We Specialize In The Most Devastating Types Of Injuries

Shuman Legal® has been building its reputation as the best car accident lawyer in Chicago Illinois since 1996 with a team that focuses on these specific types of injuries. We know what to expect with your case and will come in ready to win the maximum settlement possible.

Why Choose Shuman Legal as Your Personal Injury Lawyers?

After a serious accident, your top priority should be healing-not battling insurance companies for the compensation you deserve. Unfortunately, handling a personal injury claim alone can be overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

At Shuman Legal Personal Injury Lawyers, our experienced team knows how to fight for your rights while keeping the process as stress-free as possible. We can:

  • Offer clear legal advice so you understand your options
  • Handle all case paperwork and deadlines for you
  • Investigate the accident to gather strong evidence
  • Communicate and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf
  • Take your case to trial if a fair settlement isn’t offered

Did you know that people who hire personal injury lawyers typically receive significantly higher settlements than those who handle claims on their own? We know Illinois laws, court procedures, and insurance company tactics—and we’ll work tirelessly to get you the maximum compensation you deserve.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Illinois

An unexpected injury can leave you with growing medical bills, lost income, and long-term effects on your quality of life. We fight to hold the at-fault party accountable and help you recover damages for both financial losses and emotional harm.

We represent clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

  • Car Accidents – Whether it’s a reckless driver or dangerous road conditions, we investigate to identify all responsible parties.
  • Truck Accidents – Big trucks cause big injuries. We know how to handle complex cases involving multiple liable parties.
  • Motorcycle Accidents – Insurance companies often resist paying fair compensation to injured riders. We fight for your rights.
  • Pedestrian Accidents – Even a low-speed impact can cause catastrophic injuries. We hold negligent drivers accountable.
  • Wrongful Death – When negligence leads to tragedy, we help surviving families seek justice and compensation.
  • Workers’ Compensation – We fight for workers whose claims have been denied or undervalued.
  • Medical Malpractice – From misdiagnosis to surgical errors, we hold medical providers responsible when they fail to meet standards of care.
  • Slip and Fall Accidents – Property owners must keep their premises safe. We help prove liability when they fail to do so.
  • Dog Bites – Illinois law holds owners accountable for injuries caused by their pets.
  • Catastrophic Injuries – Including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and other life-changing harm.

How We Prove Negligence in Illinois Injury Cases

Most personal injury claims are based on negligence—the failure to act with reasonable care. To win your case, we gather evidence to prove that:

  1. Someone owed you a duty of care
  2. They breached that duty
  3. You suffered injuries
  4. Their actions directly caused your damages

Our team handles every detail, so you can focus on recovery while we build the strongest case possible.

Types of Compensation Available

Every injury case is unique, but you may be entitled to several types of compensation, including:

Economic Damages

These cover your financial losses, such as:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Future medical care
  • Property damage

Non-Economic Damages

Accidents take a toll on your emotional well-being and quality of life. We fight for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress (anxiety, PTSD, depression)
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Punitive Damages

In rare cases of extreme recklessness or intentional harm, Illinois courts may award additional damages designed to punish the wrongdoer and discourage others from similar behavior.
