Standing Up for Injured People in Hinsdale
A serious injury turns ordinary life upside down: medical appointments, missed work, mounting bills, and an insurance company that wants to close your claim quickly and cheaply. Ori Law Group takes that weight off your shoulders so you can focus on getting better.
We're a two-attorney, women-owned personal injury trial firm. The attorneys you meet at your free consultation, Joseph Ori and Kristen Ori, are the attorneys who handle your case from start to finish. You won't be handed off to a case manager, and you'll always know where your case stands.

How We Build a Strong Case for You
- We listen first. At your free consultation, we hear what happened and tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
- We move fast to preserve evidence. The police report, photos, witness statements, nearby business and traffic camera video, and vehicle data, before any of it is lost or overwritten.
- We document your injuries fully. We work with your medical records so your claim reflects the whole picture, including future care and lost income.
- We deal with the insurance companies. Calls go through us. You don't have to give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement.
- We prepare every case for trial. Most cases settle, but insurers make more serious offers when they know the firm on the other side is ready to go to court.

Local Knowledge for Hinsdale Cases
Hinsdale sits on a county line, and that can affect your case. Most of the village, including downtown, is in DuPage County, where injury cases are heard at the DuPage County Judicial Center in Wheaton. The area east of County Line Road is in Cook County, where cases go to the Bridgeview courthouse or the Daley Center in Chicago. We file in both counties, so your case goes where it belongs.
We also know where the records are. Crashes on village streets are handled by the Hinsdale Police Department, while crashes on the Tri-State Tollway are investigated by Illinois State Police. Many injured people are treated at UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Hinsdale, and we know how to get those records quickly.
What Your Claim Can Include
- Medical expenses, from the emergency room to future treatment.
- Lost income, including reduced ability to earn if the injury affects your work long term.
- Pain and suffering and emotional distress.
- Loss of a normal life, when an injury limits your daily activities and independence.
- Property damage, such as vehicle repair or replacement.
What a claim is worth depends on your injuries, the evidence and the insurance available. We'll talk it through with you once we know the facts.
Free Consultation. No Fee Unless We Recover.
You pay nothing up front. We handle injury cases on a contingency basis, so our fee comes only from what we recover for you.
Don't wait too long to call. Illinois generally allows two years to file an injury lawsuit, and just one year for claims against a local public body like the Village of Hinsdale. Evidence such as video footage can disappear within days.

Hinsdale Injury Questions
How much does a Hinsdale personal injury attorney cost?
Nothing up front. The first consultation is free, and Ori Law Group handles injury cases on a contingency basis, so there's no fee unless we recover for you.
How long do I have to file an injury claim?
Illinois generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, and only one year for claims against a local public body such as the Village of Hinsdale, a park district or a school district. There are exceptions, so talk with a lawyer early.
Do I have to come to your office?
No. We meet clients by phone, by video, at our Oak Brook office, or at your home or the hospital, whichever works for you.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?
Every Illinois auto policy includes uninsured motorist coverage, so you may be able to recover through your own policy. The same coverage can apply after a hit-and-run.
How long will my case take?
It depends mostly on how long your medical treatment takes and whether the insurance company disputes fault. We'll give you a realistic picture at your free consultation.
