What to Do After a Car Accident

After a crash, things can be confusing. Here’s what the firm recommends:

1. Call 911 and get medical help if needed.

3. Get the other driver’s info, but don’t argue.

Many people settle too early or don’t realize they could get more. This firm helps you make informed choices right from the start.

Legal Help for Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders face more danger on the road than drivers in cars. A small hit can cause major injuries. And sadly, insurance companies sometimes blame the rider—even when it wasn’t their fault.

Abels & Annes represent riders who have:

• Been struck by cars turning left

• Had drivers cut them off or pull out too fast

• Slid due to dangerous road conditions

• Been hit by distracted drivers

They understand how motorcycle accidents happen and know how to push back when insurance companies try to blame the rider unfairly.

Truck Accident Representation in Illinois

Getting hit by a semi-truck or delivery vehicle is different from a normal crash. The injuries are usually worse, and the legal stuff is more complicated. There might be several companies involved—not just the driver, but the trucking company, the maintenance crew, and the insurance providers.

Abels & Annes help with truck crashes involving:

• 18-wheelers

• Amazon and UPS vans

• Construction vehicles

• Box trucks and delivery fleets

They investigate everything—from driver logs to maintenance records—to build a strong case and fight for full compensation.

Slip and Fall Cases in Public Places

Slipping in a store, tripping on a sidewalk, or falling down broken stairs can all lead to serious injuries. These cases are called "premises liability" claims, and they’re more common than most people think.

This firm helps people who slipped because of:

• Wet floors with no sign

• Icy sidewalks in front of businesses

• Loose carpets or tiles

• Broken stairs or missing railings

• Bad lighting in stairwells or parking lots

They collect photos, witness statements, and maintenance records to prove the property owner was careless—and make sure the injured person isn’t left with the bill.

Work Injury and Workers’ Compensation Help

If you’re hurt at work, you’re supposed to be covered by workers’ compensation. But that doesn’t always go smoothly. Some employers push back, or insurance tries to end your benefits early.

Abels & Annes help workers with:

• Construction site accidents

• Slip and fall injuries at work

• Repetitive strain injuries (like back or wrist problems)

• Equipment malfunctions

• Falls from ladders or scaffolding

They’ll help you file a claim, appeal a denial, and make sure you get the full amount you’re owed.

Bicycle Accident Representation in the City

Chicago has bike lanes and biking programs, but accidents still happen every day. Cyclists often get hit by drivers who aren’t paying attention—or don’t understand bike laws.

This firm helps cyclists who were injured due to:

• Cars swerving into bike lanes

• Doorings (when someone opens a car door suddenly)

• Drivers making sudden turns without checking

• Unsafe road conditions or poor signage

They also help recover money for damaged bikes, lost income, and physical therapy.

Pedestrian Accident Cases in Busy Areas

Walking across the street should be safe. But drivers in a rush often don’t stop or even notice pedestrians. These accidents are especially dangerous.

Abels & Annes handle pedestrian injury cases involving:

• Crosswalk injuries

• School zone crashes

• Drivers ignoring walk signals

• Bus and truck collisions in urban areas

They gather camera footage, police reports, and medical records to hold reckless drivers responsible.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Families trust nursing homes to care for loved ones, but sometimes that trust is broken. Elder abuse and neglect are more common than many people realize.

This firm helps when residents suffer from:

• Bedsores or untreated infections

• Broken bones from preventable falls

• Malnutrition or dehydration

• Overmedication or lack of medication

• Emotional abuse or isolation

They take action against negligent nursing homes and fight for justice on behalf of victims and their families.

Wrongful Death Representation

Losing a loved one because someone else was careless is heartbreaking. While no amount of money can bring someone back, a wrongful death case can ease the financial burden and hold the right people accountable.

Abels & Annes work with families who lost someone due to:

• Fatal car or truck crashes

• Medical mistakes

• Unsafe working conditions

• Nursing home neglect

• Dangerous property conditions

They handle every case with compassion and care.

Dog Bite and Animal Attack Claims

Dog bites can leave physical scars and emotional trauma. Children are especially vulnerable. In Illinois, pet owners are usually held responsible when their dog attacks someone.

This firm helps bite victims get payment for:

• Emergency care and surgeries

• Pain and scarring

• Emotional distress

• Missed work or school

They also help if the owner tries to deny responsibility or blame the victim.
