Chicago, Illinois Auto Accident Lawyer

Cars • Motorcycles • Bicycles • Pedestrians

Some law firms shy away from jury trials. We don’t. Although the large majority of our car accident claims are settled out of court, our reputation for tough litigation provides clients with an important bargaining chip to get full compensation through an insurance settlement.

Seidman Law Offices of downtown Chicago, Illinois represents victims of all types of auto accidents. Our lawyers assist clients in Cook County and communities of adjoining counties, including Waukegan, Joliet, Wheaton, and Geneva.

Our car accident attorneys have obtained many substantial verdicts and settlements for personal injury clients and family members who lost a loved one to a fatal car accident. In one case, we secured a settlement of $6.75 million in an auto accident that killed a child and left an adult seriously injured. In another case, we obtained $900,000 for injuries suffered in a collision.

Thorough Investigation Is the Key to Our Success

Seidman Law Offices handles injuries and wrongful death claims arising from all types of motor vehicle accidents, including:

• Collisions, crashes, and rollovers of passenger cars
• Motorcycle spills and car-motorcycle collisions
• Bicyclists and pedestrians struck by cars (including children)
• Truck accidents (which often involve third parties)

Our Chicago auto accident attorneys prepare every case as if it will go to trial – which we often do. To prevail in court, we must have good facts. Our auto accident lawyers or an investigator visit the scene as soon as possible after the accident. Quick action at the outset of a case to preserve evidence (photos, witness statements) is critical to proving negligence or liability.

Getting Clients What Their Claim is Worth

Our car accident attorneys are familiar with typical injuries in auto accidents, including soft tissue damage, spinal cord and back injuries, broken bones, and injuries to the face and eyes. We counsel clients to be patient in seeking compensation, as some injuries don’t manifest until well after the crash. We never take a quick settlement – we seek full compensation to meet the current and future needs of our clients.

Compensation depends on the severity of the injury, and recovery time. We seek no less than the lost wages and medical expenses, as well as damages for loss of normal life, pain and suffering, and future surgeries or treatment.
