You’re driving through Naperville, Aurora, or Bolingbrook, Illinois, near Chicago. A drunk driver runs a red light and slams into your vehicle at high speed. You aren’t sure how you’re injured, but your arms, legs, and chest hurt terribly.

Don’t worry.
The Illinois drunk driving attorneys in TopDog Law’s legal network understand the pain and uncertainty that can overwhelm you after a drunk driving crash.
When a drunk driver injures you in Illinois, you may recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. TopDog Law can connect you to an experienced drunk driving accident lawyer in your area who will fight for the most compensation for your losses anywhere in Illinois.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Personal injury cases can be worth almost any amount. Some personal injury claims with minor injuries might be worth a few thousand dollars. Severe and catastrophic injury cases can be worth six or even seven figures. Every case and injury is unique, so always have an Illinois personal injury attorney review your case promptly.
Drunk driving cases are unique because there is usually conclusive evidence that the driver was negligent and caused your injuries. The police probably cited the driver for drunk driving, and most insurance companies are less likely to argue fault with this type of damning evidence. Your case might be worth more because the at-fault driver was intoxicated.
Also critical to the value of your case is the severity of your injuries. If you have a sprained neck and back and can’t work for a month, the case can be worth less than if you shatter your pelvis and can’t walk for a year. Drunk driving accident injuries that require surgery or extended hospital stays are often worth more. If your injuries negatively affect your life for months or years, the case value also rises.
Your attorney will review the case and look for any insurance policy to compensate you. If the driver has considerable assets, your attorney may also recommend filing a lawsuit to recover additional damages.
Drunk driving accidents are declining in Illinois, but they still happen far too often.Â
Recent government data shows that the following Illinois counties have the highest number of drunk driving arrests:Â
If a drunk driver injured you or a loved one in one of these Illinois counties, you shouldn’t suffer in silence. You also should not pay out of pocket for your medical bills, lost income, and mental and physical pain and suffering. TopDog Law maintains a network of experienced Illinois drunk driving accident lawyers who will fight for your rights today.
Drunk driving is a common problem in Illinois, with about 2.4 alcohol-impaired fatalities per 100,000 people in recent years. If a drunk driver injures you, it is important to know that Illinois is an at-fault state. This means the other driver may be liable for your injuries and other damages if they are found at fault.
Illinoisans injured by drunk drivers are often seriously hurt because intoxicated drivers are especially reckless and may speed, run red lights and stop signs, and even drive the wrong way on highways and interstates.
Some of the most common drunk driving injuries are:
Your car accident attorney will review your medical records and determine the compensation you can be entitled to. They will also speak to your doctor and other medical professionals to understand your future medical care needs.
One of the most critical jobs of your attorney is to fight the insurance company and stand up for your rights. Auto insurance companies aim to pay you as little as possible or deny your claim.
They don’t care how injured you are; if they can blame you for the accident, they will. They also will try to get you to take a small settlement so they can close the case. They know that juries frown upon drunk drivers, and if the case goes to court, the insurance company might pay much more.
However, the drunk driving lawyers in TopDog Law’s network won’t let the insurance company stick it to you. Our network attorneys are skilled, tenacious, and fearless. They will never back down when up against a stingy insurance company trying to short-change you.
They will fight for the most money in your settlement. They are prepared to take your case to trial and win if negotiations fail.
We assume after your Illinois drunk driving accident, you called the police and 911 for medical attention.
These are critical first steps, but you can improve your case when you:Â
