Chicago Personal Injury Lawyer Blog
Chicago pedestrian accident lawyers from David Abels & Associates, P.C. have reached an insurance policy limits settlement in an uninsured motorist claim for one of our clients. The accident happened in May of 2006 when the plaintiff was hit by a Cadillac on the South Side of Chicago at 1908 W. 74th Street just after he exited a CTA bus.
The plaintiff was taken to Holy Cross Hospital with a pelvic fracture. He stayed at the hospital for over a week and was then transferred to a rehab facility for several weeks. He incurred over $50,000 in medical bills.
The at fault driver did not have insurance for the Cadillac so we pursued an uninsured motorist claim on our client’s own auto insurance policy. The insurance carrier tendered the limits of the insurance policy on the claim.
