Chicago Car Accident Attorneys
Car accidents occur with disturbing frequency in the metropolitan Chicago area. There were 137,391 crashes in Cook County that resulted in 236 deaths and 38,887 injuries in 2010 – by far the most of any county in Illinois. In Lake County, 34 motorists died and another 4,450 were injured.
When car crashes happen, victims must cope with their injuries, but also with the financial burdens and administrative hassle that comes from dealing with insurance companies. The experienced attorneys at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. can help. We know the insurance companies and have three decades of experience fighting with reluctant insurers to recover compensation for injured clients.

The Lasting Impact of Chicago Car Accidents
Car crashes can have a lasting effect on families’ lives on multiple levels. Medical bills and the cost of rehabilitation can be astronomical for auto wreck victims. Emotional problems such as depression sometimes accompany those financial burdens, particularly for those with the most serious injuries. More than 12,300 people involved in Illinois car accidents in 2010 sustained incapacitating injuries such as:
- Broken bones
- Paralysis
- Limb loss
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries.
Severe car accident injuries can leave you without the means to earn income – and the lost wages can be difficult to replace, particularly if you were the primary wage earner in your household.
Our car accident attorneys understand how devastating your injuries can be. We have recovered damages on behalf of hundreds of clients hurt in Illinois car accident cases, including a $33.2 million verdict on behalf of a 22-year-old man who was paralyzed in an accident caused by an intoxicated driver and a $1.28 million verdict for a young woman who was injured in a Lake County wreck.
How Our Chicago Car Accident Lawyers Can Help
Although Illinois law requires all drivers to carry car insurance, the bottom line is that many people do not. If you are seriously injured due to the negligence of another driver, you will need to file a claim with your own insurance company. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that you will receive the payout you deserve, even from your own insurer.
The key to obtaining a favorable recovery in your car accident claim will hinge upon determining fault and proving negligence. We can do that. The attorneys at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. have 30 years of experience investigating car accidents. We know how to obtain and preserve important evidence, consult with medical experts to assess the extent of your injuries, and how to use all of that information to build a strong case on your behalf.
