While riding my mountain bike 2 blocks from my Chicago Lakeview neighborhood home on a sunny, mild early November Saturday, I was hit by an SUV which failed to stop at a stop sign. Severely injured, I knew I would need legal representation to guide me through the coming weeks and months. I called an old friend who had been injured in a car accident a couple of years earlier, and he gave me Liana Bizios's contact information.
I called Liana the next day, she took my call immediately and we set up a meeting at her Chicago Loop office for the following day. During our meeting it was very apparent that Liana was smart, tough, a great listener, and a go-getter who was going to fight for me.
I knew right then and there that I didn't need to look any further for legal representation. In a very straightforward manner, Liana set up the terms and guidelines for our working relationship.
I went through 3 surgeries, which included the rebuilding of my hip and knee and a double cervical fusion in my neck, along with extensive physical therapy. All through this process, Liana worked doggedly to protect my rights in multiple court hearings while the opposing insurance company lawyers attempted to use every trick in the book to either get us to quit or have our case dismissed. Liana got a favorable decision from the judge at every hearing.
Knowing surgeons typically do not enjoy testifying at trials, Liana went above and beyond the call in getting my surgeons to agree to testify on my behalf at trial, if it came to that.
Liana also did a great job negotiating with the hospitals and insurance companies to greatly reduce the bottom line costs of my surgeries.
No matter the day or hour, Liana always took my calls and she was very quick to alert and advise me of every new development in our case. With our trial date only days away, Liana was able to secure a fair and equitable settlement with the opposing insurance company.
Within 1 week I was handed a check for my share of the settlement personally by Liana at her Chicago office, exactly as she always said it would be.
Though we met under difficult circumstances, after witnessing her talent, sincerity, and knowledge of the law, I am very glad to have been represented by Liana Bizios and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of great legal representation.
