Important: This website is attorney advertising. Visiting this site, reading its content, or sending us a message does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential information until a written engagement agreement is in place.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using schwanerinjury.com (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. We may revise these Terms at any time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the current version.

2. Attorney Advertising

The content of this Site is attorney advertising under the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct. The information provided is for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Past results referenced anywhere on this Site are illustrative only and do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any future matter.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship

An attorney-client relationship is formed only when Schwaner Injury Law and a prospective client sign a written representation agreement. Until that occurs:

Sending us a message, email, form, or chat does not create privilege
Information you submit is not protected by attorney-client confidentiality
The firm has no duty to act on, preserve, or respond to information you send

For your own protection, do not transmit detailed confidential or time-sensitive information through this Site until we have confirmed engagement in writing.

4. Not Legal Advice

Information on this Site — including practice-area pages, blog posts, FAQs, and statute references — is general legal information and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney about your specific situation. Laws change. Facts vary. If you need legal advice, consult with an attorney directly.

5. Statute of Limitations Warning

Personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and other claims discussed on this Site are subject to strict deadlines. Missing a statute of limitations can permanently bar your claim. Nothing on this Site tolls or extends any deadline. If you believe you may have a claim, contact us — or another qualified attorney — promptly.
