Chicago Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer

Motor vehicle accidents can be life-changing events that lead to significant physical, emotional and financial hardships. When the reckless or negligent actions of someone else have caused you catastrophic harm, let a skilled Chicago law firm fight for you.

At D&W Law Group, we understand the complexities and challenges that come with these incidents. No matter the type of accident or how disastrous your accident was, we are here to help you resolve your legal issues quickly and effectively so you can focus on your health and your future.

Types Of Motor Vehicle Accidents

There are many different types of motor vehicle accidents that can happen, each of them with unique risks. Our extensive experience as personal injury attorneys allows us to build custom-tailored representation strategies that accommodate your unique needs in any type of accident, including those below.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists share the road with motor vehicles and are at significant risk of serious injuries in a collision. Common causes include cars not yielding the right of way, drivers not respecting bike lanes, and “dooring” accidents.

Bus And Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Accidents involving buses and other commercial vehicles can result in significant injuries due to the size and weight of these vehicles. These claims may require extra effort to hold the liable party accountable if the bus company or even a parts manufacturer is ultimately responsible for your injuries.

Car Accidents

Car accidents are the most common type of motor vehicle accident. These accidents can be minor, like a fender bender, or major, resulting in permanent injuries or loss of life.

Motorcycle Accidents

Due to the lack of protective barriers on the road, motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable. They often suffer in accidents when other drivers fail to observe their surroundings or watch for motorcyclists around them.

Pedestrian Injuries

Pedestrians are extremely vulnerable in motor vehicle accidents. These incidents often occur at crosswalks or intersections when drivers fail to yield. It is common for drivers not to see pedestrians because they fail to look while driving through crosswalks or turning at an intersection.

Truck Accidents

Due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, truck accidents often result in more severe injuries. These accidents can be caused by driver fatigue, improper maintenance, overloaded cargo, or other factors. We are prepared to fight for you against trucking companies and their legal and insurance teams.

Uber And Lyft Accidents

With the rise of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, accidents involving these vehicles have become more common. Determining liability can be complicated, as the Uber driver, the other driver, or the rideshare company could all be liable. Our seasoned experience in these cases can help determine who to file a claim against on your behalf.

Uninsured Or Hit-And-Run Accidents

In hit-and-run cases, the at-fault driver leaves the scene without providing contact information or assisting the injured. These cases can be particularly challenging, requiring thorough investigation to identify the responsible party. Uninsured motorist coverage can also play a crucial role in securing compensation for your injuries.

Understanding the different types of motor vehicle accidents can help you identify the appropriate legal steps to take. At D&W Law Group, we have extensive experience handling a wide range of motor vehicle accident cases and are dedicated to securing the compensation you deserve.

Are You Eligible For Pain And Suffering Compensation After An Illinois Motor Vehicle Accident?

Most personal injury claims provide compensation for the economic expenses associated with the accident, but you may also be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering you experienced. “Pain and suffering” refers to the physical and emotional distress you experience as a result of an accident. This can include:

• Physical pain: Any physical discomfort or pain resulting from injuries sustained in the accident. This can range from minor aches and pains to severe, chronic pain.
• Emotional distress: Psychological impacts such as anxiety, depression, fear and trauma resulting from the accident and its aftermath.
• Loss of enjoyment of life: The diminished ability to enjoy daily activities and hobbies as you did before the accident.
• Disfigurement and scarring: Permanent physical changes resulting from the accident that affect your appearance and self-esteem.

This form of compensation is typically provided to those who suffered extreme injuries in their accident that have a long-term impact on their life. When building your claim, we will look for evidence of the pain and suffering you experienced, the severity of your injuries, the time it takes to recover, and even testimony from yourself and your loved ones to showcase the full extent of your suffering.

Why Legal Representation Matters

Trying to find a balance between your personal injury claim and your health after an accident can result in negative results for both. Even when insurance companies seem like they are on your side, they’re likely trying to get away with paying you less than you deserve. When you want to be sure you are doing what is best for you, our team can help you through it all.

As your legal representation, we can act as your advocates to review any offers you receive and determine if they accurately reflect the current and future expenses of your injuries. Additionally, we can also act on your behalf to minimize mistakes that could jeopardize your total compensation potential. Having an experienced attorney on your side showcases that you are serious about seeking justice, and we are here to help you.
