Geneva is located on the western side of the Chicago suburbs in Kane County, Illinois. As the Chicago suburbs spread to the west in the last 30 years, Geneva’s population grew. During the latest count, the city’s population numbered 21,809. Geneva’s quaint, small-town charm has made it a popular tourist destination. Its location along the Fox River provides scenic views and extensive biking and hiking trails. The city’s shops and restaurants draw thousands of visitors each year. Although this small town seems friendly and safe, unfortunately, accidents and injuries can happen. Residents experience motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, construction accidents, animal bites, and faulty product injuries.

With national resources and local connections, our personal injury attorneys can get you the maximum compensation for your personal injury claim.
Our Personal Injury Lawyers Also Have the Inside Track into The Insurance Industry. We do not, and never will, represent insurance companies, thus always ensuring that we never have a conflict of interest in representing our injury clients. But we employ former insurance adjusters and insurance defense lawyers who know the tricks of the trade. We put that knowledge to work for you!
If you have suffered serious injuries, you need a personal injury law firm that focuses on injury law, rather than a lawyer who occasionally “dabbles”. The practice of law is a lot like the practice of medicine. There are practitioners who have “general” practices and others who specialize.
At VanDerGinst Law we focus on injury law.
We are not saying that general practice lawyers cannot handle an occasional injury claim. But, if you needed brain surgery you would see a brain surgeon, not the family doctor, nor a gynecologist. By the same token, you can feel completely confident that you will be in good hands with the personal injury lawyers of VanDerGinst Law.
We can expertly handle ANY injury case that comes our way.
At VanDerGinst Law we handle personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis. That means that if we fail in getting you money for your injuries, there is NO ATTORNEY FEE. You will NEVER be out of pocket a penny. We do not get paid unless and until you do. Our fee is a percentage of the amount recovered. The percentage depends on the type of case we handle and whether the case must be litigated. But it is never more than 40% of the recovery and is usually between 20% and one third.
Additionally, even though other personal injury lawyers say they charge a contingent fee, they may also require a retainer fee for costs (for filing fees, expert fees, court reporter fees, postage, records, etc.) That can often be hundreds, even thousands of dollars. At VanDerGinst Law we charge NO RETAINER FEE on injury cases. We forward all costs necessary to pursue your claim.
We know how devastating serious injuries can be. You may be suffering pain and incurring medical bills. You may not be able to work due to your injuries. The personal injury claims process can be agonizing, confusing and frustrating. The last thing you need is to hassle with medical providers, insurance carriers and adjusters.
Let VanDerGinst Law handle the stress and mess so you can concentrate on getting better!
We make opening a personal injury case as quick and convenient as possible. You can visit one of our convenient office locations, or if you prefer, we can come to you.
We can also open most files right on the phone or online! Video conferencing is also available!
We are available 24/7 every day of the year! Simply click here or call 800-797-5391
We do whatever is reasonably necessary to open your file as quickly and easily as possible. Once we open your file, we take immediate action to investigate and position your case to get the maximum compensation you deserve.
Many law firms require injury clients to track down medical and other documents. At VanDerGinst Law our Personal Injury Lawyers and professional staff do all the work necessary to document your injuries. We obtain all the records from medical providers. We coordinate health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, medical payment insurance, and any other benefits which may apply to your case. We negotiate with the insurance adjuster and other representatives of the opposing party. We do our best to position your case for the best settlement possible. If the opponent doesn’t offer a reasonable settlement, our highly experienced personal injury attorneys are prepared to do battle in court, where we will fight hard to get you the best result.
