Nothing. Not the case review, not the callback, not the connection to an attorney, not the help getting to a medical appointment. Injury Support Illinois does not bill injured people, does not charge a consultation fee, and does not take a percentage of anyone's recovery.

The attorneys we connect people with work on contingency, which means their fee comes out of a recovery at the end of the case rather than from your pocket at the start. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee. Those terms are set out in the written agreement you would sign with that attorney — read it, ask questions about it, and do not sign anything you do not understand.

So who pays for all this? Attorneys in our network pay us a fee to receive connections. That is our entire business model and we would rather you hear it from us on the first page than wonder about it later.

Straight version: it goes to our intake team, and then — only if you say yes — to a licensed Illinois attorney in our network who handles your type of case. Those attorneys pay us a fee to receive connections. That is how this stays free for you, and we would rather state it plainly than bury it.

What we do not do: we do not sell your information to data brokers, list brokers, or advertisers, and we do not hand it to a dozen firms so they can race each other to your phone.

We also keep a record of the exact consent language you agreed to, when you agreed to it, and from which page — so that if you ever ask what you signed up for, there is a real answer rather than a shrug.

You can tell us to stop at any time. Reply STOP to a text, or call (000) 000-0000 and say so. You can also ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

One caveat worth understanding: once your information reaches an attorney, that attorney has their own privacy and professional obligations, and their own retention rules. We do not control their records.

It means the attorney's fee is contingent on getting you a recovery. No recovery, no attorney fee. It does not mean everything about a case is free forever, and the difference is worth knowing before you sign anything.

How it typically works: the attorney takes an agreed percentage of the amount recovered. If nothing is recovered, they take nothing.

Case costs are a separate line item, and this is the part people miss. Filing fees, medical record charges, deposition transcripts, expert witnesses, and investigators are costs, not fees. Contingency agreements differ on what happens to those if the case does not succeed — some firms absorb them, others may seek reimbursement. Ask that question directly, get the answer in writing, and read the agreement before you sign it.

One more question worth putting to any attorney you speak with: what comes out of a recovery before I see it? Depending on the situation, others may have a right to be repaid from it, and that affects the number that actually reaches you. We are not the right party to answer that — ask the attorney to walk you through the arithmetic before you sign anything.

And to be clear about our side of it: Injury Support Illinois never charges you anything, win or lose. We are paid by the attorneys in our network, not by injured people.

Attorneys pay us. You never do.

Specifically: attorneys who participate in our network pay us a fee to receive connections from people who have asked to be connected with an attorney. That is the only source of our revenue. We do not charge injured people, we do not take a share of any settlement or verdict, and we do not sell your information to data brokers or advertisers.

We say this on the home page, in the footer of every page, beside every submit button, and here — partly because Illinois rules require that a service like ours not create the impression that connections are made without payment from the attorney, and partly because you are about to tell a stranger about the worst week of your year and you deserve to know who is funding the conversation.

What that fee does not buy. It does not buy influence over your case. It does not give us any interest in your recovery. It does not let an attorney be described here as the "best" or the "right" one for you — we do not rank, rate, recommend, or endorse any attorney, and we do not analyse your legal problem in deciding who receives your information. Illinois Rule of Professional Conduct 7.2(c) prohibits a service like ours from creating that impression, and we would not want to anyway: choosing who represents you is your decision, not ours.

If any of that changes, this page changes with it.
