What makes car accident cases different

  • 1

  • 2

    Your state's fault rule can reduce or bar your recovery if you share any blame.

  • 3

    Policy limits often cap what you can realistically collect from the other driver.

Checklist

Evidence to save now

  • Police crash report number
  • Photos of vehicles, the scene and your injuries
  • Names and phone numbers of witnesses
  • Medical records and bills from the first visit onward
  • All letters and emails from any insurance company

How are the Chicago, IL car accident lawyers on this page ranked?

By a 100-point score built from Google's "car accident lawyer" search results in Chicago, IL. Half comes from each firm's position in the Google Maps results for that search (a firm that doesn't appear counts as position 21); half comes from its Google rating, weighted so that a high rating from many reviews beats a perfect rating from a handful. Firms need at least 25 Google reviews, a 4.0+ rating, and a Google listing as a personal injury attorney. No firm can pay to change its rank.
