Car Collision Lawyers

All drivers must follow the rules of the road to protect our communities from needless harm. The bottom line is that personal injury cases happen because often times, people act carelessly toward others. When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they must compensate the victim for all of the consequences that follow. Before going to trial, the personal injury lawyers at our Chicago firm investigate each case because we know that there has to be a good reason for going to court. Before going to trial, we attempt to resolve our clients’ cases with the insurance companies and corporations because our clients must have a good reason for going to trial. Whether seeking compensation for a family who has lost a loved one or fighting for the needs of individuals harmed by others, we are dedicated to you and your case.

Truck Crash Lawyers

All truck drivers must operate their rigs safety to prevent needless injury and mayhem on our roads.

Most truck drivers have safety training that goes over and beyond what we learn in driver’s education. Every time a professional driver gets behind the wheel of their company’s vehicle, they accept responsibility for the safety of everyone sharing the road. Operating commercial vehicles is a privilege and a serious responsibility because the size and weight of tractor-trailers, cargo vans, and buses can cause massive harm even at relatively low speeds. If you are in need of accomplished legal representation in any of our practice areas, contact us to schedule a free consultation.

Our truck injury work is handled on a contingency basis, which means there is no charge to you unless we recover money for the damages in your case. If you would like to talk to a Chicago personal injury attorney about a potential case, call us at 312-724-5846 for a free consultation. You can also complete our website contact form and a lawyer will call you back.
