Our firm is client focused and dedicated to being responsive to you and your needs. You want to work with an attorney, not always be shuffled off to a paralegal or legal assistant.

In addition, we will provide you honest, fair representation. We will give you an honest assessment of your case and work with you to maximize your compensation.
It’s important for you to hire a personal injury lawyer who focuses his or her practice on personal injury law. There are a lot of good general attorneys out there but why consult with a business attorney about a car accident?

Managing Partner Barry Zlotowicz is a Chicago car accident lawyer with an unusual style and dedication to his clients.

Reasons to Call Now
Our consultation is 100% free – Call us at 847-305-4105 – I enjoy discussing the viability of cases with prospective clients. Together we may find an approach that another attorney has not thought of. You will never pay any money out of your pocket. We do NOT charge a retainer fee.
Our policy is – if there is No Recovery, there is No Fee. Also, we will front the costs of your case and we will only be reimbursed for our costs if there is a successful resolution of your case. We do not charge a fee for settling your property damage claim and we never charge a fee for recovery of medpay insurance.
Motorcycle Accidents
Few Chicago injury attorneys have been involved in as many motorcycle accident cases as Barry Zlotowicz. That provides our clients a unique advantage when dealing with insurance companies. Few attorneys are familiar with the pain and suffering caused by road rash, or understand the need to obtain compensation for aftermarket parts. If you haven’t done these cases, you wouldn’t know. A Chicago motorcycle accident lawyer does know however and that can only benefit you should you retain the Chicago Legal Group to represent you.
Also, if we cannot help you, we may know someone who can. If you choose to proceed on your own, we can also provide valuable insight into dealing with the insurance company.
Insurance Companies
Automobile insurance companies make health insurance companies look like nice guys. That’s how skewed the auto insurance industry is against people filing claims for damages. Think of it this way, if as a company, State Farm can save $1,000.00 per claim times 1,000,000 claims, they can save a huge amount of money.
Therefore, the goal of all auto insurance companies, from Allstate to Farmers Insurance, is to deny, delay and diminish the amount of money they pay you for your injuries. That is why we always say, even if you do not hire our firm, hire an attorney to fight the insurance company for you. In almost all circumstances, you will recover more while represented by an attorney than you will if you represent yourself.
One word of caution: when you first file your claim, the insurance company will act very nice and assure you that you are “in good hands”. They will ask you for a recorded statement – Do Not give a recorded statement. Call a lawyer first at 847-305-4105 to learn why they want to get you on the record.
What’s Your Case Worth?
The most asked question we get is, how much is my case worth? That is a very difficult question to answer. It depends on many different factors, including, among other things: the severity of your injuries, the nature and extent of your medical treatment, how you’re your medical bills are, what insurance company we are dealing with, and more. For an in depth discussion of this topic, read my blog article entitled How much is my case worth.
How much does it cost to hire a Chicago car accident lawyer?
NO RECOVERY NO FEE – Personal injury attorneys do not get paid like business or divorce attorneys. We do NOT charge an hourly rate. We get paid on a contingency fee basis. This means, we only recover a fee if you recover. Our fee is 33.3% of the gross recovery if the case is resolved before litigation and 40% if a lawsuit is filed. As stated above, we will cover all the costs associated with your case and if there is no recovery, you won’t owe us a cent.
