Lindsey Seeskin

Lindsey Seeskin is the founder of Seeskin Law LLC, a values-driven personal injury and wrongful death law firm in Chicago. The values on which the firm is built are twofold – to offer all clients a rigorous, ethical brand of representation infused with deep and generous compassion; and to help anyone who can benefit from working with a personal injury attorney and ensure that everyone who calls is better off than they were before.

Lindsey’s personal values of integrity, universal respect and compassion inform every professional decision she makes for her clients and her practice.

The same values are evident in her approach to litigation. Lindsey believes that building airtight cases around an exhaustive list of proven facts not only speaks louder and more clearly than theatrics, and it also demonstrates respect for everyone involved.

When not in court fighting for the rights of those harmed by the negligence of others, Lindsey serves as an officer on the Board of Trustees for Anshe Emet Synagogue and the Board of Directors for The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. She lives in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago with her husband, son and daughter.

Q. Settlement delay: lawyer not informing about lien resolution process.

June 9, 2025

A: I'm very sorry to hear of the situation you find yourself in. Though not all necessary facts are provided in your description, I can confidently inform you that under nearly all circumstances, it should never take 10 months to resolve a client's liens. Personal injury attorneys know the work does not stop once you reach a settlement number, but rather continues until your client gets timely paid their portion of the settlement proceeds after resolution of all liens. Sometimes the process is short (e.g. fewer lienholders, and lienholders readily willing to negotiate) and can resolve within approximately 45 days, and other times it is long (e.g. difficult lienholders, a massive workers' compensation lien, or a health insurance carrier that should have paid a bill and didn't and for which an appeals process is warranted) and may take a few months to resolve. Regardless of the time frame, as the client you have a right to receive periodic updates on the status of resolving the liens from your attorney (and not just a legal assistant, though they are wonderful), and your attorney should be able to provide you with details (and not just vague reassurances and efforts to brush you off) if you request them. I would suggest reaching out and requesting a list of all lienholders, the amount claimed by the lienholders, which liens have been resolved and for what amounts, the anticipated timeframe for resolving the remaining outstanding liens, the reason for it taking the time it has taken thus far, and the steps being taken to get it resolved. You may also want to email this request to your attorney. Good luck! ... Read More

Q. Police have held my car on hold since 3/18/23 and I tried to get info on it but the police report doesn’t even exist

January 5, 2024

A: I'm very sorry to hear what you have been through. It's possible the police report number you were provided is incorrect. If that's the case, please know you can also search for police reports using the name of your "friend" and/or your own name, the date of the crash, and the location of the crash. Please also note that suburban police departments sometimes take 10 days to complete and upload the police reports to the websites used to access them (especially where an arrest is involved), but you can directly contact the police department's record division for updates as necessary.

Q. How long will it take to get a settlement check after signing release form?

November 3, 2023

A: Illinois law gives at-fault drivers/insurance companies 30 days to get you your settlement check from the date they receive your signed release. However, there are other factors that sometimes extend that time frame. For example, if you are working with an attorney and your attorney is negotiating with medical providers, health insurance companies or Medicaid/Medicare that are owed money now that your case has resolved, it can take longer than 30 days to receive your check.
