Shuman Legal Marks 35+ Years Representing Injured Victims Across Illinois

Chicago, IL - January 30, 2026 - Shuman Legal, a Chicago-based personal injury law firm, is marking 35+ years of legal advocacy on behalf of injured victims across Illinois. Since its inception, the firm has represented more than 25,000 injury victims and recovered millions of dollars in compensation, reflecting a history defined by client advocacy and practical legal support for individuals recovering from the aftermath of a serious injury.

Over the past three decades, Shuman Legal has worked on cases involving contested liability, high medical costs, and long-term disability, helping clients obtain compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages. In a recent case, a Chicago pedestrian was hit when a delivery truck ran a red light, resulting in an extended recovery and more than $87,000 in medical bills. The insurer initially offered $12,000 to resolve the claim. With legal representation, the case ultimately resolved for $340,000.

Situations like this aren't uncommon across the state. According to the 2024 Illinois Crash Facts from IDOT, the state recorded 303,913 motor vehicle crashes, highlighting how frequently individuals are placed in situations that can result in serious injury and financial strain. For many victims, navigating insurance claims and liability disputes adds another layer of stress to an already challenging situation.

In this context, the role of experienced legal representation becomes an important consideration. National consumer data supports this. According to Martindale-Nolo, more than nine out of ten individuals with legal representation received a settlement or award, compared to about half of those who handled injury claims on their own. Represented individuals also recovered substantially higher compensation on average.

From its earliest cases through today, Shuman Legal has built its practice around a client-centered philosophy. The firm emphasizes accessibility and hands-on support at every stage of the claims process. The firm also handles injury cases under a contingency-based fee arrangement, meaning clients are not required to pay attorney fees unless a recovery is obtained.

Beyond its casework, the firm maintains a strong focus on public education. Shuman Legal's website offers free resources, including settlement calculators and legal guides, to help individuals better understand how injury claims work or what to expect from the process.
