FAQs
How long does a St Clair County med-mal case usually take?
Complex medical-malpractice lawsuits often run 18–24 months because Illinois requires a physician’s affidavit of merit.
What if the at-fault driver lives in Missouri?
Dual licensure lets us file in Illinois or pursue the defendant across the river in St Louis County—whichever maximizes recovery.
Can I recover lost tips or gig-worker income by filing a case?
Yes. We document average earnings through bank records and app statements to claim every dollar you’re owed.
Will my health-insurance lien reduce my payout?
We negotiate lien reductions so more of the settlement ends up in your pocket.
Do I need to attend every court appearance?
Usually not. Your attorney can appear on routine motions, allowing you to focus on treatment and work.
