If you are unable to work because of your injuries from the car accident, you and your spouse may be finding it difficult to deal with the sudden loss of income.

A Chicago Car Accident Lawyer May Determine Who Is Liable for Your Injuries
At Pintas & Mullins Law Firm, we may investigate to find out what led to the car accident and who was responsible. We can review the police report; statements from eyewitnesses, and any surveillance or cell phone video of the accident that may exist.
We can consider other factors that may have played a role, such as the time of day, the weather at the time of the crash, and road conditions. We can also look at the driver’s actions and figure out whether they led to the accident.
Our investigation may reveal that the driver ran a red light, a violation of Illinois Statutes Chapter 625. Vehicles §-305, or failed to yield the right-of-way, a violation of Illinois Statutes Chapter 625. Vehicles §-905. We may also learn that the person operating the other vehicle was speeding or driving recklessly, was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or was using a cell phone to talk or text while driving. All of those actions violate Illinois laws.
How a Chicago Car Accident Lawyer May Help You Seek Financial Compensation
Many people who were injured in a car accident do not know how long they will need to receive medical care for their injuries, how much income they may lose, and how the accident may impact their lives in the long term. Injured parties may have no idea how much compensation they deserve, and insurance companies understand that.
Insurers have teams of lawyers looking out for their best interests. If you were to approach negotiations on your own without knowing what your case was worth, and if you were also dealing with physical pain and financial and emotional stress, you might accept a settlement for less than you deserved.
Chicago car accident lawyers at Pintas & Mullins Law Firm may negotiate a fair settlement with a driver’s insurance company on behalf of an injured client, but that is not always possible. If the insurer offers a small settlement and is unwilling to agree to an amount that we believe is reasonable, we may file a personal injury lawsuit.
In some cases, a victim of a car accident suffers severe injuries that will have long-term effects. If a driver has car insurance, but the liability coverage limits are not high enough to adequately compensate a person who was severely injured in an accident, we may file a personal injury lawsuit. We may also file a lawsuit if a driver who was responsible for an accident did not have insurance coverage at all. Your Chicago personal injury lawyer will evaluate your case for free, explain all your legal options, assign a monetary value to your injuries and losses, and initiate the process. Most cases such as your settle outside the court, as your attorney will do everything in their power to maximize the settlement amount you deserve and should receive. If we are unable to settle the case out of court, our firm remains willing to go to trial to seek justice on behalf of an injured client.
