Schaumburg Car Accident Attorneys

Car Accident Attorneys Serving Victims in Schaumburg

Motor vehicle collisions can be traumatic events. When two or more vehicles collide, drivers and passengers may be shaken up and disoriented, and they may need some time to process, determine the extent of any injuries they have suffered, assess the damage to the vehicles involved, and determine what to do next. Victims may be overwhelmed not only by their injuries and other damages, but also by the legal complexities that arise in the immediate aftermath of a collision and in the days and weeks to come.

It is important to act quickly to ensure that issues related to an accident will be handled correctly. The Schaumburg car accident attorneys at Newland & Newland, LLP are here to provide legal help and representation. With a deep understanding of Illinois traffic laws and a commitment to personalized, compassionate legal representation, our team is dedicated to ensuring that car accident victims receive the maximum compensation for their losses. Our law firm has extensive experience handling a wide range of car accident claims, including:

Drunk Driving Accidents

Intoxicated driving in which drivers get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or using marijuana or other drugs remains a leading cause of car accidents, often resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Victims of drunk driving accidents require an attorney who will aggressively pursue justice and ensure that the negligent parties are held accountable.

Distracted Driving Accidents

In today's connected world, distracted driving has emerged as a critical concern on the roads. Whether distractions involve texting, using GPS navigation systems, grooming, adjusting controls, or eating and drinking, our attorneys are skilled in proving fault for a collision and ensuring that our clients can receive compensation for their injuries.

Rear-End Collisions

Some of the most common collisions occur when one driver strikes another from the rear. Rear-end accidents are often a result of tailgating or inattention, and they can cause significant injuries, including whiplash. Our team focuses on gathering evidence to establish the liability of the party at fault and ensuring that people who have been struck from the rear receive the necessary financial compensation.

Head-On Collisions

Many of the most dangerous and potentially fatal types of car accidents involve two vehicles traveling in opposite directions. They may occur when drivers travel the wrong way on one-way streets, enter freeway exits, or wander into oncoming traffic due to distractions. Head-on collisions require immediate legal intervention to address the complex liability issues and ensure that victims' rights are protected.

T-Bone Collisions

Common at intersections, T-bone accidents often occur due to failure to yield or running a red light. When the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another vehicle, the collision can cause extensive damage, and a driver or passenger may be seriously injured. Our attorneys are experienced in investigating these accidents to determine fault, and we will work to collect compensation from a negligent driver who struck another vehicle.

Accidents With Uninsured Drivers

Accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers add an extra layer of complexity to personal injury claims. Fortunately, people who suffer injuries in these situations have options for recovering compensation, including through uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage under their own auto insurance policies. We can help car accident victims navigate the intricacies of insurance policies to ensure that they will be properly compensated and will not be left financially vulnerable.

Why Immediate Legal Representation Is Crucial

The moments following a car accident are critical for the eventual outcome of your personal injury claim. Here is why contacting an attorney as soon as possible after an accident is vital:

• Evidence preservation: Immediate legal intervention ensures that crucial evidence is preserved and protected, which is essential for building a strong case.
• Expert testimonies: Our firm has access to a network of experts, including medical professionals and accident reconstructionists, whose testimonies can be pivotal in your case.
• Negotiating with insurance companies: Insurance companies are in the business of minimizing payouts. Our experienced attorneys have the negotiation skills to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
• Statute of limitations: Illinois law limits the time within which you can file a claim. Prompt legal action ensures that your right to compensation is not forfeited.
• Peace of mind: Knowing that your case is in capable hands allows you to focus on recovery, and this can reduce stress and provide peace of mind during a difficult time.
