Rolling Meadows, IL Personal Injury Lawyer

Attorney for Accident Claims in Cook County and DuPage County

If you have been seriously hurt in an accident or suffered injury as the result of another party's negligence or wrongdoing, your expenses can quickly mount up.

You may be able to collect compensation from the party at fault, but you need to act quickly. The statute of limitations in Illinois requires that you file a claim in civil court within two years of the date of a personal injury.

At Hartsfield Law, we are dedicated to providing attentive service to our clients, from the moment we start investigating your case until we reach a final settlement for damages, either through a trial or an out-of-court settlement. We are well-versed in the tort and liability laws that apply to personal injury cases in Illinois, so you can rest assured that your case will be in capable hands. We will not be satisfied until you receive full compensation for all that you have suffered.

• General damages are monetary compensation for harm not easily measured in dollars, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of companionship.
• Punitive damages are a monetary award that is primarily intended to punish the other party for conduct that was truly malicious, grossly negligent, or fraudulent, and also to deter others from such behavior in the future.
