Reputable Personal Injury Lawyers Serving The Chicago Area’s Passenger Injury Victims

About 25,000 passengers are injured in Illinois vehicle accidents each year. If you were injured in a vehicle collision as a passenger, you may have a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver –  either the driver of the other car or the driver of the car you were riding in. Normally, an auto insurance company will end up paying your claim, not the at-fault driver.

Don’t Let the Insurance Company Take Advantage of You

Insurance adjustors carry a large bag of tricks into any claim negotiation. This is to be expected, of course, since insurance companies make money by accepting premiums, not by paying claims. If you are negotiating without a lawyer to advise you, you could easily be taken in. The insurance adjustor might, for example, try to deduct from your claim for not wearing a seatbelt, since failure to wear a seatbelt is against the law and since your injuries might have been less severe had you been wearing one. The adjustor will be hoping you don’t know that under Illinois law, your failure to wear a seatbelt can’t be used against you in an injury claim.

A Word From One of Our Clients

“Two years ago, I was involved in a trucking accident involving a 14-wheeler truck that nearly disabled me for life. Steve fought to make sure that I received the most possible compensation for my injuries. I was about to take the insurance company’s lowball offer, but decided to call Steve first – it was the best decision I’ve made yet.” – Malman Law Client
