FREQUENTLY ASKED PERSONAL INJURY LAW QUESTIONS

1. Do I need a personal injury lawyer after a car accident in the Quad Cities?

If you were injured and the accident was not your fault (and even if it was partially your fault), speaking with a personal injury lawyer is strongly recommended. Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts, even in clear cases. A lawyer protects your rights, handles the insurance company, and often recovers significantly more compensation than individuals obtain on their own.

2. What if the insurance company already called me after my accident?

You are not required to give a recorded statement, and doing so can harm your claim. Insurance adjusters may sound helpful, but their job is to limit what they pay. It’s best to speak with a lawyer first so your rights and your case value are protected from the start. DO NOT give a recorded statement and DO NOT sign anything.

3. How much is my Quad Cities car accident or injury case worth?

Every case is different. The value depends on factors such as medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and whether the injury has long-term effects. We can discuss these factors and give you an honest assessment of the types of compensation you may be entitled to recover. A WORD OF WARNING- Any attorney who tells you an exact value on your case after a brief consultation is either incompetent, dishonest or delusional. A full investigation of liability, damages and insurance coverages is necessary to give a true evaluation.

4. How long do I have to file a Quad Cities personal injury claim?

Illinois law sets strict deadlines for filing injury claims, known as statutes of limitation. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to compensation entirely. The deadlines can vary depending on a number of factors. Speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible helps ensure important deadlines are not missed.

5. What does it cost to hire a Quad City personal injury lawyer?

VanDerGinst Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Your consultation is free, and there are no hourly fees. Additionally, we advance all costs which may be necessary to pursue your case. So, you are never out of pocket a dime!

6. Can you help me if I don’t live in the Quad Cities but my accident happened there?

Yes. We regularly help clients from across the country. We can meet in person or handle your case remotely, whichever is more convenient for you.

7. What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Seek medical attention first, even if injuries seem minor. If possible, document the scene, exchange information, and avoid discussing fault with the other driver or the insurance company. Contacting a personal injury lawyer early can help protect your claim and prevent costly mistakes.

Quad Cities Car Accident Lawyers Who Know How Insurance Companies Operate

Car accidents are among the most common—and most aggressively defended—injury cases in Illinois, Iowa, and throughout the country. After a crash in the Quad Cities, insurance companies often move quickly, sometimes before you fully understand the extent of your injuries. Their goal is simple: pressure injured victims into accepting lowball settlements before they speak with an experienced lawyer.

Our Quad Cities-based car accident lawyers represent clients throughout the area in cases involving:

Rear-end and intersection collisions
Highway and high-speed crashes
Distracted and drunk driving accidents
Serious injury and long-term disability cases

How VanDerGinst Law Protects You

We step in early to level the playing field by:

Handling all communication with the insurance company
Protecting you from recorded statements and unfair settlement offers
Documenting medical treatment and future care needs
Fighting for full compensation, not quick payouts

If your car accident wasn’t your fault, you shouldn’t be the one paying for it.
