Illinois Car Accident Injury Attorneys
Dziedziak & Marcus - Cook and Coward County Car Accident Representation
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of significant personal injury. Whether crashes occur between cars, involve a motorcycle or a semi truck or cause the premature death of a loved one, it is important for injured parties to work with an experienced personal injury attorney.
At Dziedziak & Marcus in Chicago, our lawyers assist individuals and families in Illinois suffering serious injury from accidents caused by the negligence of others. If you have been hurt in a car accident or lost a loved one in a fatal motor vehicle accident, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation. Working on a contingency basis, we are not paid until you receive compensation.
Compensation for Car Accident Victims
Shortly after a car accident, the insurance representative for the other person will likely contact you. Though he or she may seem quite friendly and interested in your wellbeing, it is important to remember that this person is not working for you. Known as an insurance adjuster, his or her goal is to obtain the information needed to minimize or disallow your claim. This is one reason why it is essential to speak with a personal injury attorney prior to making any recorded statement or signing any document for the insurance company, because any thing you say may be used against you to reduce your claim.
Having represented clients throughout Illinois for more than 30 years, the attorneys at Dziedziak & Marcus understand how serious injuries can deeply affect a family's finances. From the cost of getting the car repaired to covering medical expenses, it can be difficult to pay the bills — especially if the injured person is the primary breadwinner and unable to work.
If the person at fault in your accident was an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you may still be eligible for compensation by filing a claim with your own insurance company. At Dziedziak & Marcus, we can assist you in pursuing a claim or appealing a denied auto insurance claim.
Accountability for Those Who Cause Fatal Wrecks
Unfortunately, wrecks occasionally prove fatal, especially in drunk driving car accidents. In these situations, we understand the deep pain and grief you and your family must feel. In an ideal situation, a family could grieve their loss and, when they are ready, pursue a civil claim for compensation against the responsible parties. However, in reality, there is a very short window of time in which to collect unadulterated evidence from the accident scene, interview witnesses and file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Though it may be difficult, it is in your best interests to contact us when your family has experienced the loss of a loved one. With sensitivity to your loss, we will proceed to hold accountable those responsible for the fatal accident.
