We determine fault by investigating the accident to prove another party’s negligence. Our team gathers evidence that can include police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and expert analysis to establish who breached their duty of care—whether a distracted driver, a drunk driver, or even a vehicle manufacturer in the case of a defective part.

Chicago Car Accident Lawyer
Experienced Auto Accidents Attorney On Your Side
No one ever plans to be involved in a car accident, but sadly, motor vehicle accidents happen every day on Illinois roads. If you suffer injuries in a car accident, you need the legal representation of an attorney who understands the pain you are going through and can help you get the compensation you need.
The attorneys at Saks, Robinson & Rittenberg, Ltd. understand that your car accident is as unique as you are and that your future can depend on the outcome of your case. We will work diligently to ensure that you get the compensation that you deserve.
Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents
Many different types of car accidents can occur. These include rear-end accidents, head-on collisions, and T-bone crashes, to name a few. Regardless of the kind of accident, we will investigate to determine who is at fault for your injuries. Was it a distracted driver, a defective tire, a poorly designed seatbelt, or poor road conditions? There could be more than one party responsible for your injuries, and we will determine who is at fault.
Our firm has experience in handling a variety of complex vehicle accident claims. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Car accidents: These have many causes but may involve reckless acts such as drunk driving or speeding. Accidents can be particularly severe if they happen at a high speed.
- Truck accidents: These often involve complex rules and regulations because of the involvement of a commercial business. Truck accidents can also be catastrophic.
- Passenger accidents: When a passenger is injured, it can be especially difficult. They are not in control of the vehicle but still suffer injuries. Our attorneys know how to handle these special accidents, including those that occur on mass transit.
- Bicycle accidents: Establishing who is at fault for a bicycle accident can be challenging. Our firm has extensive experience handling these accidents and can help riders hold any negligent parties responsible for the harm they caused.
- Motorcycle accidents: Accidents that occur between a motorcycle and other vehicle are often the result of negligence by the car driver. These accidents also often result in significant injuries.
- Pedestrian accidents: When a pedestrian is involved in a car accident, they have no protection against injuries. Unlike the vehicle driver, there is no seatbelt or airbag to protect them. This means that a pedestrian almost always suffers the most significant injuries in a car-pedestrian accident.
Statute of Limitations
When you have suffered injuries in a car accident, there is a time limit, or statute of limitations, for filing a lawsuit against the party responsible for your injuries. In Illinois, this time limit is two years. However, in certain situations, the time limit can be more or less. An experienced car accident attorney can help you understand the statute of limitations for your case.

FAQs About Auto Accidents in Illinois
The police report says I was partially at fault. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. A police report is just one piece of evidence, and it is not the final word on fault. Illinois uses a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can seek and recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault. We can conduct our own investigation to build the strongest possible case for you.
What compensation can I pursue after a car accident?
You can seek compensation for numerous damages, including medical bills (past and future), wages lost from being unable to work, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage to your vehicle. Our goal is to secure a settlement that covers every loss you have suffered.
What if the driver who hit me was uninsured or underinsured?
If you were hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you might still be able to recover compensation through your insurance policy’s Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Navigating these claims can be difficult. We will review your policy and fight to ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.
Will I have to go to court for my auto accident case?
Many car accident cases are settled out of court. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which gives us a strong position to demand a fair settlement. If the insurance company refuses to offer what you deserve, we are fully prepared to fight for you in court.
