Hoffman Estates Car Accident Attorneys

Compassionate and Skilled Car Accident Attorneys Serving Hoffman Estates

In the moments following a car accident, the steps you take can significantly impact your ability to obtain fair compensation for your injuries and losses. At Newland & Newland, LLP, our dedicated personal injury attorneys work to guide car accident victims through the legal maze that follows an accident. With a deep understanding of Illinois traffic laws and a compassionate approach to personal injury law, we are here to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Immediate Assistance to Protect Your Rights

The aftermath of a car accident can be chaotic and confusing. During this time, it is important to take the right steps to protect yourself and ensure that your injuries and damages will be addressed correctly. First of all, you should never admit fault in any way, since this could limit your ability to recover compensation. Calling emergency services for medical assistance can ensure that any necessary immediate medical care will be provided, and a police officer can come to the scene of the accident and make a report. It is also important to see a doctor as soon as possible, since this will provide documentation of your injuries and ensure that you receive all necessary treatment.

Our attorneys can assist you from the very beginning to ensure that your case is handled correctly. We can help with:

• Gathering and preserving evidence: The evidence from the scene of an accident is crucial for building a strong case. Our team can help collect information supporting your claim for compensation, including police reports, photographs of the scene, witness statements, and any available video footage.
• Filing insurance claims: Navigating the insurance claims process can be complex and frustrating. We can manage all communications with insurance companies, ensuring that your claim is filed correctly and that you are not pressured into accepting a low settlement.
• Pursuing lawsuits if necessary: If an insurance company refuses to offer an acceptable settlement, or if you will be unable to receive coverage that will fully address your damages, our attorneys are prepared to pursue legal action on your behalf. We have the trial experience needed to present a compelling case in court.

Representation in All Types of Car Accidents

Car accidents can occur in a variety of ways, and each accident is likely to have its own set of legal challenges. Our attorneys have experience handling cases involving all types of accidents, including:

Distracted Driving Accidents

Driver distractions are among the leading causes of car accidents in the 21st century. Whether distractions occur due to texting while driving, using a GPS navigation system, eating food or drinking beverages, dealing with children, conversing with passengers, reaching for objects, or simply letting one's mind wander, drivers who do not fully pay attention to driving are likely to cause collisions. Our team is skilled in proving that distractions were the cause of accidents and securing compensation for our clients.

Drunk Driving Accidents

Despite knowledge of the dangers of intoxicated driving, some drivers choose to violate the law and put others at risk by drinking alcohol or using drugs before getting behind the wheel. Drunk driving accidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities. Our attorneys are committed to holding intoxicated drivers accountable for their actions and pursuing the maximum compensation for victims and their families.

Accidents Caused by Traffic Violations

Dangerous or illegal behaviors such as speeding, running red lights, making illegal turns, tailgating, making sudden lane changes without checking blind spots, or refusing to give other vehicles the right of way are common causes of car accidents. We can investigate accidents to determine whether they were caused by traffic violations, aggressive driving, or other unsafe behaviors. By demonstrating that an accident was caused by a driver's negligence, we can ensure that victims will be able to recover full and fair compensation.
