What Our Clients Say
Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!
Ivonne K.
Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.
William Charlton
I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).
Erendira Landa
I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.
Charles Mortensen
This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.

Having an experienced Chicago car accident lawyer by your side can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

The Fees of a Personal Injury Attorney
At Law Brothers, we recognize the financial burden a car accident can impose on your life. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs, and we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation for your case.
Legal Expertise and Experience: Chicago car accident lawyers possess extensive knowledge of Illinois laws and regulations, as well as practical experience handling various types of car accident cases. The Law Brothers® can help you every step of the way.
Insurance Negotiations: Insurance companies often prioritize their profits over the well-being of car accident victims. This can result in them attempting to influence conversations and guide victims to accept some responsibility for the accident, reducing their liability for car accident injuries.
Pursuing Maximum Compensation: One of the most critical aspects of a car accident claim is pursuing maximum compensation for damages, medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses related to the accident.

Collaborating with an experienced Chicago injury attorney increases your chances of obtaining a higher settlement for several reasons:
- Legal expertise: Our attorneys possess comprehensive knowledge of personal injury law and can skillfully navigate the legal process.

Common Causes of Car Accidents
Here are some common causes of car accidents in Chicago:
- Distracted Driving: It’s all too prevalent. Almost 250 accidents in Chicago are caused by distracted driving. That includes any activity that prevents a driver from paying attention on the road, such as texting, phoning, or eating.
- Drunk Driving: It’s well-known that alcohol impairs a driver’s ability to react and drive carefully on the road.
- Drug-Impaired Driving: Drugs can hinder a driver’s capacity to safely control a vehicle, leading to more car accidents. This includes all forms of illicit substances.
- Reckless Driving: No city is immune to reckless driving. This includes aggressive behaviors like tailgating, swerving through traffic, excessive speeding, and even road rage incidents.
- Adverse Weather Conditions: Conditions like heat and high winds in Chicago can challenge some drivers, making it difficult for them to navigate the roads safely.
- Disregarding Traffic Signals and Signs: In Chicago, failure to yield the right of way causes roughly 450 car accidents every year. Ignoring traffic rules can be devastating.
- Tailgating: Following too closely behind another vehicle diminishes the reaction time needed to avert a collision if the vehicle in front abruptly stops or slows down.
- Vehicle Defects: Mechanical malfunctions or defects in crucial vehicle systems like brakes or steering can contribute to accidents.

Common Injuries After Car Accidents in Chicago
Law Brothers has helped people injured in car accidents for over 15 years. This is our passion. We work day and night to get injured people the compensation they deserve. These are the most common causes of car accidents in Chicago:
- Whiplash: Although the most common injury, it can remain hidden and mask underlying issues. Whiplash is a neck injury caused by the forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip, often resulting from a rear-end car accident.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): TBIs can be devastating and are often caused by a violent blow or jolt to the head. An object penetrating the skull, such as shattered glass, can also cause a TBI.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: The violent and sudden stopping that results from a car accident can cause damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal. These injuries often cause permanent changes in strength, sensation, and other body functions below the site of the injury.
- Broken Bones: Broken ribs, legs, arms, wrists, ankles, and hips are common injuries in car accidents in Chicago. Some require surgery or more permanent solutions to increase the long-term quality of life.
- Internal Injuries: Car accidents can cause internal injuries such as a ruptured spleen, internal bleeding, or damage to internal organs.
- Cuts and Scrapes: Broken glass or metal can cause cuts and scrapes during and after a car accident. Some may be treated with bandages, while others may require surgery or other permanent solutions.
- Knee and Leg Injuries: As mentioned above, the violent and sudden movement resulting from a car accident can cause our legs to be injured. These injuries could range from minor bruises to severe fractures or dislocations.
- Psychological Injuries: Many people suffer from emotional distress, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a car accident.
Don’t wait to be seen by a medical professional. If you believe you were injured or experiencing pain resulting from an accident, seek the treatment you need. We also recommend working with a qualified Chicago car accident lawyer to get the legal guidance and compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I pay if we don't win the case?
No, there is no fee if we don't win your case. We call that a contingency fee which means our payment is dependent on one of our attorneys obtaining a favorable result for you. Either we win, or you don't pay. Under this arrangement, the lawyer agrees to accept a fixed percentage, often one-third, of the recovery, which is the amount finally paid to the client. If the client loses the case, the lawyer gets no fee, although the client may still be responsible for costs associated with the case, such as filing fees and other out-of-pocket expenses.
-
Do I need a lawyer for a car accident in Illinois?
While you are not legally required to have a lawyer to file a lawsuit after a car accident in Illinois, hiring one can be highly beneficial, particularly if your case is complex or involves significant damages. Under Chicago law, you may be entitled to compensation if you are not at fault for the accident. A lawyer can help you understand your options and get the best result. Remember, consulting with an attorney after a car accident doesn't obligate you to hire them, but it can provide you with valuable insights about your legal options and potential strategies for your case.
-
Can you sue for a car accident in Illinois?
Yes, you can sue for a car accident in Illinois. If you are involved in a car accident in Illinois, and it was caused by another party's negligence, you can file a lawsuit against that party to recover damages. Illinois follows a "fault" system for car accident claims, meaning the person who caused the accident is responsible for compensating anyone injured or whose property was damaged.
-
For how much can someone sue after a car accident in Illinois?
In Illinois, car accident victims are generally able to sue for economic and non-economic damages caused by the accident. The amount of compensation available in a car accident lawsuit will depend on the specifics of each case and may include lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other losses. It's important to note that Illinois follows a comparative negligence rule. This means that if you were partly at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault. The exact amount you can sue for will depend on the specifics of your case and a qualified attorney.
-
Do you go to trial?
Yes. At The Law Brothers®, we have a reputation for going to trial if we have to. We believe that some cases require a jury trial, and our team of litigators has the experience to take on big insurance companies and opposing injury lawyers. If your case demands it we keep fighting until we win for you. Our personal injury attorneys play a crucial role when it comes to fighting for their clients' rights in court. They are skilled professionals who are well-versed in legal theories related to personal injury, as well as the procedural rules of the court. These attorneys advocate for their clients by presenting compelling evidence and arguments, focusing on establishing the negligence or fault of the opposing party.
