That’s where we come in.

It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
After a car accident, you want to pursue justice. But you likely also need to recover financial damages that can alleviate the financial stress you’re experiencing due to the accident.
More specifically, you may recover compensation because of a personal injury claim in Chicago, including:
In some cases, you may pursue punitive damages, which punish the liable party for reckless or negligent behavior. Talk to your lawyer about your options and the damages you may recover.
The compensation in a car accident claim can vary greatly, mainly because of a few important factors. For example, the severity and permanence of your injuries significantly affect the damages you can receive. Other considerations include the accident’s impact on your quality of life, the level of the defendant’s negligence, and your age and earning capacity.
Of course, the skills and adeptness of your lawyer can also impact your compensation after the claim. Understanding the nuances of car accident compensation helps to set realistic expectations.
At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we connect injured people with local personal injury attorneys who work diligently to secure maximum compensation for their clients and allow them to move forward from their accidents.
In a recent year, the city of Chicago reported more than 108,000 car accidents with at least some involvement by the authorities. That’s an average of 295 accidents every day and five accidents every hour. Of those accidents, 31,000 resulted in either an injury or vehicle damage that required towing. That means more than 30,000 drivers and other involved parties in Chicago could have benefited from an experienced car accident lawyer.
As in other cities, car accidents in Chicago happen most commonly on major roads and intersections. Across the United States, about half of all traffic accidents happen at intersections, and Chicago is no exception.
More specifically, the top intersections for vehicle crashes in Chicago include:
Of course, driving in a city with as much traffic as Chicago always carries the risk of being in a car accident. Knowing who to talk to and where to seek legal representation can go a long way toward getting justice.
Car accidents happen for a multitude of reasons. Identifying the main cause of the accident is vital to the outcome of any accident and personal injury claim.
Some causes are natural, such as unfavorable weather conditions. Others are due to human causes, including negligent driving or unsafe road conditions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that drivers are responsible for 94 percent of accidents, with vehicles, the environment, and other causes accounting for the remaining six percent.
Driver-related reasons, in turn, include:
Each of these causes may entail different evidence you need to gather and different ways the lawsuit could develop. That’s before we even consider vehicle-caused accidents, such as a malfunction, that may have led to your crash. Your attorney can identify the cause and gather the necessary evidence to prove the culprit and recover damages.
Car accidents can cause injuries of almost any type and severity.
Some of the most common types include:
Each of these injuries carries different challenges and complexities regarding a legal claim. Keep the correct documentation and work with a car accident lawyer in Chicago to take the right steps to maximize your chances of a successful claim.
In a car accident, determining liability can be complex. It’s also one of the most important steps to take in any car accident claim.
Depending on the circumstances, liable parties can include:
Reach out to TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers to gain access to a network of attorneys who can analyze all details surrounding the accident. We can connect you with a local attorney who can identify all potential parties at fault and ensure they are accountable for their actions.
Understanding your legal rights after a car accident is essential. Having an experienced lawyer by your side can make all the difference in navigating these challenging matters.
Car accident laws can be complex and vary greatly from other areas of personal injury law. From jurisdiction to liability to the types of injury, many factors determine the evidence you need and how the case develops over time.
Hiring a lawyer who focuses on car accidents can significantly impact the outcome of your case. The right lawyer can bring in-depth knowledge of the intricacies involved, effectively navigating the legal landscape to protect your rights and offer the best possible chance for just compensation.
Filing a car accident claim typically means working against the liable party’s insurance company. The firm has a tangible stake in minimizing its responsibility to avoid major payouts to victims like yourself. It also has considerable resources devoted to minimizing its loss, which makes it crucial for you to partner with a law firm experienced in fighting insurance companies.
When you partner with an attorney from TopDog Law’s legal network, you no longer have to worry about dealing with an insurance company. Your lawyer will handle every interaction with the insurers on your behalf, allowing you to focus on your recovery as they work to get you the maximum possible compensation.
Because of the complexity of car accidents and their aftermaths, one of the most important things you should do is keep all documentation and other evidence relating to the accident and record the steps you took afterward. Consider writing about your experience and recovery in a journal to avoid relying on a fading memory.
You can obtain a traffic crash report from the city of Chicago for a $6 fee, which helps you—and your lawyer—understand the facts of the case from the law enforcement perspective.
Beyond keeping your documentation, look for legal representation as quickly as possible, especially if you’ve suffered injuries. With each passing day, vital evidence can become harder to gather, and legal timelines can close. Consulting with a lawyer immediately after the accident means they can gather evidence and work with any witnesses and insurance agents on your behalf. Seeking legal advice can also protect your rights and ensure you have the best chance possible to receive full compensation.
When you contact TopDog Law, we’ll evaluate your case during a free consultation. If you have a valid claim, we can then connect you with an attorney in Chicago to discuss your case further and explain your legal rights and options. You decide whether you want to work with the attorney without any financial obligation.
Your lawyer then begins an in-depth case evaluation and an intensive investigation to establish liability. They gather the evidence, witness statements, and expert testimonies needed to build a strong case and aggressively negotiate for a fair settlement.
Your lawyer is ready and equipped to take the case to trial if negotiations don’t yield a satisfactory result. They can do the hard work and allow you to focus on your recovery as they fight for justice on your behalf.
