Car Accidents
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. But if a driver's negligent behavior or careless actions lead to the injury or death of another party, that driver must be held accountable.
Our firm represents clients who have suffered personal injuries in car, motorcycle, bicycle, boating, train or trucking accidents in the State of Illinois. Such accidents include those involving drunk or hit and run drivers, uninsured or underinsured drivers, as well as accidents occurring from motor vehicle, SUV and semi-tractor trailer collisions and rollovers.
We also represent those injured in accidents, collisions or crashes resulting from defective products or design in automobiles and trucks, 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.
If you or someone you love has been involved in a motor vehicle accident and may have a valid negligence claim, you should take action as quickly as possible. Statutes of limitations do exist, and they vary from case to case.
Please contact one of our injury attorneys at 877-374-1417 or 312-332-2872, or via our quick contact form. We will gladly review the details of your situation and consult with you on the best course of action. There is absolutely NO FEE for a consultation, and no obligation of any kind.
