If you have been injured by no fault of your own you need an experienced attorney to help you get you the relief and compensation you deserve.

​

The attorneys at Langfitt know what you are going through. We understand that your injury can be very traumatic and stressful to both you and your family, and that you have questions about the complex insurance claims process. Our lawyers will give you honest and straight answers to all of your questions, and explain your right to recover for personal injuries and the associated costs of medical bills, property damage,  lost wages, as well as any other harm caused to you as a result of the accident. 

​

Whether you need immediate representation, or would like us to review your existing claim, please contact us at 847.301.4250 or complete out our contact form.

​

Don't let the insurance company tell you what your case is worth. Your case is worth more than the insurance company wants to admit.

​

How much will hiring a lawyer cost? People mistakenly believe that hiring a lawyer is expensive. At Langfitt we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you owe us nothing unless we win your case. Our fees come from the proceeds of what we recover for you, so you will never see a bill in the mail.

​

Do you have a claim?
Following a car accident you may be questioning whether you have a right to file a claim. In order to be able to file a claim to collect for damages your accident must have been:
​
  • Caused by another person's negligence; and,
  • You and/or a family member were seriously hurt in that accident.
​
Our attorneys can help explain whether your case meets these criteria and whether your injuries are serious enough to merit a claim.
​
What to do immediately following an accident
​
  • Do not leave the scene. Illinois law requires that you remain at the scene of an accident.
  • If you are in pain, remain in your vehicle if the situation permits it and it is not dangerous to do so. Alert any person present that you are injured and in pain.
  • Contact the police for help. You will need to file a police report and explain how the accident occurred.
  • Leave your vehicle where it is unless it is blocking traffic or it is dangerous to do so.
  • If you are able, take photographs of the damage to all of the vehicles involved as well as of the scene.
  • If you are injured go to the hospital immediately. If it is necessary request that an ambulance take you to the emergency room. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations and to follow up with your doctor as necessary.
  • Contact your insurance company and advise them of the accident.
  • If you are contacted by the other party's insurance company do not speak with them until after you have spoken with an attorney. Your desire to speak with the other party's insurer may be from a good faith desire to explain your side of the story and show that you were not at fault, but you must understand that the other party's insurance company is already working to minimize their liability and your claim. In other words, they are working hard to build their defense against your claim. You must be aware that even your innocent comments can be manipulated and used against you. That is why the best way to protect your interests and rights is to work through your attorney when dealing with the other party's insurer.
