Drunk drivers destroy the lives of hundreds of people in Illinois every year, causing catastrophic injuries and death that their victims and the family members of victims never recover from.
If you were injured by a drunk driver or lost a loved one in a DWI accident in Illinois, Cogan & McNabola, P.C., Attorneys at Law, is the Chicago personal injury law firm you want on your side. Since 1992, our trial lawyers have helped victims of other drivers' negligence and illegal actions recover significant money damages in settlements and verdicts. By working with many of the region's leading independent experts, we are able to thoroughly investigate the full extent of liability for damages and the maximum compensation you are entitled to for a lifetime of injustice and loss.
You May Be Entitled to Seek Significant Punitive Damages · Contingency Fees
Illinois law permits victims of drunk drivers to seek additional punitive damages, in the event of gross negligence. Don't accept the opposing insurance company's settlement offer until you have talked to us about the full extent of financial compensation you may be entitled to. Our case results include many car accident verdicts in the millions of dollars. During a free consultation, we will explain the legal process and how our contingency fee plan works. Your attorneys' fees will be based on a percentage of the money we help you recover in a settlement or jury award.
