Injured Due to Someone Else’s Negligence? We’re Here to Help.
An unexpected injury can change your life in an instant—physically, emotionally, and financially. Medical bills pile up, work becomes impossible, and the future feels uncertain. You deserve answers. You deserve support. And most importantly, you deserve compensation.
At William Hellyer Ltd Attorneys At Law, we help injured individuals and families in Crystal Lake, Algonquin, and across McHenry County hold negligent parties accountable. With over 40 years of legal experience, we provide straightforward, compassionate representation focused on one thing: getting you the results you need to recover and move forward.
What Counts as a Personal Injury Case?
Personal injury law covers any situation where someone else’s carelessness or recklessness causes you harm. These aren’t just “accidents”—they’re events that could have been prevented.
We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
Car accidents (including rideshare collisions and pedestrian injuries)
Slip and fall incidents on unsafe property
Workplace accidents not covered adequately by workers’ comp
Dog bites and animal attacks
Wrongful death and fatal accident claims
Product liability and defective equipment injuries
If you were hurt because someone failed to act responsibly, we can help you understand your rights and pursue financial recovery.
What Damages Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Case?
After an injury, the financial burden can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re unable to work. In Illinois, personal injury victims may be entitled to compensation for:
We’ll walk with you through every stage:
Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress or trauma
Loss of enjoyment of life
Property damage
Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members
Each case is unique. We take the time to fully understand how your injury has affected your life—and build a case that reflects the true cost of what you’ve endured.

Handle all communications with insurance adjusters
Investigate the accident thoroughly
Collect medical records and evidence
Calculate the full value of your claim
