Over ten million motor vehicles are registered in Illinois, and roughly three quarters of them are passenger cars.  A car accident is therefore one of the most common ways that someone can be injured.  In 2008 alone, over 95,000 people were injured or killed in vehicular crashes in Illinois.  If you find yourself in this unfortunate predicament, knowing your legal rights is important.  The automobile accident attorneys at GWC are here to help.

Many automobile crashes happen when a driver is inattentive, under the influence of alcohol, speeding, or otherwise disobeying the rules of the road.  Sometimes, collisions occur as a result of hazardous road conditions, faulty traffic lights, or an automobile’s manufacturing or design defects.  In any of these scenarios, car accidents can result in serious injuries that require long-term medical care.  If you were injured in an automobile accident for which someone else was at fault, you are entitled to compensation for your damages, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.  At GWC, we know the ins and outs of the Illinois Vehicle Code and have successfully resolved a significant number of automobile accident claims.  We will put the law to work for you.
