Car Accidents
Chicago Car Accident Lawyers • Auto Accident Attorneys Serving Cook County, DuPage County and all of Illinois
The most common type of negligence involves some form of transportation liability. A drunk driver, a trucker who has fallen asleep at the wheel, or simply the wrongful act of another motorist can forever alter the lives of collision victims and their families.
We handle injury claims on behalf of individuals who have been injured in auto accidents such as truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents and crashes involving public transportation. Mass transportation disasters such as those involving airlines, railroads, or bus companies require immediate action and counsel. Investigation may be warranted into a defective vehicle or its component parts. This requires tenacious investigation of the root cause of a collision in order to secure fair and appropriate compensation for victims’ losses.
Often, the driver at fault in causing the collision and your injuries may not have sufficient insurance coverage or any insurance coverage to satisfy your claim. Compensation may still be possible, however, depending on your own automobile insurance coverage. We ensure that all your legal rights to recovery are thoroughly explored and pursue the case with the vigor and tenacity that has been our trademark for over 55 years.
Our firm has vast experience investigating and litigating automobile collisions and transportation negligence. That experience is vital to aggressive representation that regularly challenges large insurance companies, transportation authorities, municipalities, trucking companies, railroad and others responsible for mass transportation disasters.
