The statute of limitations for accident and injury claims in Illinois is two years, according to the state’s Code of Civil Procedure. That means you have two years from the date of most injuries, or from when you discovered the injury, to file a claim.
If you or your loved one has a “legal disability,” such as being under the age of 18, you have two years from the date the disability ends, or you turn 20, to file a claim.
If you were injured because of somebody else’s negligence, there is no time to wait. You only have one chance to recover full compensation, and the clock is already ticking. Call a Chicago accident and injury attorney at Burger Law today at (314) 500-HURT.

In small fender-benders or with less severe injuries, you might get a fair settlement offer from an insurance company. But if your injury is severe, the liable party refuses to take responsibility for their actions, the defendant is a large corporation like a trucking company or there were multiple parties involved, it is almost always worth it to get an accident and injury attorney.
Insurance companies use a lot of tricks to devalue your claim or avoid paying it together. Every Burger Law accident and injury attorney has dedicated their lives to standing up to bullies who do not want to give you the compensation they owe you.

Client Reviews
Year of 2023 
This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!

Genevieve and Laura have assisted me in my personal injury claim and have made the process so much less stressful. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Laura is always on top of everything and very sweet. I had no idea how to navigate this process and they have made me feel at ease and like they truly cared about the outcome.
It has been a long 4 years, but it is finally over! Burger law did a great job handling my case. Grant Doty answered all my questions, promptly returned my phone calls, frequently kept me updated and insured me that he was fighting for me. Jennifer Zini also did a wonderful job, great customer service. It was pleasure getting to know the Burger Law team!
After a driver unexpectedly pulled out right in front of my motorcycle & I suffered injuries, the at-fault driver’s insurance company offered me a $10,000 settlement. I hired Burger Law & they won a $109,000 settlement. I was very happy with the outcome. They were easy to work with & fully explained each step of the process & kept me informed along the way.
