Car Accidents

[Photo: Auto Accidents Law]Abels & Annes, P.C. represents many clients whose injuries resulted from auto accidents in the Chicago area. Anyone who operates a motor vehicle must use reasonable care to avoid injuring another person. The failure to do so may constitute negligence, and the driver of the vehicle that caused the car crash can be liable for damages, including lost wages, loss of income, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other types of personal injuries resulting from the collision. If you have been hurt in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation. We also handle truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents and bus accidents.

Sometimes the negligent driver may not have insurance coverage. You still may have a case. Depending on your own automobile insurance coverage, we may be able to recover for you with an uninsured motorist claim or an under-insured motorist claim.

The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 26% of people ages 16 and older have sustained a car accident injury requiring medical attention.  Of those people hurt, 56% required additional follow-up treatment after initial medical attention.  In 2008, 37,313 people died nationwide in auto accidents and 41,059 people died in 2007.  Further, there were 2,491,000 people injured in 2007 car crashes.

Our law firm has extensive experience dealing with auto claims and we often obtain substantial settlements for clients injured in auto accidents.  The other driver's insurance carrier is going to try to pay you as little as possible on your claim, and you need experienced car accident lawyers fighting on your side.
