Personal Injury Lawsuits
When one of our beloved Cubbies gets hit by a pitch, they wince in pain and hobble down the line. The fans in the Friendly Confines boo the pitcher and gasp at the replay. We are relieved when we find out the batter is okay because we know if we took a similar hit we would be in serious trouble.
Although more than a few of us wish we had made it to the Big Leagues, it is a relief that most of us have jobs and hobbies that do not involve the risk of serious bodily injury. Unfortunately, that does not mean that we all live accident-free lives.
When a Buffalo Grove resident is injured through no fault of their own, they know they can turn to the Stein & Shulman team for help. Our experienced personal injury attorneys aggressively advocate for the compensation our clients need in order to fully recover from their injuries.
While our clients concentrate on recovering from their injures, we get to work:
- Investigating and photographing the site of the accident;
- Interviewing any and all witnesses;
- Gathering information about the negligent party’s actions;
- Examining police reports and medical data; and
- Consulting with medical specialists or other experts to validate our findings.
We also become the point person for all of our client’s interactions with their insurance company. These companies like to pretend like their policyholders can trust them to do the right thing and pay up when an accident occurs, but the truth is they often have to be pushed hard in order to open their wallets.
Three of the most common types of personal injury accidents we see in Lake County and Buffalo Grove are automobile accidents, slip and fall accidents, and dog bites. In some of the most serious cases, these injuries can result in wrongful death as well.
Automobile Accidents
Many Buffalo Grove residents travel into Chicago on a daily basis. Some are able to take a Metra train or bus to work, but many people rely on automobiles to get them to and from their office.
The heavy weekday traffic, the mass exodus of Chicagoans to second homes and resorts in Buffalo Grove, and our cheese-loving neighbor to the North on nice weekends means the local roads are always jam-packed. This congestion causes a lot of car accidents. Distracted drivers and near-constant road construction don’t help.
When an accident occurs, the Stein & Shulman team is ready to lend a hand. We help our clients deal with the other driver or drivers involved in the accident, and negotiate with all the insurance companies, so our clients can focus on healing. We make sure our clients don’t get pushed around or low-balled so they get the compensation they need to fully recover and get on with their lives.
If you have unfortunately lost a loved one in a wrongful death during a Buffalo Grove automobile accident, contact Stein & Shulman immediately. Although no money can bring back the life of your loved one, holding the right parties accountable is important in order to move on.
Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and Fall accidents are quite common in Buffalo Grove. Buffalo Grove has a very active population that likes to get out of the house to shop, participate in leisure activities, or simply visit with friends and family members. When someone slips and falls outside of their home, and they need money to help pay the resulting medical bills, our team is ready to assist.
We manage the request for compensation in slip and fall cases on behalf of our clients so they can focus their attention on recovering from their injury. Using us as a go-between can also ease tensions, and allow our clients to preserve the personal relationship they have with the owner of the property where they were hurt. It is important to remember in these cases that compensation typically comes from the property owner’s insurance company, which is why the property owner has insurance in the first place.
Dog Bites
Residents of Buffalo Grove treat their dogs like members of the family. Unfortunately, even the most mild-mannered dog may one day attack. When this happens, the Stein & Shulman team can step in and make sure the case is handled appropriately.
Our team can work with the pet owner, other attorneys, and all the insurance companies involved to sort things out and get our Buffalo Grove clients the compensation they deserve for the injury they have suffered. If you are a resident of Buffalo Grove who has suffered a dog bit injury, contact us today.
