lasting change.

Establishing Liability for Personal Injury Cases

You were injured, and you know it wasn’t your fault. So how do you prove that?

The evidence we rely on when establishing liability for personal injury cases will vary depending on the type of claim we are handling. For example, accident reports are key pieces of evidence in most car accident cases. Security footage frequently comes into play during slip and fall claims.

Other types of evidence that may be used to establish liability in personal injury cases include:

Medical records
Eyewitness testimony
Dashcam footage
Testimony from accident reconstruction experts or health care professionals
Photographs or videos
Bank statements (documenting lost wages)
Proof of paid time off (PTO) requests

Proving Negligence

When we collect, analyze, and present evidence during a personal injury case or lawsuit, we do so with the intention of proving negligence.

There are four elements that must be met for a person’s actions to meet the legal definition of negligence. These are:

That the at-fault person owed you a duty of care.
That the at-fault person violated or failed to meet their duty of care.
Your injuries were caused by the breach of duty of care.
You suffered verifiable damages as a result of your injuries.

You must prove that each one of the above elements is present in your case.

A Chicago personal injury lawyer from Thomas Law Offices can gather evidence, contextualize its meaning, and present it in a clear and indisputable way on your behalf.

What if I Was Partially at Fault for My Injuries?

Your right to file a personal injury claim and how much compensation you are entitled to recover may hinge on your total percentage of fault. In Illinois, the concept of comparative negligence (also called contributory fault) allows for both parties to have played a role in an accident or injury, while still acknowledging the rights of the victim.

Under 735 ILCS 5/2-116, victims are still entitled to recover compensation so long as they are less than 50% at fault.

This means that you can still pursue legal action even if you made a minor error while behind the wheel of your car, visiting another person’s property, or at work. Unfortunately, it is also a legal concept that we know insurance companies exploit.

If an insurance company can artificially inflate your percentage of responsibility to more than 50%, you’ll lose out on all rights to recovery. And even if they can’t surpass the 50% threshold, increasing your fault by even 10% means big savings for them. That’s because your final award or settlement will be proportionately reduced by your percentage of fault.

How Long Do You Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in the State of Illinois?

Every state has the right to set limits known as statute of limitations that dictate how much time you have to file a personal injury claim.

The statute of limitation can be different depending on the exact type of claim you are filing. For example, you have two years from the date of the collision to file a car accident claim. Medical malpractice claims also have a two-year statute of limitations, although the clock can begin ticking from the date the malpractice took place or the date at which you should have reasonably discovered it.

There is even less time to file a personal injury claim involving a government entity. In most cases, the statute of limitations on these claims is limited to one year.

Exceptions to the statute of limitations may apply in limited circumstances. Don’t count on an exception extending your right to take legal action—contact Thomas Law Offices to learn about the statute of limitations that applies to your case.

Because of this I now have a chance to start my own business. It's unfortunate what happened to me, but because of the people at Thomas Law Offices I now have a second chance. I can rise from the ashes. I hope I never need to seek legal help again. However, if I do you can guarantee I will be going straight back to Thomas Law Offices!

While visiting Kentucky with friends for a week of deer hunting I visited a local restaurant. The floor was mopped with no signs placed to warn customers. When my rubber hunting boots hit the wet floor I immediately went down slamming the back of my head into the ceramic tile floor. I suffered a concussion and damage to some teeth from the impact. I was referred to Attorney Kevin Weis who responded immediately, took all my information, and accepted my case. He along with his staff communicated regularly with me informing me on what I needed to provide and what was taking place in the process. Due to his expertise my case was settled out of court with all my medical bills covered and compensation for myself. I am extremely pleased with his service and highly recommend him and his firm if you are in need for a high quality and professional law firm.Dan LivingstonPensacola, Florida

I am incredibly happy that I chose Thomas Law Offices to represent me, Mike Campbell was the most professional and most helpful attorney i have ever worked with, he was there every time things began to concern me with a calming demeanor and the explanation i needed to hear to help me keep my composure.. he saw the case through to the end just as he said he would and a few times pulled me back from the edge when it would have been detrimental to the case for me to follow my instinct to "just be done with it"I appreciate everything their office did and the relationship that was built through a very tough time in my life.I absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of legal counsel .SincerelyBruce Farrell.

Louis Schneider and the team at Thomas Law Offices represented us well over the past 18 months, in reaching a settlement on our auto accident. In late 2019, another driver ran a red light and t-boned my car, injuring me and totaling my vehicle. Louie did a nice job of reaching settlements on both the car and later on our medical claims to make sure we came out whole. Louie addressed our concerns and was very responsive to our requests or questions, and he was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Thomas Law Office if you find yourself in a similar situation.

Lindsy Lopez – RecommendationI have decades of experience working in insurance; however, after being injured in an auto accident, I quickly realized I needed help to sort through the legal, medical, and financial confusion. After researching the attorneys and law firms in my area, I reached out to Lindsy Lopez because of her academic and professional experience. I was also impressed with her community education and advocacy and that of the Thomas Law firm with whom she is associated. Lindsy is easy to talk to, a good listener, explained the law in straightforward language, and outlined the steps we needed to take. Questions and communication were encouraged, and the response from Lindsy was prompt and spot-on. She informed, supported, and guided me through an almost two-year process to a successful outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsy Lopez if you find yourself in need of a hardworking and committed advocate.

This was my first time personally working with a lawyer, and Louie was incredible in providing facts and a well-rounded perspective regarding this process. He helped relieve a lot of the anxiety I suffered as a result of my car accident and allowed me to make informed decisions. He was easily accessible via email and always willing to talk over the phone to check-in. His paralegal Charles was so attentive and quick on any clarification I had or questions that needed a timely response. I'm so glad Louie was recommended to me and I'm happy to continue recommending him to anyone in need.

When I was hit by a tractor trailer this year I had no idea how to navigate the mess of insurance adjusters, medical bills, claims, and the loss I had in missing work. It was a scary and vulnerable time to realize I just lost my means to work and the ability to provide for my family. Kevin Weis guided me through the confusing process and kept me informed in a way I could understand. His knowledge of the in and outs of personal injury claims was so extensive he actually made the whole process quite simple for me. Now, months later, I am very happy with our end result and feel that I have been made completely whole from the accident. He went above and beyond to make sure I received everything I owed for medical care, wage loss, and pain and suffering. In the future I will send all my family’s legal business to him and recommend him highly to anyone who needs a knowledgeable attorney to fight for them when they feel the hurt and loss of an accident.

I had a big box store put the wrong size tires on my car and as a result, I had an non-injury accident.Other Louisville law firms did not want my case as it was not a huge money maker. I only wanted my almost totaled car fixed. Lou Snyder of Thomas Law Firm helped me settle out of court with that big box store (can’t say the name, but you would know it). I am thrilled he helped me recoup my loss.

Kevin Jones

04:01 07 Jul 20

Mike is the kind of lawyer other lawyers go to when they have questions about how to do something right. He is a subject matter expert and frequently teaches other lawyers how to improve their practices and get better results for their clients. I know, because I'm one of those lawyers that look up to Mike. You're in good hands with Mike.

Our small company has been working with Louis Schneider at Thomas Law Offices. He's been thoughtful and a breeze to work with. Louis is great about breaking down legalese into understandable language for the layman. We highly recommend him!

I’m so thankful to have found Lindsay Cordes and the Thomas Law firm. Ms. Cordes is thorough, empathetic, and the best advocate I could’ve hoped for for my Title IX case. She went above and beyond my expectations, and it’s clear she is passionate about her clients.

Wonderful team that helped so much after my auto accident. My case was a little more complicated since it involved my work but they were so helpful in explaining the process and making sure everything was addressed with all parties involved. I would have been lost trying to deal with it on my own.

We initially hired an attorney in FL where we live but since the accident happened in KY, our FL attorney referred us to the Thomas Law Firm and I'm so glad they did. The experience was wonderful, they were very responsive to all our calls and emails and Lindsy has always advised us openly about our options. The case was rather unique and complicated but they were able to get us a great settlement as they fought very hard for us. They even got us additional benefits in addition to the settlement with the insurance company. I highly recommend them and wouldn't look further.

The hard work and dedication from Lindsay Cordes, Tad Thomas, and the entire team was able to receive a settlement in my TITLE IX LAWSUIT. (Caps lock for emphasis, trust me, it's needed.)Lindsay and Tad were the fiercest of legal defense as we fought stiff odds, the kindest of spirits as I cried from recounting trauma, the most reliable of sources when I found myself lost in legality, and the most effective of lawyers for winning this case! Title IX is a volatile field and campus rape a traumatic matter. Lindsay, Tad, and Thomas Law Offices navigated this battlefield of an issue with the utmost kindness, tenacity, compassion, reliability, and genuine investment in me not as a client, but as a person. I wouldn't wish anything less for your legal needs!

Thomas Law Office was exceptional in handing my daughters car accident. They went above and beyond working with all the medical bills to get them lowered and with the insurance company to get us the best possible settlement w/o having to file suit. They were quick to always answering emails and phone calls. They even helped with answering questions we had with other issues that didn't involve our current case. They were great to work with. I highly recommend them and their services.

Tad and his team where an absolute blessing in my time of need and I could not have done it without them. Any questions I had where always answered in a timely manner and they worked diligently to get me everything I deserved and that takes time so don't expect anything to happen overnight. Thank you Tad and team! Especially Roxanne, I know you pulled for me a lot!
