We are a relationship-driven injury law firm that takes a “concierge”-level approach to not just representing, but truly serving our clients. Relationships are at the center of our practice philosophy – with our clients and with a variety of professionals that can facilitate the resolution of cases, such as doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, insurance agencies and others. All of us at Feagans Law Group are dedicated to using our knowledge, experience and relationships to Guide Your Path to Justice. 

We are committed to offer each client respect, compassion and understanding while supporting them in a difficult time in their lives. Relationships are at the center of our practice philosophy and this means that in addition to support at all stages of the process, we also strive to educate our clients about the injury claim process, what type of evidence can bolster the claim value, the importance of seeking excellent healthcare providers to take care of their needs, and the best way to resolve medical bills. The process can be difficult for any accident victim, but we do our best to make it as easy as possible to handle.

While our firm is experienced in all types of injury and wrongful death cases, the most common type of case we handle are automobile accidents involving neck or back injuries.  This is not surprising because according to national statistics, the most common type of injury resulting from a car accident is neck and back pain.  In fact, almost 50% of all car accidents will result in reported neck or back injuries with the majority of injuries being the result of “low impact” collisions.

The most important thing to know is that in many injury-related cases you may be entitled to some form of compensation as a result of the injury. This may include medical expenses, lost wages, other professional fees and in some cases, compensation for pain and suffering. In minor situations, and if you have a reputable insurance company, your claim for a simple accident can be successfully handle this way. However, when you or a family member is involved in a serious accident, of any kind, the help of an attorney may be the best course of action to ensure that you receive the appropriate compensation for your case. 

Depending on the seriousness of your injury, we recommend consulting an attorney as soon as possible after the accident. It is important that you act swiftly to ensure that a timely and proper investigation of the accident occurs in order to identify all the parties that might be responsible for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

The information needed for each case may differ, based on the type of injury. 

However, at a minimum, for most accident cases, a police report is an important first step. This report usually includes location of the accident, dates, names and addresses of people involved, some details about the occurrence, etc. Other helpful information would be pictures of the accident, names of possible witnesses, the other party’s insurance information. If you were taken to a hospital, copy of diagnosis, medical notes and discharge papers is also important. Since each case may require different information, we invite you to contact us for a free case evaluation.

When you are injured as a result of an accident, there may situations when no one is at fault—accidents happen. However, when your accident is a result of negligence, sometimes present in car accidents, incompetence, as in cases of medical malpractice, poor safety practices, as in construction accidents -- the injured party (you) should be entitled to some type of compensation. The help of an experienced lawyer becomes an important element to get the justice you deserve. 

While we have a stellar success rate, the circumstances of each case and the results we are able to attain for each client vary greatly – often depending on the severity of our clients’ injuries and the amount of insurance that is available to compensate our clients.  Ultimately, our promise to each client is that we will work tirelessly to maximize the compensation they receive for the losses they have and are yet to endure.  

Unfortunately, there is no true time frame in which a claim will resolve.  Most claims that resolve in settlement prior to the filing of a lawsuit will take somewhere from 5 to 6 months to 2 years after an injury to reach settlement.  Claims that result in a lawsuit could take several years to reach settlement or only resolve after trial.  There are a variety of factors that might play into whether a claim settles quickly or takes a longer time period to resolve including the severity of injuries, the time needed for treatment, the severity and cause of an accident, the amount of insurance coverage available and the willingness of an insurance company to properly evaluate your claim, among others.

Each case is different, but in general, the more complex cases involving serious injuries, multiple parties or unique circumstances tend to take longer to be resolved. Complex cases sometimes involve resolution by trial, thus impacting the time to get the issues resolved. 

Yes, in many cases.  When an attorney is not consulted early in the case, it is possible that mistakes are made, thus weakening the case and delaying the successful resolution. Particularly in cases of serious injury, it is essential to engage the help of an attorney as early as possible. 

Yes, it is possible that even if you are ticketed in an accident, you could recover for the injuries you sustained in the accident.  First, traffic tickets alone are generally not admissible in court.  In an injury case, the determination of who is at fault for the accident is a decision reserved for the jury alone – not a police officer.  Second, in Illinois, even if you are partially at fault for causing an accident, as long as your fault is not more than 50% of the fault attributable in an accident, you could still have the right to recover compensation commensurate with the other driver’s degree of fault.  However, if you plead guilty to a ticket, the guilty plea could be admissible at the trial of your injury claim.  It is key to consult  an experienced attorney in such situations to ensure you are protected. We offer a free case evaluation to help determine how we can best serve you. 

Yes. We work to provide insurance companies with the information they need to properly evaluate and compensate you for your injuries.

Our goal is to become your trusted advisor in all aspects of your accident-related situations.
