Car Accidents
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.
