Car Accidents

Every day, people are injured or killed in car crashes.  In 2006, there were over 30,000 fatalities nationwide in either passenger car or light truck crashes.  Although car crashes are often referred to as car "accidents," a crash is usually the result of a driver's carelessness.

The legal term for carelessness is "negligence."  The law provides that a person is responsible for damages caused by their negligence.

The lawyers at Meyer and Blumenshine have represented thousands of people throughout Illinois and especially the Chicago area who have suffered severe personal injuries in automobile, motorcycle or truck accidents. Motor vehicle usage continues to increase on our roadways. Collisions causing injuries are inevitable. We handle injury cases arising from motor vehicle collisions involving drunk drivers, hit and run drivers, uninsured drivers or underinsured drivers, as well as accidents occurring from  collisions  involving SUV (sports utility vehicles),  delivery trucks, construction trucks and semi-tractor trailers.

The experienced attorneys at Meyer and Blumenshine represent people who have been injured in car collisions or crashes that result from defective design, manufacture or installation of faulty component parts. Proof in product liability cases is very difficult and you must be careful to select a firm knowledgeable with the prosecution of product liability cases. Our lawyers are familiar with the best ways in which to prove product liability cases, whether the incident occurred in Chicago, Illinois or elsewhere in the state.  We have worked and consulted with top engineers and experts who can both determine a product’s specific defects and educate a jury as to how a specific product is defective.
