Settlement for Intersection Motor Vehicle Crash

On July 12, 2022, our clients, a 41-year-old male and his 52-year-old wife, were enjoying time with family that had travelled from out of the country – specifically the wife’s sister and her husband, both 65 years old. As they were driving in the City of Chicago near Kedzie and 31st Street, another vehicle made a left turn in front of them. The vehicle turned from the far-right shoulder, cutting off traffic before it struck our client’s vehicle that had a green light as it traveled through the intersection. Our client did not see the at-fault vehicle since it suddenly crossed two lanes of traffic from the shoulder before making the improper turn. The collision caused our clients’ vehicle to veer to its right and onto the sidewalk. The three passengers in our clients’ vehicle were transported by ambulance to the emergency room. The driver went to the hospital later in the day. All four occupants endured months of doctor visits, therapy visits, scans for injuries to various areas of their bodies, including head, neck, back, shoulders, and knees. The front passenger also sustained lacerations from the air bag being activated. At first, the at-faut driver’s insurance company attempted to avoid liability. But with the use of nearby city cameras, the auto accident attorneys at Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers were able to prove that it was the insurance company’s driver that caused the accident and injuries to our clients. Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers was then able to negotiate a global settlement for all four family members.
