Illinois comparative fault — and why it matters locally
Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule: your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, and if you are found more than 50% at fault you recover nothing. Because of this, insurers often argue that the injured person shared the blame. A careful investigation of how the crash happened helps answer those arguments.
Frequently asked questions — Schaumburg construction accidents
How much does it cost to hire a construction accident lawyer in Schaumburg?
Nothing up front. We handle Schaumburg construction accident cases on a contingency fee — you pay no fee at all unless we recover compensation for you.
How long do I have to file a construction accident claim in Illinois?

Do I have to go to court in Cook County?
Many construction accident claims resolve without a trial. If a lawsuit is filed, the courthouse depends on where the crash happened, where the parties live, and the size of the claim. For Schaumburg, that may be the Rolling Meadows Courthouse. We can explain which court applies to your case.
