FAQs
What is the average settlement time for a Madison County car-crash case?
Straightforward cases often resolve in 6–9 months; disputed-liability claims may reach trial after 18 months or more.
How does Illinois comparative fault affect my recovery?
You can recover damages if you’re 50 percent or less at fault; your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Can I sue for pain and suffering after a slip & fall in a local store?
Yes. Illinois law allows compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
Will my health-insurance company get reimbursed from my settlement?

What does it cost to hire Lake Munro for an injury case?
We work on contingency—no upfront fees and no attorney fee unless we win compensation for you.
