Auto Accidents

Auto accidents are by far the leading cause of serious personal injuries in the Chicago metropolitan area. Crowded roads, speeding, distracted and inattentive drivers, and roads exceeding their design capacity all contribute to automobile accidents.

At Juergensmeyer & Associates, we are committed to maximizing the recovery of people injured in automobile accidents. Our Elgin car accident trial lawyers serve clients throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, including the counties of Cook, Kane, DuPage, McHenry, Lake, and DeKalb.

Frequently, the most important part of an automobile collision claim involving serious injuries is finding sufficient insurance coverage to fully compensate the injured person. Our attorneys are experts in finding all possible defendants, all possible avenues of recovery, and all available insurance coverage, so that our clients will receive the maximum possible recovery.

Our automobile accident attorneys have experience with a wide variety of personal injury cases involving a number of different vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, school buses, and pedestrians. Additionally, we have significant experience handling accidents involving uninsured motorists, underinsured motorists, and semi-trucks.

Semi-trucks present a unique danger on Chicago roadways. When an 18 wheeler hits a car or truck, the driver of the passenger vehicle is almost always seriously injured. These accidents generally involve injuries a requiring long and painful rehabilitation period. We are committed to maximizing our clients’ return in semi-truck accident claims by pursuing claims against the driver’s auto insurance policy as well as the trucking company’s commercial liability policy.

In addition, our auto accident attorneys have extensive experience litigating cases against drunk drivers. We know that insurance companies rarely take these cases to court. We also pursue Dram Shop cases against bars, clubs, and other establishments who sold alcohol to drivers who were already inebriated.
