Will County Personal Injury Lawyer

They happen so often it seems that few of them even make the news. An auto accident, however, does not need to be the lead story in order to change your life drastically. On average, a person is injured in an Illinois car accident every nine minutes, equaling more than 200 per day, and about 80,000 each year. Each and every one of them is faced with putting their lives back together, to some extent, and moving forward in spite of their injuries. If you have been hurt in a car accident, compensation may be available to help you recover. At Flaherty Law, we are dedicated to helping injured car accident victims seek the damages they need to rebuild and recover.

Types of Illinois Car Accidents

Our law firm has worked with clients who have suffered injuries in a wide variety of car accident situations. We know that devastating and life-changing accidents can occur at any time, and may be caused by:

• Drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs;
• Texting while driving, using a cell phone, or other distracted driving;
• Head-on collisions;
• Vehicle rollovers;
• Defective or recalled auto parts, including ignition systems and airbags; and
• Hit and run situations.

Whatever the cause, if another driver or party acted in a reckless or negligent manner, they may be liable for your injuries. You should not have to pursue the case alone; get the assistance of an attorney who will keep your best interests as the top priority, every step of the way.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims

Recovering damages after a car accident can be difficult under the best of circumstances. The situation can be infinitely more challenging, however, when the driver at fault for your injuries does not have liability insurance. If you have been injured by an uninsured driver or if other the drivers insurance policy limits are not sufficient to cover your injuries, let Flaherty Law help you file an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim. These claims must be filed against your own insurance company, often leading to legal obstacles and complexities that require the services of a skilled accident attorney. We will fight to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve, regardless of the at-fault partys coverage or policy limitations.
