Chicago consistently ranks among the most dangerous cities for pedestrians in the U.S. Distracted drivers, failure to yield at crosswalks, speeding, and drunk driving claim the lives and health of hundreds of pedestrians every year across Cook County. If you were struck by a vehicle while walking, crossing the street, or in a parking lot, Illinois law entitles you to full compensation for your injuries โ regardless of where the accident occurred.
Despite the clear vulnerability of pedestrians, insurance companies often attempt to blame the victim โ claiming they jaywalked, were distracted, or stepped out unexpectedly. Our Chicago pedestrian accident attorneys are experienced in countering these tactics, gathering crosswalk camera footage, accident reconstruction evidence, and witness testimony to establish that the driver was at fault.
