The personal injury claims process is very complex and can be overwhelming for many accident victims. While many people expect insurance companies to oversee the process in an equitable manner, these major companies consistently put their interests before accident victims, attempting to manipulate people into settling for a smaller payout. With an experienced attorney from Halliday McCall, we will make sure you are awarded the highest settlement possible.

This is a common question many clients have. The truth is, every case is different. To better determine the value of your claim, you must take into consideration the cost of your past, present, and future medical expenses. Claims can also include pain and suffering, property damage, lost wages and lost earning capacity, and rehabilitation.

Halliday McCall accepts personal injury cases on a contingency basis. This means our clients will not pay a dime unless we win their case. If we don’t win, the client owes nothing.

Every type of case has a statute of limitations. This means that you only have a certain amount of time to file your claim. In Illinois, the statute of limitations is generally two years for an auto accident claim, but some matters have as little as 6 months and 1 year depending who is at fault. Worker compensation claims must give notice within 45 days to their employers; Some employment claims are limited to 180 days. Since time is of the essence, don’t put off seeking legal help. Other statutes for limitations can be much shorter and many people do not realize the short window they have to file their claim. *Disclaimer: different types of cases have their own statute of limitations, please call and ask about your situation.
