Chicago Auto Accident Attorneys
Chicago Car Accident Lawyer Fights for the Compensation You Deserve
When you’re injured in a car accident, you may be offered significantly less than what your claim is worth. Our car accident attorneys will:
- Perform in-depth investigations of crashes
- Interview witnesses
- Gather evidence to support your claim
- Ensure that all injuries and medical treatment are documented
- Negotiate settlements that are generally far more than what insurance companies initially offer
If an accident case goes to court, our Chicago auto accident attorneys will ensure that your rights are protected. We will help you obtain financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages to which you may be entitled.
Chicagoans spend hours on highways and city streets throughout Illinois every day. When you share the road with distracted drivers, inexperienced motor vehicle operators, and reckless or impaired motorists, your safety and well-being can be jeopardized in the blink of an eye.
In 2018 alone, Illinois saw more than 319,000 motor vehicle accidents that caused over 94,000 serious injuries. That same year 1,035 victims lost their lives in car crashes.
Car Accidents Result in Serious Consequences
When people become victims of serious motor vehicle crashes they are often faced with a number of physical and emotional challenges, financial burdens and other hurdles that make putting their lives back together difficult. They often face mounting medical bills, the inability to work and provide for their families, pain and suffering and mental distress, the loss of physical abilities and property damage. Our auto accident lawyers in Chicago can help victims and their families find relief from the financial stressors that occur after a crash.
Factors that Contribute to the High Number of Car Accidents in Illinois
