In 2023 there were 13,748 crashes in Will County, 3,092 of them with injuries and 36 with fatalities, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. Joliet sits where I-80 and I-55 meet, two heavy freight routes, and many of these accidents involve trucks or a public entity: a Pace bus, a city vehicle, or a street in poor condition.
The general rule gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. But when the responsible party is a local public entity, the deadline is cut in half, and many victims only find out after it has passed.
That's why we answer right away: you call or write, a person answers in Spanish within minutes, and your case is evaluated in less than 24 hours, with the exact deadline that applies to you. If you qualify, the lawyer starts requesting camera footage and locating witnesses that same week, before the evidence disappears.

Yes. Workers' compensation and personal injury claims in Illinois protect the injured person regardless of immigration status. The consultation is confidential, and your rights are the same.
In Illinois, every employer with at least one worker is required by law to carry workers' compensation insurance. If they say they don't have it, they broke the law, and there are legal ways to get paid anyway.
Yes. The law lets you choose up to two medical providers you trust, in addition to the ones your employer or the insurance company refers you to.

No cost, no obligation.
Nothing up front.

Crashes on I-80, I-55, and Route 30, and on Larkin, Jefferson, and Collins: cargo trucks, motorcycles, cyclists, pedestrians, and hit-and-run drivers. A lawyer with truck accident experience requests the hours-of-service and maintenance records before they're lost, and tells you how much insurance is available.
Warehouses and distribution centers, freight yards near Elwood, factories, restaurants, cleaning, and landscaping. We file your legal claim with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, with a lawyer experienced in workers' compensation who fights the insurer's denials.
Heights, scaffolds, trenches, and machinery on the area's warehouse and highway construction sites. We check whether, besides the work claim, there's a contractor or manufacturer you can sue, with much higher compensation.
Slips and falls in stores, parking lots, and buildings, dog bites, medical malpractice, and wrongful death. If you lost a family member, a wrongful death lawsuit has its own rules, and we explain them at no cost.
More than one in three Joliet residents is Latino (34.2%, according to the Census Bureau). Our services reach Plainfield, Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Lockport, and the rest of the county.
Downtown, the East Side, and the West Side. Crashes on Larkin Avenue, Jefferson Street, and Route 30, pedestrian and motorcycle accidents on the main roads, and warehouse injuries.
Crashes on Route 53 and I-355, and injuries at plants, shops, and distribution centers.
The northwest: crashes on Route 59 and I-55, and falls on construction sites.

Five state rules that change your case, explained without legal jargon.
Two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, and half that time when the responsible party is a local public entity, such as the city, the county, Pace, or a school district. Knowing which one applies to you is the first thing we check.
You can recover as long as your share of fault is 50% or less, with the amount reduced by that percentage. Once you reach 51%, you lose the right to compensation.
Every auto policy in the state must include uninsured motorist protection. If the driver who hit you had no insurance, your own policy may pay.
Preferably in writing. And remember that you can choose your own doctors, something many employers "forget" to mention.
The Will County Circuit Court, the 12th Judicial Circuit, is in downtown Joliet. Injury lawsuits from the whole area are handled there, and that's where it pays to arrive with legal representation that knows how it works.
