September 2011

Dear Attorney Rudich,

I can't thank you eough for everything. It was shortly after my car accident...I emailed you. You contacted me, answered what questions I had, and offered to take my case. To have your representation gave me great peace of mind.

A couple of months later you were very kind to help me with an unrelated situation (I was contacted by a collection agency about a medical bill...) Arrangements were nade to have a lien placed on my car accident settlement. You also referred me to ... a place that offered a lien-based arrangement as well. This was all very much appreciated!

When we spoke two weeks agao, I was very pleasantly surprised when you told me you had negotiated reduced payoff amounts with my medical providers. I never expected that. Because of this, my settlement came to almost twice what I had expected.

Thank you so much for everything. It's been wonderful having you handle my case...

Sincerely,

Chicago resident who was in a car accident and hired Roger Rudich

 

The Value of a Car Accident Lawyer

Even the best drivers are occasionally involved in accidents. Unfortunately, other drivers and their insurance companies have an incentive not to pay a fair amount for damages. With the bad economy, insurance companies are fighting more car accident claims and postponing payment. It is best to have an attorney who understands Illinois motor vehicle liability law to help you get the settlement you deserve.

Auto Accident Litigation

Don’t let someone else’s negligence cost you money. Every ten seconds, someone in the U. S. is involved in a car accident, according to the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration. Alcohol usage is a leading cause of car accidents. Also, Illinois has banned driving while texting and using a hand-held cell phone while driving. If you suffered a serious personal injury involving medical costs and/or lost wages, you are entitled to compensation.

What to Do after a Car Accident

What you should do following a car accident in addition to speaking with a qualified auto accident attorney:

  1. Record the personal and insurance information of other involved drivers. Try to obtain contact information for any witnesses at the scene.
  2. Make no statement to other drivers beyond providing your own personal and insurance information. If the police are at the scene, you will also be required to make a brief statement describing the incident. Always be truthful and civil.
  3. Record the scene of the accident using drawings or photographs. Keep a disposable camera in your car for this purpose.
  4. Report the accident to your insurance company immediately. Any delay may give your insurance provider grounds for denying your claim.
  5. If you are injured, go to the emergency room or see a doctor following the accident for a complete medical evaluation. Conditions associated with your accident may not manifest themselves immediately, but could cause chronic pain and other health problems without proper treatment. Keep records of all medical treatment you receive.
  6. Provide all materials and information related to the car accident to your attorney.
