Every time a driver gets behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, he or she is accepting responsibility for the safety of everyone else on the road. Accidents can and do happen.  According to the latest statistics from the Illinois Department of Transportation, in 2009 there were 911 people killed in Illinois car accidents, and over 89,000 people were injured.  When a driver's negligent behaviors or careless actions lead to the injury or death of another person, the negligent driver must be held accountable. 

Since 1992, Levin & Perconti has helped victims seek justice and the compensation they deserve.  If you have been injured as a result of another driver's mistakes, call us at 312-332-2872 for a free consultation to discuss your potential case with a Chicago car accident attorney.

WHAT TYPES OF ACCIDENT LAWSUITS DO WE HANDLE?

Our Chicago accident lawyers represent clients who have suffered personal injuries or lost a loved one in car, motorcycle, bicycle, boating, train,bus, or trucking accidents in the State of Illinois.

Such accidents include those involving:

• Drunk or intoxicated drivers
• Distracted drivers (radio, cell phones, text messages, and other electronics)
• Hit and run, or leaving the scene of an accident
• Uninsured or underinsured drivers
• Collisions
• Rollovers
• Defective design such as defective seatbelts, tires, or gas tanks

Injuries suffered as a result of these types of accidents can be severe and life altering. You may have suffered brain injuries, nerve damage or spinal cord paralysis, broken or dislocated a bone or limb, or even lost the use of a limb.

Our Chicago accident attorneys understand that your immediate goals after going through such trauma are to get your medical bills paid and covered, make sure you do not suffer financially through any lost wages, and make sure your insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to your injury.  That is the goal of an accident lawsuit, and we are here to help.
