Types of Accidents

While many accidents occur in similar circumstances, each collision involves unique factors, and our attorneys can make sure you take the right steps following a crash to protect your right to financial compensation. We can assist with insurance claims and personal injury lawsuits in a wide variety of motor vehicle collisions, including pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents, bus accidents, and train accidents.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists

Usually, car accident victims can make an insurance claim through the policy of a driver who caused the collision. However, a driver may be uninsured, or their insurance policy may not fully cover a victim's damages. In these cases, a victim may be able to receive uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage under their own auto insurance policy. Our lawyers can help negotiate with insurance companies to make sure injuries and damages are fully covered, and we can help identify any other parties who were liable for a collision.

  • I contacted Kanoski Bresney. I met with Todd and one of his associates. We talked for a better part of an hour. He took my case, and from that moment on, I was up to date on everything. He did more in two weeks than that other attorney did in three years.

  • After a work related injury I was dealing with resistance from an insurance company. I felt lost in a world I knew nothing about the legal world. Kanoski Bresney helped guide me to make the best decision for myself. I am incredibly grateful.

  • Todd handled my case and I thank God for him. He was more than dedicated at getting me the settlement I deserved. He has a good heart and did more than he had to to make sure I was taken care of. Thank you so much

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a time limit for filing a personal injury claim?

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years in most cases. This means that person must file a claim within two years after an accident or within two years after they first knew about an injury. In some cases involving government liability, the statute of limitations is one year.

What is my personal injury claim worth?

The value of a personal injury will be based on a number of factors, including the age and health of the victim, the extent and severity of their injuries, disabilities that have affected the victim's ability to earn an income, the physical and emotional pain and suffering of a victim and their family, and whether an injury occurred because of someone's gross negligence.

Can I receive compensation if I was partially at fault for an injury?

Under the comparative negligence laws in IL, you can pursue compensation as long as you were 50% at fault for your injury or less. If it is determined that you were partially at fault, the compensation you can receive will be reduced by the percentage that you were at fault. If you were 25% at fault, you will receive 75% of the total amount of your damages.

What are my options if I was in a car accident with an uninsured driver?

If an at-fault driver was uninsured, or if their insurance policy will not fully cover your damages, your own insurance policy may provide uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can help you negotiate a settlement with your insurance company and determine whether you have other options for receiving compensation in an accident.
