An insurance company negotiates injury claims for a living. Most people do it once, maybe twice, in their entire lives. That mismatch is exactly why a personal injury law firm exists. It’s why Costa Ivone offers a practice around leveling that field for injured people across Chicago.

Did an accident leave you injured because of someone else’s carelessness? Handling medical bills, missed paychecks, and an insurance adjuster’s phone calls all at once takes a toll during recovery, and it shouldn’t fall entirely on your shoulders. A personal injury law firm takes that weight off your plate and pushes for compensation that actually reflects what happened to you.
At Costa Ivone, our attorneys represent injured people throughout Chicagoland. Call us at (708) 816-2621 or send us a message about your situation, and we’ll walk you through what comes next.
Julio A. Costa and Anthony L. Ivone founded Costa Ivone, building a practice around direct client relationships instead of high-volume case processing. Julio has personally recovered over $50 million for injured clients in the last five years, and the firm’s combined results now exceed $250 million recovered across Chicagoland.
Handling an injury claim without legal help puts a person at an immediate disadvantage. Insurance adjusters know exactly which tactics settle a claim fast and cheap.
Most injured people don’t have the time, energy, or background to counter them while they’re still recovering. Our attorneys take on that legal strategy directly, so clients can focus on healing instead of fighting with an insurer.
Our attorneys represent clients across a broad range of injury and accident cases, including:
Car Accidents
Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and multi-vehicle wrecks across Chicago and Illinois.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucking cases involving federal regulations and multiple liable parties.
Motorcycle Accidents
Serious injury claims for riders facing biased insurance tactics.
Pedestrian Accidents
Claims involving drivers who fail to yield or watch for foot traffic.
Premises Liability
Injuries tied to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property.
Nursing Home Abuse
Cases involving neglect or mistreatment of elderly residents in care facilities.
Medical Malpractice
Claims against providers who deviate from accepted standards of care.
Workers’ Compensation
Wage replacement and medical coverage for workplace injuries.
Wrongful Death
Representation for families who lost a loved one to negligence.
Dog Bites
Claims against owners whose animals caused injury on their property.
Every case gets the same level of attention no matter its size, since the injuries behind a smaller claim can matter just as much to the person living through them.
Our process starts with a free consultation, where we listen to what happened and begin investigating who bears responsibility. Medical treatment continues throughout, and our attorneys document injuries, expenses, and the broader toll an accident takes on daily life.
From there, our team takes over every conversation with insurance companies, pushing for a settlement that matches the claim’s real value. If an insurer refuses to offer anything fair, our attorneys prepare the case for court and take it there.
Illinois also follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which allows someone to recover compensation even with some shared fault, as long as that fault stays under 50 percent. The final award gets reduced by whatever percentage applies. It pays to have an attorney contest any inflated fault claims the other side tries to pin on you.
Here’s what sets our firm apart:
Consultations are free, and our attorneys work on a contingency basis, so payment comes only from compensation recovered for a client.
Illinois generally allows 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, though some cases have different deadlines depending on the circumstances.
Case value depends on the severity of the injury, medical costs, lost income, and the impact on daily life. A free consultation gives a clearer picture based on the specific facts involved.
Illinois’ modified comparative negligence rule still allows for compensation as long as a person isn’t found more than 50 percent responsible. The recovery amount gets reduced by that percentage.
Seeking medical attention comes first, even for injuries that seem minor at the time. Documenting the scene, gathering witness information, and contacting an attorney early all help protect a claim before evidence disappears.
