The lawyers of Meyer and Blumenshine represent pedestrians who have suffered serious personal injuries or loved ones who have lost a family member due to being struck by a motorist in Chicago or elsewhere in Illinois. Car and truck drivers often ignore or drive carelessly in the presence of pedestrians. Pedestrians have rights to cross roadways and travel in crosswalks. The failure of a motorist to observe and yield to pedestrians can lead to distastrous consequences. Pedestrians, because their entire bodies are exposed at impact are especially vulnerable to serious injuries in a vehicle collision.

Injuries suffered as a result of vehicle versus pedestrian collisions, often occurring in big cities such as Chicago, Illinois, can be severe and life altering.  You may have injuries to your head, neck, back, arms, hips, legs, hands or feet.  The lawyers at Meyer and Blumenshine understand that an initial goal after such trauma is to recover physically and emotionally. However, you will need to consider financial issues such as payment of medical bills, recovery lost wages, and recovery of compensation to pay for future treatment. Additionally, you may be entitled under the law recover for non-financial damages including pain, disability and disfigurement. Our experienced attorneys will listen to you, review your legal options, and  work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure all your needs are handled quickly and appropriately.
