Helping Car Accidents Victims Through The Legal Process

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 2.34 million people were injured in traffic accidents throughout the United States in a single year. Based on these staggering car accident statistics, it is important to realize that a collision and resulting injuries can happen to you anytime you are out on the roads. 

Car accidents have the potential to completely change your life and even minor crashes can cause stress and can result in medical expenses and vehicle damage. However, the legal process regarding car accidents can be intimidating and complicated, so it is no surprise that many auto accidents do not know where to turn for help.

At Saks, Robinson & Rittenberg, Ltd., we help people in and around Chicago who have been injured and have suffered losses due to auto accidents. We can evaluate your rights and help you take all the necessary steps to obtain the financial recovery you deserve.

Protecting Your Legal Rights After a Chicago Auto Accident

Not everyone has the right to recover after a car accident. For example, if you caused the accident through your own mistakes, you will likely not have many legal rights to recovery under Illinois law. However, if you suspect that anyone else was at least partially to blame for causing the collision, you should discuss your options with our office today.

We will evaluate your situation and determine whether we can identify any acts of negligence that led to your car accident. Some common examples of negligence in these cases can include the following:

• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• Texting, using a cell phone, or other forms of distracted driving;
• Aggressive driving behaviors;
• Violations of any Illinois or local traffic laws;
• Defective and malfunctioning auto parts;
• Dangerous road hazards.

There are many additional acts of negligence that we have identified and proven in our car accident cases.

Car Accident Injuries Can Change Your Life

Traffic collisions have the potential to cause serious and life-changing injuries. Even if your injury does heal with treatment and time, you will still likely face a pile of medical bills and may lose income from missing work. This can all cause significant financial strain and stress for you and your family. Anyone who was negligent in causing your accident should be held fully liable for all of your losses, including:

• Medical bills and future estimated medical costs;
• Lost income and future lost earning power;
• Pain and suffering;
• Loss of enjoyment of life;
• Permanent impairment, disability, or disfigurement.

When we assess your case, we will also assess the estimated value of your claim, which can vary significantly depending on the circumstances of your case.
