Marker Law handles car crashes, truck and delivery vehicle accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian accidents, slip and fall claims, premises liability, construction accidents, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and work-related injury matters.

Marker Law represents personal injury clients on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no upfront attorney fees. You pay attorney fees only if the case results in a financial recovery. Personal injury fees are typically around one-third of the recovery, though the exact fee can vary based on the circumstances and type of claim.

Get medical care as soon as possible, report the incident when appropriate, take photos, gather witness information, and avoid giving recorded statements to insurers before speaking with an attorney. Keep all bills, discharge papers, and work-loss documentation. Early legal guidance helps preserve evidence, identify liable parties, and prevent insurance companies from using your statements against your claim.

Many Illinois personal injury claims have a two-year statute of limitations, but some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities or specific procedural requirements. Workers’ compensation claims also have separate notice and filing rules. Speaking with an attorney early helps protect deadlines, preserve evidence, and determine which claims may apply to your situation.

Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still recover compensation if you were less than 50% at fault, but your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to shift blame, so a thorough investigation, witness evidence, photos, expert review, and strong legal presentation can be critical.

Compensation may include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, and loss of normal life. In wrongful death claims, surviving family members may pursue funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship. The value depends on evidence, liability, and injury severity.

Many injury cases resolve through negotiation or mediation, but some require litigation when insurers refuse fair compensation. Marker Law prepares claims carefully from the beginning, which strengthens settlement discussions and preserves the ability to go further when needed. Jason Marker’s 25+ years of litigation experience helps clients understand each stage and make informed decisions.
