You Can Rely on Us for Effective Legal Services in Auto Accident Claims

With so much commuter and vacationer traffic on Chicago streets at all times, accidents can be caused for any reason. Factors such as speeding, failing to yield and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can cause serious accidents. It is important to consult with a skilled lawyer to learn about your options for monetary compensation if you have been involved in a serious auto accident.

Drunk Driver Accidents

If a drunk driver causes an accident, it is possible to recover damages from not only the driver’s insurance company but also the restaurant or bar that over-served him or her. This is called dram shop liability, and a lawyer at The Horwitz Law Group can explain your rights in greater detail during a free consultation.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

If you were injured in a hit-and-run accident, it may be possible to recover compensation from your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We can help you assess your available options.

Pedestrian Accidents

With so much pedestrian traffic throughout the city of Chicago, it is possible to get hurt in a wide range of accidents. Common accidents include cars failing to yield at crosswalks and sidewalks, on streets and in parking lots.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists in Chicago run the risk of serious injury while riding along city streets. Our firm can answer questions about pursuing compensation from dangerous, distracted or aggressive drivers who hit and injure cyclists.

Speeding Accidents

One of the most common causes of car accidents is speeding. The personal injury lawyers at The Horwitz Law Group work diligently to hold responsible those who put themselves above the law and put others at risk by speeding or driving recklessly.

Distracted Driving Accidents

Distractions such as texting, talking on a cell phone, using the GPS system, selecting music, putting on makeup, eating and watching videos can cause serious accidents. If you or a loved one was injured in an accident caused by a distracted or negligent driver, it is important to work with a personal injury lawyer to seek the maximum compensation possible for your injuries.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents

At The Horwitz Law Group, our personal injury lawyers provide skilled representation to injured individuals hurt in accidents involving buses, landscaping vehicles, utility maintenance vehicles, taxis and other commercially-owned vehicles.

Hazardous Roadways

With the tremendous amount of traffic on Chicago streets and highways, it is possible that incorrectly designed or maintained roadways can cause serious accidents. At The Horwitz Law Group, we represent clients injured in accidents involving defectively designed, built or maintained streets, highways, bridges and intersections.

School Bus Accidents

The school bus accident lawyers at The Horwitz Law Group provide skilled representation to clients hurt in a wide array of accidents. These individuals can include school bus passengers, pedestrians and other drivers hit by school buses.

Railroad Crossing Accidents

Railroad crossing accidents can cause catastrophic injuries or even death. Our lawyers help injured people hurt in railroad crossing accidents, including those caused by operator error, equipment failure or lack of appropriate safety signs and warning signals.

Head-On and Crossover Collisions

Head-on and crossover collisions can be caused by drivers illegally swerving onto the center lane or trying to pass another vehicle. These accidents can be severe and lead to serious injuries.

Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end collisions are most often caused by driver error or weather conditions. This type of collision can cause serious injuries such as whiplash. Do not hesitate to schedule a free consultation with an experienced car accident lawyer to learn more about your options for monetary compensation after this kind of auto accident.

T-Bone Accidents

The car accident lawyers at The Horwitz Law Group provide skilled representation to individuals injured in T-bone accidents. These side-impact automobile crashes are commonly caused by negligent drivers running a red light or stop sign.

FAQs About Auto Accident Cases in Illinois

What makes hit-and-run accident claims different?

In hit-and-run cases, the driver may not be identified. These claims usually rely on uninsured motorist coverage to compensate victims. A lawyer can guide you through the process of filing a claim and proving liability, even without identifying the driver.

What should I do if I have been injured as a pedestrian in an auto accident?

Seek immediate medical attention, document the accident and contact a personal injury attorney. Pedestrian accidents often involve intricate liability issues that legal assistance can help untangle.

What steps are taken to resolve T-bone accident claims?

Since these cases often involve red light or stop sign violations, our team will examine evidence such as surveillance footage, accident reconstruction and traffic signal timing to build a compelling claim.

Why are commercial vehicle accident cases unique?

Commercial vehicle accidents can involve complex liability issues, often implicating drivers, employers and manufacturers. The Horwitz Law Group works to identify all liable parties and pursue full compensation in these situations.

What if poor road conditions contributed to my accident?

Road defects, such as potholes or poor signage, may lead to liability claims against government entities or contractors. A lawyer can properly determine responsibility and help you pursue damages accordingly.

What factors influence the valuation of an auto accident case?

The value depends on numerous factors like the severity of injuries, medical costs, lost income and pain and suffering stemming from the accident. An experienced lawyer will ensure that all impacts are accurately calculated.
