Personal injury law in Illinois gives injured individuals the legal right to seek compensation when harmed due to the negligence or wrongful acts of others.

If you’ve been injured in an accident in the Illinois Quad Cities—whether in Moline, Rock Island, or surrounding communities—you have legal options.
