Illinois Car Crash Attorneys
Insurance issues are at the heart of every car accident case. In order to be successful, a lawyer needs to understand much more than how to prove that a negligent driver caused an accident. In-depth knowledge of insurance coverage is necessary in order to maximize compensation for the victim of a motor vehicle accident.
At the Southern Illinois law firm of Short & Smith, P.C., we bring decades of experience to car accident cases. Our understanding of insurance runs deep, because our lawyers' backgrounds include representing insurance companies on the defense side. We know everything about insurance law that our opponents know, if not more, and we use that knowledge to overcome insurance companies and get accident victims the money they need.
In addition to car accidents, we also handle:
- Trucking accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- ATV accidents
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
What Caused the Car Accident?
Have you or a loved one been injured in a rear-end collision caused by an inattentive driver trying to send text messages while behind the wheel? Did the negligent driver run a stop sign or a stop light? Was the negligent driver speeding or talking on a cell phone? Through careful investigation, we will determine the cause of the accident and take the appropriate action.
Drunk Driving Accidents and Dram Shop Claims
When an accident is caused by a drunk driver, the drunk driver may not be the only party responsible for the collision. If the drunk driver was over-served at a bar or nightclub, we may take action for that establishment's negligence as well. Our lawyers take care to review every possible opportunity to maximize your compensation.
