In another case, we obtained a record recovery of $100 million in a combined trucking accident and product liability case. Six children were wrongfully killed. The incident prompted an investigation that eventually led to the conviction of 74 wrongdoers, including a former Illinois Governor, and also mandated that more than 2,000 truck drivers be retested.We fight for change and we fight for justice.

What is personal injury?When it comes to tort claims, liability and damages are two sides of the same coin. Liability can be an intentional act, negligence, or strict liability. Damages refers to the resulting physical, emotional, or financial loss suffered as a result of the liability. These principles form the foundation for all personal injury lawsuits.What is the time limit for filing a lawsuit? According to 735 ILCS 5/13-202, the civil statute of limitation for injuries to a person in Illinois is two years. The two years may start from the date of injury, date of diagnosis, or vary if the case has a criminal component.What are damages and how are they calculated?Damages refers to the sum of money awarded to the plaintiff as a result of a personal injury lawsuit. It is a remedy in tort law offered to the harmed party. In Illinois, there are no caps on damages. The law allows for fair and just compensation for the harmed party in the form of economic, noneconomic, and punitive damages. Damages are assessed by taking into account medical expenses, disfigurement, disability, loss of normal life, likelihood of future harm, and more.Will my case go to trial? More than 90% of defendants plead guilty instead of taking their case to trial, while 97% of civil cases are settled rather than going to trial. In the decade between 1992 and 2001, the number of civil cases tried in court dropped from 22,451 to 11,908. Statistically, the odds are in the favor of the settlement table, but our team of trial lawyers frequently litigates personal injury cases at trial. Since 1993 when we first opened the doors of our law practice, Power Rogers has handled some of the largest personal injury cases for plaintiffs in the state of Illinois – and won. With our experience, we aren t afraid to stand up to large corporations and insurance companies in court. Power Rogers has won more than $4 billion in verdicts and settlements for its clients – that s $900 million more than our closest competitor since 2000. These results include many record-setting and regulation-changing outcomes as well, including a $100 million settlement for victims of a trucking accident – Illinois largest injury award to a single family. Victims of tragic and life-altering accidents are suffering – physically, emotionally, and financially. We take the financial burden off victims by working on a contingent fee. This means that you do not pay unless/until we secure a financial recovery for you. You focus on healing. We ll take care of the rest.
