Help From A Trusted Personal Injury Team

If you were injured in a car crash, slip-and-fall or other serious accident, you will have questions. At Cassian & Carter LLC, we take the time to provide answers and explain your options under Illinois law. We simplify the complex legal process in a way that makes sense. We will provide an honest assessment of your situation so that you will know what to expect from the outset and won’t be surprised later on.

We know both sides of the personal injury process. Our founding attorney, William Cassian, spent 11 years working for a national law firm based in Illinois. During that time, he represented one of the largest retailers in the world; numerous hospitals, physicians and nurses; and the insured of several well-known insurance companies in the defense of a variety of claims. That means he understands how the other side thinks, and he will use that knowledge to fight for you.

A Strong Case Begins With Thorough Preparation

From start to finish, we do everything we can to ensure our clients have the dependable information, compassionate support and dedicated advocacy they need as they pursue justice. When you come to Mr. Cassian with your case, his preparations begin with educating you on your rights and options and explaining what the process will entail. By keeping you fully informed, he aims to help ensure you aren’t taken advantage of and that you can confidently make decisions consistent with your goals. He will then carefully investigate all aspects of your case, with the aim of maximizing the strength of your negotiating positions. From this solid foundation, he will tirelessly fight for the compensation you deserve, while also working to reduce the stress of the process for you.

More Than 30 Years Of Personal Injury Law Experience

When a car crash or commercial truck accident occurs, victims should seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Sometimes, symptoms may not show up immediately. It is important to document everything, from medical visits to vehicle damage, and gather witness statements when possible. In Illinois, injury victims can claim both economic damages, like medical expenses and lost wages, and noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering. If your loved one died following an accident injury, then you may also have a right to file a wrongful death claim.

Because Illinois follows a comparative negligence rule – meaning that an injured person’s compensation is subject to their percentage of fault in the accident – hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer for help is best. Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer who has represented both insurance companies and hospitals is even better.

At Cassian & Carter LLC, attorney Cassian brings personal experience and legal knowledge working with insurance companies and hospitals. We understand the tactics that these entities use to minimize payouts and can effectively counteract them. We bring deep insight into how insurance companies evaluate claims and what evidence is persuasive. Additionally, there are distinct considerations for truck accidents, including federal regulations governing trucking companies and drivers, which can complicate the litigation process. We can help you build a stronger, more comprehensive case, increasing the likelihood of a favorable settlement or verdict.

Client Testimonials

“Dear Mr. Cassian,

I am so grateful for your help. It is almost impossible to explain how your kind, positive, straight-forward demeanor reassured me. You didn’t make me feel like I was wasting your time – you answered my questions and explained the process and the law so that I felt like a participant and not swept along without support.
You were not condescending, but positive and refreshing to speak with. Your ‘people’ skills are a great asset to your knowledge and experience with the law.

Thank you.”
