Chicago Car Accident Lawyer

Illinois Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Serious auto accidents commonly cause more than physical pain and monetary loss to the victim. Often, families are essentially destroyed as their former lives are nearly impossible to regain after catastrophic traffic accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, contact me, Chicago car accident lawyer Valerie Leopold to schedule a free consultation.

Investigating Car Crashes and Motorcycle Accidents

The strongest cases are developed through a detailed, in-depth investigation immediately after the accident. The longer you wait, the greater the chance that the information you need to prove your case will be unavailable, such as:

• Evidence of conditions at the time of the car crash may literally be washed away with the next rain, snowfall, or street cleaning.
• Shrubbery that blocked the view of street signs may be trimmed before being documented in preparation against a municipality or property owner.
• Witnesses may become difficult or impossible to track down for statements.
• Full documentation of injuries (including photos showing the full extent of the injuries before treatment) may be lacking if too much time goes by.

Often, events after a catastrophic or fatal auto or motorcycle accident are overwhelming to victims and their families. Police reports and investigations, insurance adjustor interviews and medical decisions come in rapid succession at a time of shock.

Car and motorcycle accidents need to be investigated quickly and thoroughly from the beginning. We will obtain all necessary evidence, photographs, medical records and bills in order to make a prompt demand. When reputable insurance is available we have been able to resolve cases in months not years.
