Car Accidents
Our personal injury lawyers in Mt. Prospect know that it only takes an instant for a motor vehicle accident to happen. Over 28,800+ injuries were reported in Cook County alone in 2022, leading to:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- Other financial and life-changing challenges
We’ll negotiate with insurance companies, hold negligent parties responsible, and we have experience helping:
Drunk Driving Victims
Two thousand accidents involve alcohol impairment, and 30 deaths are caused each year in Cook County due to drunk driving. Drunk driving can often cause severe injuries to those involved.
We’ll help pursue charges and defend DUI victims who have had their lives forever changed due to someone else’s negligence.
Rideshare
Uber, Lyft and other ridesharing companies are found across Illinois. Insurance for these accidents is complex. Multiple parties may be involved in the claims process, leaving drivers unsure if they should contact:
- Uber or Lyft’s insurance
- The driver’s insurance
- Their own insurance
We’ll review your case for you and an experienced rideshare attorney will fight for the compensation that you deserve.
UM/UIM
Uninsured or underinsured motorists can be a nightmare for accident victims because they don’t know who will pay for their damages and/or medical bills. We’ll identify the parties to hold accountable, negotiate with insurers, and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Truck Accidents
If you or a loved one are involved in a truck accident, the injuries may be life-threatening. Over 5,500 tractor trailers with semi-trailer accidents occur in the county and 4,600 single-unit accidents.
We’ll represent you in any truck accident, including those involving:
Amazon
Amazon’s fast shipping and retail dominance have thousands of delivery trucks on the road daily in Illinois. Rapid delivery and strict delivery times can lead to poor judgment that causes serious accidents.
If you are injured in an accident, we’ll fight on your behalf to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible for your:
- Injuries
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Property damage
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Lost future earnings
We’ll negotiate with insurers to help you physically and mentally recover without looming financial stress over your head.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries and fatalities. You may be facing temporary or permanent disability, mounting medical bills, and emotional trauma that makes it difficult to live a normal life.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident because of someone else’s negligence, our lawyers will fight aggressively to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
Dog Bites & Attacks
Dog attacks can be traumatic and cause serious injuries, including:
- Lacerations
- Puncture wounds
- Infections
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
- Broken bones
- Emotional trauma
Dog bite claims can be complex. Our lawyers will help you understand your rights and guide you through the claims process.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Every year, pedestrians and cyclists suffer serious injuries or lose their lives because of negligent drivers who were:
- Speeding
- Distracted
- Intoxicated
- Driving recklessly
Our personal injury lawyers in Mt. Prospect will gather evidence to support your claim and hold negligent parties responsible. We’ll seek compensation for medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Premises Liability
Property owners must take reasonable steps to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. Failure to address known safety hazards can lead to serious injuries, including:
- Slips and falls
- Dog bites
- Robberies or assaults (if security is inadequate)
Our lawyers will negotiate with insurance companies or file a premises liability lawsuit to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Wrongful Death
Negligence can have deadly consequences. If your loved one is killed in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Funeral costs
- Medical expenses for hospital care and treatment
- The loss of financial support and future income your loved one can no longer provide
- Loss of support and companionship
- Pain and suffering
No amount of money can make up for the pain and grief of losing a loved one. However, negligent parties should be held accountable for their reckless actions. Our compassionate lawyers will fight on your behalf to prove that the negligent party is liable for your loved one’s death.
How to Choose the Right Personal Injury Lawyer for Your Case
If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to seek compensation for medical care, lost wages, and other damages. But to achieve the best possible outcome, you need the right personal injury lawyer on your side.
Here are a few important things to consider:
- Personal injury law experience: Do they have experience handling personal injury cases? Have they worked on cases that were similar to yours? An experienced lawyer will know how to handle your claim and how to overcome the challenges you may face along the way.
- Reputation in the community and industry: What do clients have to say about the lawyer? Do they have positive reviews and testimonials? A lawyer with a track record of success and a positive reputation is more likely to get results.
- Time and resources: Will your case get the attention it deserves? Does the firm have the resources to help your case achieve the best outcome?
Experience and reputation are crucial, but don’t overlook the importance of feeling comfortable with your lawyer. Your lawyer should be someone you trust – someone who’s happy to take on the burden of negotiating with insurance companies, protecting your best interests and fighting for a fair settlement.
