Following the Illinois insurance regulation, an at-fault driver’s insurer is mandated to reimburse you for your car rental expenses proportionate to their liability. However, the insurer may only offer reimbursement covering the typical period it’ll take to repair your vehicle or until they offer you a settlement.

The said regulation does not specify the type of vehicle required, so if your vehicle was a specialty car, the insurer isn’t required to rent a similar model. Normally, rental reimbursement will have a daily rental limit and if you choose a more expensive vehicle, you’ll have to pay the difference out of pocket.

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. And, as we help you get the money you deserve, we go above and beyond in a way most law firms never could and never would. Because we’re not just lawyers. And you’re not just a client. We’re friends, neighbors, family. We’re all people and here at Mike Agruss Law, we put people first.
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.
