With over 35 years of experience handling personal injury claims in Schaumburg, IL, and surrounding areas, Barber Law Offices LLC has recovered millions of dollars in compensation on behalf of our injured clients.

Whether you were injured in a car accident, truck accident, from a slip and fall, or were hurt on someone else’s property, call Barber Law Offices LLC. Since 1984 we have been assisting our clients recover the damages and compensation they deserve.

Don’t Try to Settle the Claim on Your Own

A Personal Injury lawyer adheres to a strict standard of legal ethics and is there to assist you with every legal aspect of your injury claim. Any injury is regarded as serious and should be treated by you as such. Do not attempt to settle the claim yourself as there may be issues that, if not handled properly by an experienced attorney, result in you receiving significantly less compensation than would have otherwise been awarded or even losing the claim altogether. A consultation with a Personal Injury attorney will ensure that your claim is legitimate and that you receive the compensation due to you.

We Don’t Get Paid Unless You Get Paid

Barber Law Offices LLC allows for a contingency agreement for its slip-and-fall clients. However not all lawyers do this, contact a slip-and-fall lawyer who will be able to answer this and many other related legal issues surrounding your injury and possible compensation. Aside from special injury compensation, the injured party may get compensated for the possible lifelong effects of the injuries sustained. Give them a call today and put your mind at rest.

Every Case is Different

Every injury is unique and no two personal injury cases are the same. Barber Law Offices LLC takes the time to get to know you—your story, what’s important to you, and your goals. We listen carefully to and work closely with our clients to develop a legal strategy that is personalized to your specific case so you can achieve the best possible results.

A “Contingency Fee” is a prior arrangement between you and your lawyer in which a percentage of your claim for damages is their fee, rather than an upfront payment by the injured party.

The Four Elements of a Personal Injury Claim

#1: The Presence of a Duty

Every personal injury case starts with a duty from the defendant to the claimant. In a car accident, the duty may simply be driving safely. For example, a driver has a duty to stop at a stop sign. In more complex situations, a company or person may have the duty to prevent injuries with their product or on their property.

#2: Failure to Exercise Reasonable Care

A personal injury claim must show that reasonable care was not exercised. This can include carelessness or reckless behavior, whether intentional or not.

#3: The Claimant Suffered an Injury

The injury (also known as “damages”) may be physical, mental or financial. There must be evidence of this injury in order for a personal injury lawsuit to move forward.

#4: Causation

The claimant must show the injury was from the failure to exercise reasonable care, and that actual damages resulted, such as:

  • Loss of Income
  • Medical Bills
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Disability

Mr. Barber and Michelle were an amazing legal team that kept me informed every step of the way. When the insurance company cut my benefits off and I had no way of paying my personal bills, they fought for me and my family and the insurance company was forced to turn my benefits and weekly payments back on until I was fully recovered from my injuries. If myself or anyone I know has the misfortune of being injured at work or in a car accident, I will definitely be using this firm again. They didn’t leave anything on the table!!read more

My family owes Mr Barber a great deal of debt, he fought very hard for us. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to him for a consultation, and he walked me through the whole process in layman's terms so I could understand. Not only did pretty much everything turn out as he said, he always remembered to consult with me and explain it to me on the way. He's a lawyer for the working people period we need more of him.read more
