Meet Attorney Grady E. Holley

With over five decades of legal experience, Grady Holley has spent his entire career doing one thing exceptionally well: winning justice for injured people. Admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and courts across Illinois, Grady brings the kind of courtroom authority and trial experience that insurance companies respect and fear.

As a Fellow of the Illinois Bar Foundation and a recognized leader in personal injury and medical malpractice litigation, Grady has secured countless victories in civil jury trials and complex injury cases.

His commitment extends beyond the courtroom, serving as Chairman of the Springfield Housing Authority and on the Springfield Election Commission, because he believes justice isn’t just about individual cases, it’s about building a fairer community.

When you need a trial lawyer with the credentials, experience, and tenacity to take on any opponent, Grady Holley stands ready to fight for you.

Meet Attorney Steven J. Rosen

Steve Rosen has dedicated his career to one mission: making sure injured people get every dollar they deserve. Since joining forces with Grady Holley to form Holley and Rosen, Steve has built a reputation for relentless advocacy in personal injury, workers’ compensation, and medical malpractice cases.

Recognized for academic excellence in law school with the American Jurisprudence Award, Steve brings both legal precision and fierce determination to every case. He successfully represented clients facing life-altering injuries and wrongful death, taking on insurance companies and corporate defendants who thought they could outlast or outspend his clients.

Whether you’re recovering from a personal injury, fighting for workers’ compensation benefits, or seeking justice after medical negligence, Steve understands that your case represents your future and he fights like it. With him, you get more than an attorney; you get an advocate who won’t stop until justice is served.

What Should I Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Springfield?

Victims of a pedestrian accident in Springfield should immediately seek safety, moving out of the way of any additional danger. Then, call 911 to request immediate medical support. Most victims face serious injuries at this time, with very little ability to do anything else. Prioritize your well-being.

In situations where there is an opportunity, take photos of the accident area as well as the damage to the involved vehicles. Get the names of any witnesses who saw what happened or stopped to help you. These steps will protect you from false claims later. Most importantly, get immediate medical care and follow your doctor’s recommendations.

Who Is at Fault for Pedestrian Accidents?

In every situation, drivers must take every step possible to minimize striking a pedestrian. If a pedestrian runs out into the street without warning and a driver does not have a reasonable ability to stop or avoid them, the driver may not be held accountable.

However, in most other situations, pedestrians can file a claim against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance for their losses. If you are struck by a commercial truck or vehicle, the company may have some responsibility in your case as well. Our Springfield pedestrian accident attorney will work to outline all parties who should pay for your losses.

How Long Do I Have to File a Pedestrian Accident Claim in Illinois?

Victims of a personal injury claim have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit for their losses. This provides you with time to negotiate compensation with the insurance company as a first step. If they fail to treat you fairly, you have just two years to file a lawsuit to allow a judge to make that decision.

There are some exceptions to this rule. If you were a minor at the time of the accident, the two-year rule does not apply until you turn 18 unless your parents sought compensation on your behalf.
