Car Accidents
Over the last 15 years, insurance companies have increasingly developed general policies of undervaluing the amount of compensation owed to injury victims of automobile accidents caused by the negligence or carelessness of other people. In fact, many insurance companies have resorted to computer programs to determine the value of a personal injury case. Furthermore, many companies don't believe that people can sustain injuries unless they are dead or seriously maimed. Our personal injury lawyers are intent on trying to change the way insurance companies evaluate injuries sustained in car accidents.
The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. has succeeded in resolving many cases like these that other law firms have generally found challenging to prove. Our personal injury lawyers are here to fight for your rights as an injured person, and we will do everything we can to make sure that the liable party's insurance company pays you the maximum recovery for your injuries.

From the moment you decide to retain our law firm as your legal representation, we will take immediate and decisive action. We have a doctor on our staff with a law degree. He will examine your injuries and make the best assessment of how long and how much money it will take for you to recover. Often, our car accident experts will examine the accident scene to collect and document evidence for your claim. Our attorneys will contact the negligent party's insurance company and start settlement negotiations process right away.

Pedestrian and Bicyclist Injuries
You don't have to be a driver or a passenger of a motor vehicle involved in a car accident to be eligible for compensation. In 2005, 164 pedestrians were killed in Illinois because of negligent motor vehicle drivers, while nationally, 64,000 pedestrians were injured. That same year, 22 bicyclists died because of collisions involving motor vehicles. Our law firm has helped many pedestrians and bicyclists file damages for their personal injuries.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists
Although, by law, all drivers are required to have insurance, not everyone does. If you have been in a hit-and-run accident or a car collision involving a negligent, uninsured driver, you will have to turn to your insurance company to file a recovery claim. If the at-fault driver has only partial insurance coverage, you will also have to turn to your insurance company to collect the remaining damages. In both kinds of cases, you will have to prove that the other driver was negligent, which is why you should retain an experienced personal injury lawyer. Our car accident lawyers can prove that you were the victim of a negligent car driver and negotiate the damage amount for you.
