Car Accidents

Car accidents happen even when we least expect them. Despite the frequency of these accidents, many people are not aware of their rights and the compensation they can get for their injuries.

If you have been injured in a car accident, take the following steps:

  • Record the names of witnesses
  • Visit your doctor or go to the emergency room at a hospital or clinic on the same day of the accident
  • Do not make any statements admitting fault
  • Report the accident to the police
    • Take a photo of the site of the accident and the vehicles involved
  • Call us immediately

When you are injured in a car accident, you are entitled to the following benefits:

  • Medical treatment
  • Compensation for days not worked per doctor’s orders
  • Compensation for permanent physical injuries, including pain and suffering, etc.
  • Repairs for damages to your vehicle

Bike Accidents

Bicycling is more popular than ever thanks to our desire to seek fitness-related activities and the city’s expansion of bicycle trails and bicycle paths on city streets in Illinois. As the popularity of the sport continues to grow, bicycle riders need to remember that their safety is not guaranteed as long as they share the road with cars and trucks. Despite the fact that more laws and considerations are given to protecting bicyclists on the road, they are still extremely susceptible to injuries compared to the drivers of motor vehicles on the road.

However, it is very important that you take the following steps to protect your rights:

  • Take a photo at the scene of the accident
  • Record the name and phone number of the witnesses
  • Immediately report the accident to the owner or property manager
  • Go to the emergency room to get proper medical treatment
  • File a police report or report the incident to the appropriate agency
