How Anesi Ozmon Can Help with Your Auto Accident Claim

Motor vehicle accidents can leave victims with serious injuries and permanent disabilities. Unfortunately, even if you have suffered a catastrophic injury or have lost a loved one in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, insurance companies often make it extremely difficult to obtain fair compensation. By working with an experienced law firm, like Anesi Ozmon, you can better ensure that you receive the compensation you are entitled to under the law.

We assist clients who have suffered all types of motor vehicle accidents and injuries. Our car accident practice includes:

  • Distracted driver accidents
  • Drunk driving/DUI accidents
  • Head-on collisions
  • Teen driving accidents
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorists


Whether another driver, the vehicle manufacturer, a mechanic, or another party was at fault in your accident, our Chicago auto attorneys can help you seek maximum compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We focus our practice exclusively on helping injury victims. Since our founding in 1955, we have recovered substantial, often record-breaking verdicts and settlements for thousands of clients.

How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Illinois?

In Illinois, you typically have two years from the date of the accident (or injury) to file a car accident lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations and, if it expires, you will be unable to sue the liable party for damages.

After a fatal car accident, eligible surviving individuals also have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the person or party responsible for the crash. In cases involving property damage only, you have five years to sue the liable person or party for damages.

When Should You Get an Attorney for a Car Accident?

If you were injured in a car accident, it’s always a good idea to reach out to a personal injury attorney who offers free consultations. Even if you think your injury is minor, you never know if that injury could lead to physical therapy, needing a specialist, or other special treatment. An attorney can help you get the maximum compensation possible.

If you’re not sure you can afford treatment, your injury is serious (or you aren’t sure how serious it is), or you missed work due to your injuries, getting the opinion of a personal injury attorney is crucial. You will almost certainly have to deal with insurance companies and they will focus on paying you the least amount possible. An experienced Chicago car accident attorney will take you seriously and represent your best interests.

Why Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

If you were recently involved in a car accident, you are likely facing significant hardships. From getting proper medical attention to managing everyday expenses while out of work, you should be focused on taking care of yourself and your physical recovery—not on dealing with the insurance company and fighting for a fair settlement.

Unfortunately, insurance companies often do everything they can to avoid paying claimants the full amount they are owed. The insurance adjuster may try to assign you more than 50 percent of the blame, or they may insist that your injuries were a preexisting condition. This can negatively impact your recovery and may prohibit you from seeking compensation at all.

When you work with our Chicago car accident attorneys, however, we can handle all interactions with the insurance company on your behalf. We know how to counter common insurance company tactics used to dispute or deny claims, and we have a long history of success in securing favorable settlements for our clients. Whenever necessary, we are prepared to take cases to trial and represent the interests of our clients in court.
