A Jewish Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Springfield, IL
Adam Jacobson is a Jewish attorney who represents injured people throughout Springfield and Sangamon County. Clients who come to the firm looking for a Jewish lawyer are not looking for different law; they are looking for someone who understands where they come from, listens with respect, and treats their family the way they would want to be treated. The representation itself is the same full-strength personal injury advocacy the firm is known for, delivered with an added measure of trust and shared understanding.

Why Choose Jacobson Injury Firm?
Preparation Insurers Respect
Adam Jacobson approaches every claim with a litigation-driven mindset and readies each matter as though it will reach a courtroom, which is often what moves an adjuster off a lowball offer. He earned his law degree from Florida International University College of Law and is admitted to practice in Illinois, Florida, New York, and Connecticut. His Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology with a minor in Immunology proves especially valuable when medical records and injury causation become central to a case.
Direct Attorney Access and Real Recoveries
Unlike high-volume firms that pass clients between paralegals, Adam personally handles every case from the first phone call to final resolution. He has recovered millions of dollars for injured clients and knows the Sangamon County roads where these accidents happen and the Seventh Judicial Circuit courts where these cases are decided.
No Fee Unless We Win
Every case is handled on a contingency fee basis, so there is no retainer and no hourly billing. A fee is owed only if we recover for you, which lets injured people pursue full accountability without financial risk at the outset.
Understanding Your Rights Under Illinois Law
No matter who your attorney is, Illinois law sets the framework for an injury claim. Illinois is an at-fault state, so the person who caused the harm and their insurer are responsible for the damages. Recoverable damages can include medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage. Under Illinois’s modified comparative negligence rule, 735 ILCS 5/2-1116, you can recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, with your recovery reduced by your share of the blame.
Important Aspects of a Personal Injury Case
A few factors tend to decide how a claim unfolds. Prompt medical care both protects your health and ties your injuries to the accident. Evidence such as photos, vehicle damage, and camera footage fades quickly, so acting fast matters. Insurance adjusters can sound friendly while working to shrink your payout, which is why the firm handles those communications on your behalf. The statute of limitations, 735 ILCS 5/13-202, generally gives most injury claims two years from the date of injury, so it is wise to speak with an attorney while the evidence is still fresh.
The Personal Injury Case Timeline
Every claim runs on its own schedule, but most follow the same path. We investigate the accident, gather records and reports, and identify every liable party. We follow your medical treatment so the claim reflects the full scope of your injuries. We then submit a demand to the insurer and negotiate toward a fair settlement. If the insurer refuses a reasonable amount, we file suit and move into discovery, and the case resolves through settlement or, when necessary, a jury trial.
Important Illinois Legal Resources
Illinois’s modified comparative negligence rule, 735 ILCS 5/2-1116, controls how shared blame affects recovery, the statute of limitations, 735 ILCS 5/13-202, gives most injury claims two years, and the Illinois Wrongful Death Act, 740 ILCS 180, governs claims when negligence takes a life. These resources point toward the rules themselves rather than replacing legal advice.
