Why Consider Hiring a Chicago Car Accident Lawyer?
Some people try handling claims alone — but insurance companies have lawyers, adjusters, and established strategies designed to reduce payments.
A lawyer can help you:
Level the playing field
We recognize common insurer tactics and push back, presenting evidence and arguments that support your claim’s real value.
Access experts and resources
We can connect with medical professionals, vocational experts, and accident specialists who help strengthen your case.
Defend against blame
Illinois uses comparative negligence. If the insurer blames you, your compensation may be reduced — or denied. We work to minimize any unfair fault assigned to you.

What Is My Car Accident Case Worth?
No two car accident cases are alike. Your compensation depends on multiple factors, such as:
- Severity and type of injuries
- Whether your injuries affect work or daily life
- Available insurance coverage
- Evidence of fault
- Whether a commercial vehicle or multiple drivers were involved
- Any fault attributed to you
- Long-term medical needs and rehabilitation
We carefully evaluate both your current losses and future needs — so you aren’t left paying out-of-pocket later.
Deadlines for Filing a Car Accident Claim in Illinois
In most cases, Illinois law gives injured victims two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Property-damage-only claims generally have a five-year deadline.
Some exceptions may shorten — or extend — these limits.
The safest step? Contact Amana Law as soon as possible so your rights are protected and evidence is preserved.
Damages You May Be Able To Recover
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Economic damages
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Rehabilitation costs
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Property damage
Non-economic damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship (in certain cases)
In rare situations involving extreme misconduct — such as drunk or reckless driving — punitive damages may also be available.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire Amana Law?
We work on a contingency fee basis.
- No upfront fees
- No hourly billing
- You only pay if we win
Our fee is a pre-agreed percentage of the recovery, and we discuss everything clearly before moving forward.
Can I Recover Compensation if I’m Partly at Fault?
Yes — in many cases.
Illinois follows modified comparative negligence. You can still recover compensation if you are less than 51% responsible, but your award may be reduced based on your share of fault.
An attorney can help limit unfair blame and protect your claim.

Determining Fault in a Chicago Car Accident
Most cases require proving negligence, meaning someone failed to act reasonably.
We look at whether:
- The driver owed you a duty of care
- They breached that duty (speeding, texting, etc.)
- That breach caused the crash
- You suffered damages as a result
Evidence may include:
- Police reports
- Medical records
- Photos and video footage
- Witness statements
- Expert analysis
Building the right evidence can make all the difference.
Who Could Be Liable?
Depending on the case, liable parties may include:
- Other drivers
- Trucking companies
- Employers of negligent drivers
- Manufacturers of defective vehicle parts
- Government entities responsible for dangerous road conditions
We identify all responsible parties to maximize potential recovery.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
Most car accident claims settle — but sometimes litigation is necessary.
If trial becomes the best path, we prepare thoroughly and continue negotiating along the way.
