Hyde Park Car Accident Attorney

South Side drivers face real dangers every day. At Flanagan Injury Law Group, LLC, located at , attorney L. Michael Flanagan brings home court advantage to Hyde Park crash victims. Born and raised in South Shore, Michael knows these streets and the local court system.

Where Hyde Park Accidents Happen Most

Hyde Park residents and University of Chicago community members navigate several high-risk areas:

• Stony Island Avenue ranks as one of Chicago’s most dangerous roads, especially at the 79th and 95th Street crossings that many Hyde Parkers use
• DuSable Lake Shore Drive causes high-speed rear-end collision injuries and merging crashes at the 53rd and 57th Street entrances
• The 55th Street corridor near UChicago Main Quad mixes cars, bikes and walkers in tight spaces

Distracted driving accidents and hit-and-run accidents happen often in these busy zones.

Local Knowledge Makes A Difference

Michael serves on the Cook County Bar Association board. This South Side connection helps when filing a car accident claim in Chicago. A Hyde Park car accident attorney at the firm knows how to work with City of Chicago Blue Light Camera footage and UCPD (University of Chicago Police Department) private accident reports.

The attorney handles insurance claim disputes and takes on the task of negotiating with insurance adjusters who try to pay less than victims deserve.

Getting Money After Your Crash

A personal injury claim can cover medical bills after a car accident, lost wages compensation, and pain and suffering damages. Common injuries include whiplash injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injuries. Illinois follows modified comparative negligence rules, which means victims can still recover money even when partly at fault.

Can I Recover Compensation If I Was Partially At Fault?

Yes. Under Illinois law, you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your award gets reduced by your percentage of blame. A Hyde Park car accident attorney can explain how this applies to your case.
