Personal Injury Attorneys
Representing individuals in Chicago and across Illinois to help win their personal injury cases
What to do if you’ve suffered a personal injury
Our personal injury attorneys are dedicated to representing individuals in personal injury matters in Chicago and Illinois cases. If you have suffered a personal injury due to the negligence of a third party, you should contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Deciding whether to bring forward a personal injury claim
Your ability to move forward with a personal injury claim is often dependent on the following factors:
- You have suffered physical harm due to the actions of another person.
- You are able to prove that another party was at least partially responsible for your personal injury.
- You have acted quickly enough to preserve your right to initiate a claim — this includes seeking medical attention and hiring an Illinois personal injury lawyer to help guide you through the process.
It is important to note that you do not need to prove that you were harmed intentionally. Many Illinois personal injury cases are the result of mistakes or inattention from the party causing the injury. Even in cases where you were partially at fault, you may still be able to move forward with your Illinois personal injury claim. Every situation is different, so the best course of action is to consult an attorney for guidance on your case.
“My personal experience with Rubens Kress and Mulholland was extremely professional along with a great deal of common courtesy towards my wife and I. Mr. Mulholland always called back in a short period of time which speaks volumes to their professional courtesy. I appreciated everything Toby Mulholland has done with regards to my situation. I have and will always continue to recommend Rubens Kress and Mulholland law firm.”
