Injury victims often face overwhelming medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress.
Our Elgin personal injury attorneys work tirelessly to secure the maximum compensation you’re entitled to, covering both immediate and long-term losses.
Many people believe insurance companies will offer fair settlements, but that’s rarely the case.
Insurance companies are often motivated to minimize payouts. Our Elgin personal injury attorneys ensure you aren’t shortchanged and will negotiate aggressively on your behalf. While you’re not legally required to hire an attorney, having one on your side can significantly increase your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve.
Insurance companies often offer low-ball settlements to resolve claims quickly and cheaply. These offers rarely cover the full extent of your medical bills, lost wages, and long-term suffering. Our Elgin personal injury attorneys are dedicated to maximizing your claim. They will work tirelessly to ensure you recover the compensation you are entitled to, including past and future medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Dealing with insurance companies can be overwhelming, especially when recovering from an injury. Insurers are skilled at minimizing payouts and may try to pressure you into accepting a settlement far below what you deserve. Our Elgin injury lawyers take the stress out of the process by managing all communications and negotiations with the insurance company, ensuring your rights are protected and you receive a fair and equitable settlement.
Insurance companies often try to avoid going to trial because it’s expensive and time-consuming for them. However, they may not take your claim seriously if they know you’re unwilling to go to court. Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer sends a clear message to the insurer that you’re ready to fight for the compensation you deserve. If negotiations fail, we are fully prepared to file a lawsuit in Kane County Circuit Court, ensuring that your case is taken seriously and your interests are fully represented. Many injury victims aren’t comfortable filing a lawsuit on their own or threatening an insurance adjuster with legal action, but that’s where we step in. We handle the legal process every step of the way.
At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, we can help you with virtually any personal injury situation, but we have particularly broad experience with motor vehicle accidents.
Car accident cases require a lot of evidence gathering. Police reports, debris fields, and eyewitness accounts require a special set of investigative skills that we’ve honed for over 20 years. We know all the insurance companies, and they know we mean business. We understand you’re hurting. When you call, you’ll always speak with a Staver attorney, not an assistant.
If you were in an accident involving a commercial truck, know that these cases are handled very differently from typical car accidents. For example, commercial trucks are required by federal law to carry substantial insurance, which can be helpful during your claim. Additionally, data can be collected immediately from the truck’s electronic control modules (the black box).

Our attorneys will hold negligent property owners accountable if you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident due to hazardous conditions—such as wet floors, poor lighting, or uneven surfaces. These cases often occur in retail stores, apartment complexes, and other public places in Elgin, and we have extensive experience building strong cases for victims to recover medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
When you seek medical care, you trust that healthcare professionals will provide proper treatment. Unfortunately, medical errors such as misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, medication errors, and birth injuries can cause significant harm. Our attorneys in Elgin are skilled in holding doctors, nurses, and hospitals accountable for their negligence. We work closely with medical experts to prove how malpractice occurred and fight for the compensation you deserve, including ongoing care and emotional damages.

We understand the complexities of these cases and work with medical professionals to ensure you receive the compensation necessary to cover long-term care and other expenses.
Dog bites can cause severe injuries, including lacerations, nerve damage, and infections. Illinois law holds dog owners responsible for injuries caused by their pets.

We have extensive experience handling even the most complex injury cases and provide personalized, compassionate legal support.
To win your personal injury case, you must prove the responsible party owed you a duty of care, such as drivers following traffic laws or property owners maintaining safe environments. Our Elgin attorneys investigate thoroughly, gathering evidence to establish this legal responsibility.
After establishing a duty of care, we must prove the responsible party's negligence, such as speeding or unsafe property conditions. Our team gathers key evidence like accident reports and witness statements to link the breach to your injuries and build a strong case for compensation.
Lastly, you must prove the breach caused your injuries, whether physical (like broken bones) or emotional (like PTSD). Our Elgin lawyers collaborate with medical professionals to document your injuries and ensure all losses—medical costs, lost wages, pain, and long-term care—are accounted for to secure the compensation you deserve.
Between dealing with insurance companies, arranging medical treatment, and figuring out how to repair or replace damaged property, it’s easy to feel lost.
At Staver, we are here to guide you through every step of your personal injury claim.
A successful personal injury claim starts with a thorough investigation. At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, we meticulously gather evidence like police reports, medical records, witness statements, and photos or videos of the scene. For more complex cases, we may also collaborate with experts to reconstruct the accident and establish liability, ensuring we have a clear picture of how the other party’s negligence contributed to your injuries.
This attention to detail provides a solid foundation for your claim. Whether negotiating with insurance companies or preparing for a trial, we ensure that all the critical evidence is in place to pursue the compensation you deserve.
| Next Step: Repair or ReplaceAfter an injury, whether from a car accident or another incident, you might be left with damaged property, such as your vehicle. We know how important it is to get back on track quickly. Our team will ensure that your property is repaired or replaced as soon as possible. If you need a temporary solution, such as a rental vehicle, we’ll help arrange it while your claim is processed.
| Next Step: Dealing with InsuranceThe insurance claims process often means piles of paperwork and endless phone calls from insurance adjusters. Our Elgin personal injury attorneys take this burden off your shoulders by handling all interactions with the insurance company. We are well-versed in managing these claims and can anticipate potential issues. By handling the paperwork, negotiations, and legal complexities, we significantly increase your chances of securing a fair settlement.
| Next Step: Settlement OfferInsurance companies may deny your claim or offer a low settlement amount. If your claim is denied, they will provide a written explanation, which we will review in detail. We can discuss appealing the denial or pursuing your compensation in court from there. If you receive a settlement offer, we’ll carefully evaluate it to ensure it covers all your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If the offer is insufficient, we’ll make a counter-demand and continue negotiating.
| Next Step: NegotiationsOnce your claim is filed, the insurance company will likely carry out its own investigation. They may send an adjuster to assess the scene or your injuries, often leading to a low-ball offer. It’s important not to accept the first offer without consulting us. Our attorneys are experienced negotiators who will leverage the evidence gathered from the accident or injury to fight for the compensation you truly deserve. We know what’s at stake and won’t back down until you’re fairly compensated.
| Next Step: Settle or TrialMost personal injury cases in Elgin are settled without a trial. However, if the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. While only a small percentage of cases go to trial, having an experienced attorney on your side is crucial. We’ll guide you through the trial process, ensuring your case is presented clearly and persuasively to a judge and jury.
| Next Step: Crash InvestigationYour top priority after any type of injury should always be to seek medical care. Don’t skip out because you think your injury is minor or you’re afraid of the cost. We’ll pursue compensation for all your medical bills.
Elgin is home to several medical facilities, including Advocate Sherman Hospital and AMITA Health St. Joseph Hospital, which provide emergency care and ongoing treatment for injuries. Try the Elgin Veterans Affairs Clinic or Advocate Medical Group for emergencies and ongoing treatment.

By documenting your injuries and their impact on your life—both physically and financially—you’ll help build a strong case for maximum compensation.
