What Does a Personal Injury Attorney Do?

A personal injury attorney represents people who have been physically or psychologically injured due to the negligence of another party — a driver, business, property owner, doctor, or employer. They handle everything from demand letters and insurance negotiations to filing suit and taking cases to trial. Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency, so you pay no out-of-pocket fees.

When Should You Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

  • You have been injured in a car accident, even if you think you might be partially at fault
  • A slip and fall, dog bite, or unsafe property caused your injury
  • A doctor error, surgical mistake, or misdiagnosis harmed you (medical malpractice)
  • You have suffered a workplace injury and your workers comp claim was denied
  • A defective product caused injury to you or a family member
  • You lost a family member due to someone elses negligence (wrongful death)

Personal Injury Attorneys by City in Illinois

How to Choose a Personal Injury Lawyer in Illinois

  1. 1Choose an attorney who focuses on personal injury — not a generalist who handles it occasionally
  2. 2Ask about their specific experience with your type of case (car accident vs. slip/fall vs. malpractice)
  3. 3Confirm contingency fee structure and what percentage they take at settlement vs. trial
  4. 4Ask what expenses (filing fees, expert witnesses) come from the settlement vs. separately
  5. 5Ask how many cases they are currently handling — overextended attorneys settle too quickly

💡 Fee Structure: What to Expect

Personal injury attorneys typically charge 33% of the settlement if resolved pre-suit, and 40% if the case goes to trial. This is paid from the recovery — you pay nothing upfront. Always get the fee agreement in writing.
