How We Can Serve You
Car Accidents
Car accident injuries can be life-changing events. Along with physical injuries, you may be suffering emotional distress that affects the quality of your life.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you don’t have to navigate the legal system on your own. Our personal injury lawyers in Hoffman Estates can help you pursue compensation for your injuries and ensure you receive the maximum recovery possible.
Our lawyers have experience handling a number of car accident cases, including:
Drunk Driving Victims
Drunk driving accidents can be devastating and have a ripple effect across families for months or even years. In the aftermath, the injured victims are often left with a mountain of medical bills and emotional trauma.
Our lawyers will fight on your behalf to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
Rideshare
Rideshare accidents are becoming increasingly more common and complex. While rideshare companies are required to have insurance policies, they aren’t always transparent about the details of their coverage.
If you’ve been involved in a rideshare accident – either as a passenger in a rideshare vehicle or if you were struck by a rideshare vehicle – we can guide you through this complex process and maximize the compensation for your injuries.
UM/UIM
Every year, millions of motorists drive without insurance. Many more drivers have inadequate coverage.
We know how stressful it can be when you’re involved in an accident with a hit and run driver or a driver who is underinsured or uninsured. Our lawyers can help you navigate the complexities of filing a claim or pursuing arbitration, so you can focus on your recovery.
Truck Accidents
Every year, truck accidents occur due to driver fatigue, speeding, inadequate training, distractions, poorly maintained vehicles and a host of other factors. Because there are so many variables involved, truck accident cases can be incredibly complex.
The trucking company, the driver and other parties may be held liable for their negligence. Our personal injury lawyers in Hoffman Estates can help you understand your rights and the best course of action to take to pursue compensation.
Amazon
Amazon is one of the biggest online retailers in the world, but the company’s focus on speedy deliveries puts other drivers at risk.
Accidents involving Amazon drivers are on the rise, and injured victims are often left feeling unsure of how they will obtain compensation for their injuries. We’re here to help. Our lawyers will advocate on your behalf to seek a fair settlement.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can have tragic consequences, leading to severe or even fatal injuries. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are more vulnerable on roadways, and collisions with passenger vehicles can lead to catastrophic injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, you need the help of experienced lawyers, like those at Vito & Dollenmaier Law.
Dog Bites & Attacks
Every year, thousands of people in the U.S. seek medical care for dog bites and attacks. Injuries from these incidents can be severe, causing disfigurement and emotional trauma.
Illinois has specific statutes and laws for dog bites. Our lawyers will help you seek compensation for your injuries.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Our personal injury lawyers in Hoffman Estates can handle your bicycle or pedestrian accident case. You have a right to be safe when walking on the sidewalk, crossing the street, or riding your bike.
If someone else’s negligence results in an accident, you may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
We’ll review your case and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for anyone who enters. If this duty is breached and you’re injured, you may be able to hold the owner liable for your injuries. We’ll need to prove that the owner failed to address known hazards, such as:
- Placing signage on the ground when the floor is wet
- Fixing dangerous steps or a loose banister
- Uneven or damaged flooring
Slip and fall injuries are common, and our attorneys know how to prove your case and get you compensation.
Wrongful Death
If your loved one is killed by someone else’s negligence, you can seek damages from the negligent party. You can seek damages for:
- Your loved one’s medical expenses incurred as a result of the incident
- Financial support and loss of income that the deceased can no longer provide
- Burial, cremation and other funeral costs
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship and support
We’ll fight by your side to recover the most damages possible for you and your loved ones.
How to Choose the Best Personal Injury Lawyer for Me
Personal injury lawyers in Hoffman Estates need to be a good fit for you and your case. Pursuing damages, or a wrongful death claim can be a long and complex process.
The right lawyer for you is someone who:
- Worked on similar cases: Your lawyer should have experience in personal injury claims and experience working on similar cases.
- Receives rave reviews and testimonials: What are others saying about your lawyer? Do they have good reviews online? Testimonials? Case results that they can share? Social proof will help you feel more comfortable with your lawyer.
- Consults with you for free: A free consultation is crucial when working with a lawyer because it allows you to learn about the person, understand if they’re a good personality fit for you and to better understand if you have a case.
- Dedicates the time and attention your case deserves: Clients often get lost in large firms, leading to less time and attention to their case than they deserve. What forms of communication will you use with your lawyer? Will the lawyer be too bogged down to help you with your case?
A lawyer who only practices personal injury law can help you navigate Illinois’ complex laws to ensure that you reach the best settlement possible for your case.
