Personal Injury FAQs

Wheaton Personal Injury Lawyers

Possibly. A working signal does not automatically clear the railroad, or a crossing contractor, of responsibility, and their early account is not the final word. Maintenance logs, event data, and the conditions at the crossing often tell a fuller story once they are examined, which is exactly why an independent investigation matters.

Immediate Steps After an Injury

A successful TBI claim can recover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term care costs in cases involving permanent disability.

Understanding Personal Injury Law

Negligence is when someone fails to act with reasonable care, and that failure causes harm. If that’s what happened to you, the law gives you the right to seek compensation.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

They look at liability, damages, and risk, and then try to pay you as little as possible. We flip that equation. We show them exactly why your claim is worth more — and why they’d rather settle than face us in court.

Compensation and Damages

Absolutely. If your injury affected your income or will require long-term care, we factor that into your demand. This isn’t just about what’s happened — it’s about what’s ahead.

Our Firm FAQs

Client Rights and Responsibilities

Yes. If you’re not confident in your representation, you have every right to make a change. We’re confident enough in our work that we’re never afraid of that question. Clients stay with us because they see results, not because they’re locked in.

Working with Salvi & Maher

We believe clients deserve to know what’s happening in their case — always. You won’t be left wondering. When there’s a development, you hear it from us. If there’s a question, you’ll get an answer. We give you updates as often as needed, and we’re always available to talk when you need us.

Initial Consultation Process

Call, email, or submit a request online. In person, over the phone, or by video. Whatever’s easiest for you. 

Communication & Case Updates

You’ll hear from us when there’s movement, and even when there isn’t — because silence causes anxiety, and we don’t let clients operate in the dark. If something changes, you’re the first to know.

Fee Structure & Payment Options

In many cases, yes. If your TBI occurred in a workplace accident caused by a third party, you may be able to pursue both claims. Our attorneys evaluate all available avenues of recovery on your behalf.
