Calumet City Car Accident Attorney
Calumet City sits on the Illinois-Indiana border and sees heavy traffic from shoppers and commuters. River Oaks Drive (159th Street) and the River Oaks Center create congestion daily. The Torrence Avenue intersection has a bad history of red-light violations. Drivers exiting the Bishop Ford (I-94) must slow down fast. At Flanagan Injury Law Group, LLC, attorney L. Michael Flanagan fights for victims hurt in these busy zones.
Where Calumet City Crashes Happen Most
Michael, an experienced Calumet City car accident attorney, handles common types of car crashes in several dangerous areas. These include:
- The 159th Street and Torrence Avenue intersection, where red-light violations cause T-bone crashes
- River Oaks Center, where distracted driving and rear-end collisions happen in packed parking lots
- Bishop Ford (I-94) exits, where speeding and aggressive driving lead to sideswipe accidents and head-on collisions
Drunk driving or drugged driving crashes also occur here. Driver fatigue or inexperience adds to the risk. Flanagan, a trusted car accident lawyer in Calumet City, takes on intersection accidents, rollover accidents and hit-and-run crashes regularly.
Handling Cross-Border Cases
Many crashes involve out-of-state drivers from Northwest Indiana. Michael uses the Illinois long-arm statute rules to pursue out-of-state defendants. This cross-border knowledge helps with insurance claim negotiations.
The attorney uses red-light camera evidence at 159th and Torrence to prove fault in disputed collisions. He takes on the task of dealing with insurance adjusters who deny claims. A Calumet City car crash lawyer at the firm also handles uninsured/underinsured motorist claims.
What Damages Can You Recover After A Car Accident?
Victims can recover medical expenses after a car accident. They can also seek damages for lost wages and lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering compensation. Attorney Flanagan is no stranger to clients dealing with whiplash and soft tissue injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injuries and other serious injuries from car wrecks.
