A serious injury can change your life in an instant. At BRE Law, we understand that personal injury cases are about helping individuals and families move forward during difficult moments. Our Personal Injury team represents clients throughout Central Illinois in cases involving car accidents, trucking accidents, workplace injuries, wrongful death, dog bites, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, and more. If you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may have rights and compensation available to help support your recovery. The BRE Injury Team is committed to providing experienced guidance every step of the way. Because when life changes unexpectedly, experience matters.
When you’ve been injured, everything can feel overwhelming, medical bills, missed work, insurance calls, and uncertainty about what comes next. Our role is to take that burden off your shoulders and protect your interests while we pursue the full compensation you deserve.
We handle insurance companies directly… no recorded statements, no pressure, and no unfair tactics while your case is pending.
Police reports, witness statements, photos, medical records, and expert review when needed. Your case is built the right way from the start.
No upfront fees. No hourly charges. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
We can help connect you with doctors who understand injury cases and properly document your injuries.
We calculate the true impact of your injuries, not just today’s bills, but future care, lost income, and long-term effects.
Every case is prepared as if it’s going to court, because insurance takes claims more seriously when trial is on the table.

In addition to individual cases, our attorneys have served in leadership roles on national class action litigation resulting in substantial recoveries for affected communities.

There is no upfront cost. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.
The value of a case depends on the extent of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and long-term impact, as well as the insurance coverage available. We work to identify all available insurance and properly evaluate your damages so you don’t settle for less than your case is truly worth.
A personal injury claim typically involves investigating the accident, documenting injuries, submitting a claim to the insurance company, negotiating for fair compensation, and, if necessary, filing a lawsuit. Our role is to handle the process from start to finish while protecting your interests.
Recorded statements are often used to limit or deny claims. You should speak with an attorney before providing any recorded statement.
Broad authorizations may give insurers access to unrelated medical history. It’s best to consult an attorney before signing anything.
It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident, especially if you’re injured, missing work, or dealing with insurance companies, to gather and/or preserve crucial evidence, and to deal with the insurance company at the beginning of a claim when they are trying to mold your case to its advantage.
Insurance companies have legal teams working to protect their interests from the start. Having an attorney on your side helps limit insurance tactics, protect your claim while you recover, and guide you through medical bills, evidence, compensation, and guide you through the process so you’re not pressured into settling for less than you deserve.
Auto insurance does not always pay medical bills right away. Bills are often handled through health insurance initially, while liability and settlement issues are resolved later.
If an insurance company is pressuring you to settle while you are still receiving medical treatment, it’s important to speak with an attorney first. Once you accept a settlement and sign a release, your claim is usually final and cannot be reopened, even if future medical bills, lost income, or other damages ariselater. This is a common tactic that may leave you responsible for costs that should have been coveredby insurance.
If you request a free consultation, we will review your information and a member of our team will reach out to gather a few additional details before scheduling an appointment with an attorney via phone, video, or in person. We’ll do our best to answer your questions, explain your options, and help you decide your best next step. There is no obligation and no cost to speak with us.
Illinois personal injury claims are governed by the Code of Civil Procedure. Under 735 ILCS 5/13-202, injured parties have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars recovery entirely. Illinois follows a modified comparative fault standard — you can recover compensation as long as you are found to be less than 50% at fault for the incident that caused your injuries.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Speak with an attorney and understand your options at no cost to you.
