Legal Help When You Need it the Most
A personal injury can turn your life upside down, leaving you with stacks of medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, and other hardships. If you need legal help after a car accident, medical malpractice incident or other injuries, our law firm is here for you. We are Shay & Associates Law Firm, LLC in Decatur, serving clients throughout Illinois. Since 1992, we have been serving the needs of people facing tremendous suffering due to the negligence of others.
A History of Legal Experience
At many personal injury firms, clients are often encouraged to accept insurance company settlement offers to avoid the challenges of a trial—even when pursuing litigation could result in a better outcome. At Shay & Associates Law Firm, LLC, we take a different approach. We are not just attorneys; we are trial attorneys, committed to fighting for the justice our clients deserve.
​
Our lead attorney, Timothy Shay, brings unparalleled experience to the courtroom. He has successfully tried more than 50 jury trials to verdict, arbitrated over 200 workers’ compensation claims before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, and argued appeals before both the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission and the Illinois Appellate Courts. Additionally, Tim has litigated personal injury cases in all three Districts of the Illinois Federal Court system.
​
At Shay & Associates, we are dedicated to helping individuals who have been harmed by negligent drivers, medical errors, defective products, and other acts of carelessness or wrongdoing. Our proven track record of success reflects our commitment to securing the compensation our clients need and deserve.

We Tell it Like it is
If anyone benefits from inflated expectations in a personal injury case, it is not the client. We tell it like it is so that you know where you stand and what you can expect in terms of likely outcomes. If your case has merit and we believe we can help you secure a substantial reward or settlement, we will let you know. If we don’t think the legal issues line up in your favor, we will candidly explain the challenges and help you evaluate your next steps.
