Chicago Car Accident Lawyer

Lawyers for Auto Accident Injuries in Cook County

Most Americans spend a large amount of time on the road. Driving or riding in cars, trucks, or other vehicles is a commonplace activity, which can cause many people to forget that it can also be very dangerous. Just one mistake can lead to a collision that can change a person's life in an instant, and the injuries suffered in car crashes can have long-lasting effects on their health and finances. If someone else was fully or partially responsible for a collision, victims need to understand their options, and a personal injury lawyer can ensure that the right steps to receive financial compensation are taken.

At Karchmar & Lambert, P.C., our attorneys have over 50 years of combined legal experience. We have successfully represented clients in a wide variety of injury cases and have helped recover millions of dollars in compensation. We will help you build the strongest possible case by gathering evidence to show who was responsible for your collision, and we will utilize medical and financial experts to demonstrate how your life has been affected. No case is too large or too small for us to handle, and we will not charge any attorney's fees unless we win your case and collect compensation for you.

Legal Help With Multiple Different Types of Auto Accidents

Car crashes occur regularly in the city of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. With interstate freeways and tollways sitting next to busy city streets, any number of issues can lead to collisions that result in serious injuries and extensive property damage. We can provide representation in cases involving:

• Rear-End Collisions - Even though a car striking another vehicle from behind may seem like a minor fender bender, these crashes can lead to a variety of significant injuries, as well as expensive vehicle repairs. Victims need to determine their options for receiving compensation that addresses these issues.
• Rollover Accidents - Vehicles traveling at high speeds can be difficult to control, and they may roll over after a driver swerves around obstacles in the road or because of mechanical failures. In these cases, drivers, passengers, or people in other vehicles involved in a collision need to understand how they can receive compensation for their injuries.
• Distracted Drivers - One of the most common forms of driver negligence involves a person taking their attention away from the road. We can help collision victims hold drivers responsible for collisions that took place because of distractions.
• Drunk Driver Liability - Driving while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs is incredibly dangerous, and drivers who violate the law and put others at risk may be held liable for injuries or wrongful death that occur as a result.
• Uninsured and Underinsured Drivers - If the driver at fault for a collision has no auto insurance, or if their insurance policy will not fully cover a victim's injuries and damages, we can help ensure that a person receives coverage under their own auto insurance policy without an increase in premiums and without being dropped from coverage.
• Hit and Runs - When a driver flees the scene of a crash, victims may be unsure about their options for receiving compensation. We can help determine whether a hit-and-run driver can be identified and whether other sources of compensation are available.

In addition to assisting with car crashes, we also work to pursue justice for victims of truck crashes, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and crashes involving taxis or rideshare drivers. In all cases, we fight to protect our clients' rights and help them receive the compensation they deserve for damages including medical expenses, loss of current or future income, temporary or permanent physical impairment, decreased quality of life, and physical and emotional pain and suffering.
