In the State of Illinois, your auto insurance carrier may pay for your vehicle’s taxes, titles, and transfer fees. This is only possible, however, provided that you’re able to produce proofs within 30 days of the cash settlement that you’ve bought or leased a new vehicle. Your insurer may reimburse you for the fees under the following circumstances:

  • If you’ve purchased a vehicle less than the settlement amount, your insurer must reimburse you for the actual cost
  • If you’ve purchased a vehicle costing more than the settlement, your insurer may only pay for your taxes, title, and transfer fees based on the cash settlement
  • If you’ve purchased a vehicle after rejecting a replacement vehicle offered by your insurer, your insurer may only reimburse you for the applicable replacement flat tax
We see you as a person, not just a client – and that makes us better at what we do. We listen. We learn your story.

A lot of personal injury lawyers raise their contingency fee throughout the process, charging 1/3 if the case is settled pre-suit, charging 40% if the case is filed after a lawsuit is filed, and charging 50% if the case goes to trial. We don’t. At Mike Agruss Law, our personal injury contingency fee is always 1/3 and that’s not changing. We will handle your property damage claim FOR FREE.  We will never change our contingency fee throughout the process.  You will not owe us a penny unless you get money. Our unique formula has earned us over 1,000 outstanding client reviews on our website, an A+ BBB rating, and over 145 five-star reviews on Google.
