Personal Injury 
Lawyers in Illinois

At Uche P.C., we offer a free initial consultation, meaning it costs you nothing to speak with an attorney about your personal injury case. 

‍

In addition, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis. This means that you don’t have to pay a fee unless we recover money for you. Therefore, it doesn’t cost anything to hire Uche P.C. to handle your case. 

‍

Simply walk into our office in Chicago or schedule a free, no-obligation appointment today, and we will get started on helping you pursue the compensation you deserve.

‍

How long your personal injury case takes will depend on whether the claim goes to court. 

‍

If you file an injury claim with an insurance company, there might be a shorter timeline to conclude your case. Insurers in Illinois are required to acknowledge your claim and send paperwork to you within 15 days. If the insurer agrees to pay your claim, they must pay you compensation within 30 days.

‍

But if the claim goes to court, which may happen if the insurer unfairly denies your claim, the case might take longer to conclude. Personal injury lawsuits can take anywhere from a few months to two years from start to finish. If the case involves appeals, it might take even longer.

‍

However, there are many ways your attorney can work to help accelerate your claim. Speak with our lawyers at Uche P.C. to understand your options for a faster resolution.

‍

Our process begins when you walk into our office or fill a contact form on our website. Everyone at Uche P.C., from our attorneys to litigation support staff, understands the difficulty of facing a personal injury. 

‍

Our first step will be to make you comfortable and listen to your story so we can understand where and how to help. Your complete recovery, both financially and medically, is our first priority, so we will aim to learn your medical state and the damage you have suffered. Where necessary, we can support your recovery by connecting you with health or other specialists you require.

‍

After listening to your story, we will advise you of your legal rights and options for compensation. If you choose to hire Uche P.C. as your legal attorneys, we will get to work on devising an approach to help you recover the compensation you deserve.

‍

The best way to tell if you have a good case is to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. An attorney will explain the factors that determine the strength of your case and how much you are able to collect as compensation. 

These factors include:

• The severity of your injuries or the damage you suffered
• The fault of the defendant and their contribution to your injuries
• The existence of witnesses
• The skill and experience of your attorney

‍

Even when you think you might not have a great case, it’s always best to contact a lawyer. An experienced injury lawyer like Attorney Uche can listen to your story and help you come to an informed conclusion on the strength of your case.

‍

Hiring a personal injury attorney can significantly increase your chances of securing a positive outcome in your personal injury case. A study by Nolo found that 91% of people who hired an injury attorney received a settlement, compared to just 51% of those who went alone. 

‍

Some of the actions that we take at Uche P.C. to maximize your chances of a higher payout include:

• Identifying solid legal bases on which to build your personal injury claim
• Uncovering hidden evidence such as CCTV footage and witnesses to aid your claim
• Providing access to a network of health and other specialists to help your recovery
• Negotiating on your behalf with the insurance company to prevent low-ball offers
