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.”
