Personal Injury Representation for McHenry County

A serious car crash, truck collision or fall can change your life in an instant, leaving you to cope with medical bills, lost income and a difficult insurance process. The Crannell Law Group, LLC helps injured people and families across northern Illinois hold negligent parties accountable, and we now take cases throughout McHenry County.

From our Naperville office, we represent people injured in Crystal Lake, McHenry, Woodstock, Algonquin, Cary, Huntley, Lake in the Hills and the surrounding communities. Injury cases that arise in the county are generally handled at the McHenry County Courthouse in Woodstock, and we prepare every matter with the local court and Illinois law in mind.

What to Do After an Injury in McHenry County

• See a doctor promptly — injuries documented early are injuries the insurer cannot dismiss
• Report what happened — to the local police or the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office after a crash, or to the property owner after a fall
• Keep photos of the scene, your injuries and anything that contributed to the incident
• Save the names and numbers of any witnesses
• Speak with a lawyer before giving any insurance company a recorded statement

Don’t Wait — Illinois Filing Deadlines Are Strict

Illinois generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (735 ILCS 5/13-202), and some claims — including those against government entities — carry shorter deadlines. Talking to a lawyer early costs nothing and protects your case.

A Track Record of Results Across Illinois

While McHenry County is a new area of focus for our firm, The Crannell Law Group has recovered more than $50 million for injured Illinois clients since 2009. Our results reflect how hard we fight for the people we represent:

• A $1.18 million DuPage County verdict for a car crash victim who suffered a traumatic brain injury
• A $1.25 million settlement for an 18-year-old passenger whose driver fell asleep at the wheel
• A $1.5 million confidential settlement in a wrongful death case near Chicago
• A $1.15 million settlement in a premises-liability slip-and-fall case
• An $806,129 verdict in a rear-end car accident case

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different.
