Serving Illinois clients since 1940.
Jurisdiction issues can be complicated when the parties live out of state. Generally speaking, if you were injured in an Illinois car accident, we can help you file a personal injury claim right here in Illinois. While the majority of your case can be handled by mail or over the phone, you may be required to appear in court if your case goes to trial.
The deadline to file a workers' compensation claim for a back injury in Illinois is three years from the day the injury occurred. However, if you haven't reported your injury to your employer, you should do so in writing right away. State law allows you just 45 days to report a work-related accident to your place of employment. If you wait too long to report your injury or file a claim, you may lose your right to recover workers' compensation benefits.
At Ankin Law Office, we'll shoulder the financial burden of pursuing your personal injury claim so you won't need to worry about upfront expenses. Since we work on a contingency fee basis, we'll provide you with free legal advice, cover the cost of investigating your case, negotiate with insurers, and our team will even represent you in court, and you'll have no out of pocket expenses throughout the claims process. In fact, you won't pay any fees until we win at trial or successfully negotiate a settlement.
