Following the right steps after a car accident can help ensure everyone is safe, that laws are followed, and evidence is preserved in case filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit with a car accident lawyer becomes necessary.

Putting Safety First

After an accident, drivers should move the vehicle out of traffic if possible. Calling 911 can ensure injured victims get the medical help they need and the proper police reports are made.

Avoiding speculation when talking to the police helps protect victims’ right to recovery. Victims should avoid admitting fault. Insurance companies often take statements from accident reports and twist them to minimize or deny claims.

While our practice concentrates on plaintiff’s personal injury claims, we will take selective construction litigation referrals. Chuck Adler has extensive experience in litigating construction claims. Claims have included: United Center, Rush Medical Center, numerous office buildings, shopping centers, and industrial centers including the former W.F. Hall printing plant, a 1,000,000 square-foot property where the Playboy Magazine was published.
