Personal Injury Claims
Most injury cases start here. Whether you were hurt in a car accident, injured on someone else's property, or harmed by a defective product, our personal injury attorneys hold responsible parties accountable. We handle the following matters:
Each type of injury case involves different legal requirements, evidence, and strategies. Our attorneys understand the challenges these cases present and have experience pursuing claims throughout Illinois courts.
Medical Malpractice
Medical negligence cases require a firm that’s experienced in taking on healthcare institutions. Our medical malpractice attorneys have strong reputations in Illinois in this area, including hospital negligence, emergency room errors, birth injuries, and pharmacy negligence. We also take on ER malpractice claims and birth injury cases where other firms decline due to complexity.
Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence
Families entrust care facilities with their loved ones' safety. When that trust is broken through abuse, neglect, or institutional failure, the consequences are severe and lasting. Our nursing home abuse attorneys and nursing home negligence attorneys represent Illinois families in holding care facilities accountable.
Workers Compensation
Illinois workers have defined legal rights when job-related injuries occur, regardless of employer disputes. Our workers' compensation attorneys help injured workers in Bloomington pursue the benefits Illinois law provides, from medical coverage to lost-wage recovery.
Childhood and Institutional Sexual Abuse
These cases demand sensitivity, discretion, and experience with Illinois legal frameworks for childhood and institutional abuse. We handle cases involving clergy, schools, youth organizations, and other institutions statewide. Our attorneys work with survivors through child sexual abuse and assault claims, clergy abuse cases, and institutional sexual abuse matters.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
Not every driver carries adequate insurance, and accident victims shouldn't absorb financial consequences. If you were hurt by an uninsured or underinsured driver, our uninsured motorist attorneys pursue the coverage you're entitled to under your own policy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Bloomington
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Illinois?
Illinois law sets a deadline for filing personal injury claims, and missing it typically means losing the right to compensation entirely. The general timeframe is two years from the date of injury for most personal injury cases, though circumstances involving government entities or minors can affect that window. Speaking with an attorney early preserves your options.
What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
The personal injury attorneys at Nessler & Associates work on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay any upfront costs to hire the firm. The fee is collected only if we recover compensation for you, and it is based on a percentage of the settlement or award. This allows injury victims to acquire experienced legal representation without worrying about paying hourly attorney fees.
Can I still file a workers' compensation claim if my employer says I was at fault?
Yes, in most situations. Illinois workers' compensation operates under a no-fault framework, so an injured worker's right to benefits typically doesn't hinge on the cause of the accident. Your employer's characterization of events doesn't automatically end your claim. Speak with an attorney before accepting anything.

We serve clients throughout Bloomington-Normal and surrounding central Illinois communities. Our Illinois practice isn't limited to a single county, and Bloomington-area clients have access to the same full representation we provide statewide. Our locations page covers the communities we serve.
