Why Personal Injury Law Matters

Injury law is about more than just filing paperwork or going to court. It’s about helping people during one of the hardest times in their lives. When you’re hurt, you may be dealing with:

• Pain from the injury

• Time away from work

• Expensive medical bills

• Insurance companies refusing to help

• Emotional stress and frustration

Schwaner Injury Law helps by taking care of the legal side so you can focus on getting better. They don’t charge anything upfront, and you only pay if they win your case.

Car Accident Lawyers in Chicago

Car crashes can cause serious damage—both physically and financially. Even if it’s not your fault, insurance companies may try to delay your claim or offer less than you need. Schwaner

Injury Law knows how to fight back and get what’s fair.

They help with all types of car accident cases, including:

• Rear-end collisions

• T-bone accidents at intersections

• Drunk driving crashes

• Distracted driving crashes

• Accidents with uninsured or underinsured drivers

You may be owed money for your medical care, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain. The firm helps collect evidence like photos, police reports, and medical records to build a strong case.

Help for Victims of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are often worse than car crashes. When a large truck hits a smaller vehicle, the injuries can be life-changing—or even deadly. These cases are also more complex. You’re often dealing with more than just the driver—there may be a trucking company, freight handler, or insurance company involved.

Schwaner Injury Law investigates every angle. They look at:

• Driver fatigue and logbooks

• Brake inspections and maintenance records

• Trucking company safety practices

• Video footage from dashcams or traffic cameras

If a trucking company was careless, they should be held responsible. The firm works to make sure their clients get the help they need.

Slip and Fall Accidents: More Serious Than You Think

It only takes a second to slip and fall, but the injuries can last a long time. Broken bones, back pain, and head injuries are common. These falls often happen in public places, like:

• Grocery stores

• Malls and retail shops

• Parking lots

• Apartment buildings

• Sidewalks or stairways

Property owners have a duty to keep their space safe. If they knew about a hazard and didn’t fix it—or didn’t warn you about it—they may be legally responsible.

Schwaner Injury Law gathers photos, witness statements, and maintenance records to show what really happened.

Dog Bites and Animal Attack Cases

Dogs are great pets, but not all owners take responsibility for them. If a dog attacks someone, the injuries can be scary and serious—especially for children.

In Illinois, dog owners are legally responsible if their dog bites someone without being provoked. That means if you were minding your own business and a dog bit you, the owner may owe you compensation.

Schwaner Injury Law helps with:

• Emergency medical care

• Infections or scars from bites

• Plastic surgery

• Emotional trauma

• Long-term treatment

They work with both adults and children who’ve been bitten. These are emotional cases, and the team handles them with extra care.

Injured on the Job? Workers’ Compensation Help

Workplace injuries can happen in almost any job. Maybe you fell from a ladder on a construction site. Maybe you hurt your back lifting boxes at a warehouse. Or maybe you tripped and fell in an office building. No matter what happened, if you were hurt while working, you may qualify for workers’ compensation.

Schwaner Injury Law helps injured workers get:

• Medical bills paid

• Wage replacement while recovering

• Disability benefits for long-term injuries

• Help returning to work or finding a new job

They also help if your claim was denied or delayed. If your boss or their insurance company is giving you trouble, this firm knows how to fight back.

Motorcycle Accident Representation

Motorcyclists are more exposed on the road, and when crashes happen, the injuries can be severe. Unfortunately, bikers are often blamed even when they didn’t cause the accident.

Schwaner Injury Law helps motorcycle accident victims recover from:

• Road rash

• Head and brain injuries

• Broken bones

• Spinal injuries

• Long-term medical issues

They fight the common myths about motorcyclists and make sure your side of the story is told. They understand bikes, and they understand biker rights.

Nursing Home Neglect and Elder Abuse

Nursing homes are supposed to be safe, caring places. Sadly, that’s not always the case. Sometimes, older adults are left alone too long, given the wrong medication, or even abused by staff.

Schwaner Injury Law handles cases involving:

• Bedsores

• Falls from beds or wheelchairs

• Dehydration or malnutrition

• Physical or emotional abuse

• Neglect during medical emergencies

If your loved one has been harmed in a nursing home, they can help you get answers and justice.

Wrongful Death Support for Families

Losing a loved one in an accident is heartbreaking. If the death was caused by someone else’s actions—or their failure to act—you may be able to file a wrongful death claim.

This kind of case can help pay for:

• Funeral costs

• Medical bills from before death

• Lost income the person would’ve earned

• Emotional and personal losses

Schwaner Injury Law handles these cases with care and compassion. They understand that money won’t replace your loved one—but it can help bring peace and support during a difficult time.

What Kind of Compensation Can You Receive?

Injury cases can lead to different types of compensation, depending on your situation. Schwaner Injury Law helps people get paid for:

• Hospital stays

• Surgery or specialist care

• Physical therapy

• Lost wages from missing work

• Pain and suffering

• Mental health treatment

• Disability or long-term limitations

• Damage to your car or property

They work with doctors, physical therapists, and experts to figure out how the injury will affect you now—and in the future.

The Legal Process Explained Simply

If you’ve never hired a lawyer before, the process might feel confusing. Schwaner Injury Law makes it easy and clear. Here’s what usually happens:

1. Free consultation – You tell your story, and they listen.

2. Case review – They decide if you have a strong case.

3. Investigation – They gather medical records, photos, police reports, and more.

4. Negotiation – They talk with the insurance company for you.

5. Lawsuit (if needed) – If no fair deal is offered, they’ll take the case to court.

6. Settlement or verdict – If you win, they help you collect the money.

And remember, you don’t pay anything unless they win. So there’s no risk in reaching out.
