Harvey L. Walner & Associates, LTD
Call : 312-782-4220
Personal Injury Attorney
Chicago, Illinois
Harvey L. Walner & Associates Ltd. is a personal injury law firm representing clients in the Chicago, Illinois area.
Our attorneys have over 75 years of aggregated litigation experience and we put 100% of our experience, our legal knowledge, and our dedication to getting justice for our clients. But our personal service and representation doesn't end with a check.
Big law firms advertise big cases and big verdicts because these cases mean big money--for them. The benefit for you is more dubious. A settlement that looks big on paper may not be so big after everyone--including the law firm--takes their piece of the pie.
But we don't work for the money, we work for you. What matters to us is not the big settlement number we win, but how to maximize the amount you can take home and keep. Even after we get a settlement or judgment, we keep working for you, to help you get the maximum value out of your lawsuit. We can negotiate with doctors, insurance companies, even Medicare/Medicaid to help you keep more of the settlement or judgment. Then we can help you protect that money so it will be there when you need it.

More than Just a Check
Your personal injury lawsuit is not just about money, it's about making sure that you and your family are taken care of after your accident. It's about paying rent, paying bills, and ensuring your children's future. That's why at Harvey L. Walner & Associates, our representation doesn't end when you get your settlement or judgment check.
If you need help in getting the best medical care we are here. If you do not have insurance or the financial resources to see the best physicians, we will work for you to find the best healthcare professionals that will tend to your injuries and wait to be paid when we win your case.
We work hard to maximize your benefit from your case, which means understanding from experience how best to utilize the settlement or judgment. We can help you find an investment advisor to get the most out of your money. We can also help set up annuities to structure a settlement for minors so they can get long-term benefit from the money. If necessary, we can also help find a guardian for minors or disabled injury victims.
Our goal is that you should still be seeing the benefit of your case twenty years from now or more.
Settlement or Lawsuit?
In many cases, you may be offered a settlement today that is far below what you wanted and have to make the best decision about whether to accept this offer or pursue your lawsuit, which, on average, will require 2 ½ years to complete. This is your decision, but we can help you get all the information to make the right one.
First, we have former insurance adjusters on staff to help negotiate the best settlement up-front. Then we can negotiate with all the parties who want money from your settlement, including:
- Unpaid doctors
- Health insurance
- Medicare/Medicaid
If you take a lower settlement today, it is often possible for us to get many of your bills cut drastically, increasing the value of your settlement over your eventual litigation victory, which would require you to pay many bills in full.
When you have a case pending you may hear about loan services on TV or through some form of media. If you are solicited for a loan against your case, we will investigate the benefits and draw backs of your offer. For a fee, we can get you the best possible deal so that your life will not suffer because you are out of work and cannot keep up with your living expenses.
