Grundy County Personal Injury Lawyer

Experienced Personal Injury Attorney Fighting for Your Rights in Morris, Minooka, Verona and Coal City
Has someone in your family been injured as a result of another's negligence or wrongdoing? For example, perhaps you were hurt in a car wreck caused by a reckless driver, or your mother was injured by negligence at a nursing home. If so, as long as the victim was less than 50% at fault for the incident, you could be entitled to compensation under Illinois law.
You may think that a personal injury case is as simple as accepting a quick settlement offer from an insurance company. However, you must realize that the insurance company's first interest is their own wallet. If you settle too quickly—or even speak to an insurance company without consulting your own attorney first—you could end up with far less money than you will need to meet your long-term needs.
When someone in your family has been severely injured, you could be facing massive expenses such as:
- Hospital bills not covered by your health insurance
- Loss of income from the victim and/or their caregivers
- Physical therapy, counseling, and other long-term services
- Pain and suffering of the victim
- Loss of companionship suffered by the victim's family
Again, if anyone representing the at-fault party contacts you, be forewarned that their interests lie in minimizing the scope of your injuries and pushing for the fastest and lowest financial settlement.
At McNamara Phelan McSteen, LLC, our interests are aligned with your best interests. Our goal is to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation for all of your expenses and losses.
