What should I do if I get in a car accident in Chicago?

If you've been involved in a car accident in Chicago, it's important to remain on the scene until law enforcement shows up and to call for medical assistance if needed. The police will write a report when they arrive, which can be helpful for submitting a claim. Additionally, remember to take note of any useful information, such as pictures of the point of impact, the damaged vehicles, license plate details, street signs, and any eyewitness statements.

Is Chicago an at-fault city for car accidents?

Chicago follows Illinois' at-fault system regarding car accidents. This means that drivers who are responsible for the damages caused in an accident will be held liable for any and all damages that may have occurred. Damages may include medical expenses, injuries, loss of wages, and emotional distress.

What is the average settlement for a car accident in Chicago?

Settlements can vary on a number of factors, making it difficult to provide an average settlement for Chicago car accident cases. While 75% of personal injury cases settle for less than $30,000, some claims run into the millions, depending on the level of damage caused in the accident.

At Mighty Law, our auto accident attorneys will work with you and do all they can to properly value your accident case considering medical bills, vehicle damage, lost income, and other associated expenses.

Who pays for medical bills in a car accident in Chicago?
