On May 15, 2014, a 30-year-old man was rear-ended by a driver when he was heading westbound on I-290 in Chicago. He received a $500.00 check in the mail along with a settlement offer from the other driver’s insurance company. Thinking that seemed low for covering his injuries, he called Chicago personal injury firm Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. to see if he should cash the settlement draft.

The man told us he continued to have back and neck pain following the accident. We advised him not to accept the offer and to seek immediate medical attention. He became our client, and after receiving medical diagnosis we learned that he had a herniated disc in his neck as a result of the collision. This injury made him a candidate for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery at C4-C5. We were able to secure a settlement for 100 times the original offer to the client at the maximum amount of the negligent driver’s insurance policy, and we were able to accomplish this prior to going to court and trial.

A 52-year-old man was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck head on by a senior citizen who lost control of her vehicle and crossed the center line. The accident occurred on Route 59 near the intersection of Golfview Drive in North Barrington, Illinois. This head-on accident left the man with a complex right femur fracture involving multiple fragments of the bone shaft, a right ring finger fracture, a laceration across his lower right leg requiring 10 sutures, and a laceration on the left side of his forehead requiring seven (7) sutures. Between the pain and the medical bills, the man wasn’t sure what to do. He contacted Jared Staver, a auto accident lawyer in Chicago, to see how he could help. Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. negotiated a settlement prior to trial in the amount of $896,695.02.

This spring, a 55-year-old woman was driving along when an out-of-control vehicle speeding T-boned her vehicle at the intersection of South New England Avenue and West 87th Street in the City of Worth, Illinois. This side-impact car crash left her with severe injuries, including a fractured neck that required a medical halo. Because of this car accident, she was unable to work and left with sizable medical bills. She hired Chicago personal injury lawyer Jared Staver to handle her case because of his experience working throughout Chicagoland and the State of Illinois. Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. was able to secure a settlement for the woman, amounting to $120,000 – the combined limits of the other driver’s insurance policies. Though the client is still healing and recovering from the trauma and injuries she suffered, she does not have to worry about paying her medical treatment.

Recently, a salesman in his early 40s was hurt in a car crash on I-55 near Chicago. He sustained soft tissue injuries to his back and neck because of the accident. Because the auto accident was a relatively minor impact, the man delayed on getting the treatment he needed. But soon the persisting pain led him to seek out a chiropractor for his injuries. The man ended up accumulating roughly $11,000 in medical bills for chiropractic treatments. These sizable bills became burdensome and he sought out Tyler Kobylski, a Chicago personal injury lawyer with Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C., to handle his case.

The driver whose negligence caused the accident possessed auto insurance, and prior to trial the insurance company offered $1,000 to settle. Tyler advised the client to turn down the offer since it would barely cover any of the medical bills he had accumulated because of the accident. We took the claim to trial, and in the end the jury came back with a roughly $11,000 verdict – a very good result for our client. The verdict amounted to 11 times the amount that insurance company initially wanted to offer. Our client was extremely happy with the outcome of the case because it covered the medical expenses he had accrued.

We recently helped a 38-year-old man who was hurt in a Chicago car accident. Waiting for the light to change at 179th and LaGrange in Tinley Park, he was rear-ended and sustained severe spinal injuries. Upon going to the doctor, he was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his cervical spine, which would require future fusion surgery to treat and repair the disc. A costly procedure, the man wondered how he was going to manage time away from work, paying for surgery, and ongoing medical expenses while recovering from the pain and trauma of the accident. He hired Chicago personal injury lawyer Jared Staver to handle his auto accident case. Before the trial, the insurance company for the driver whose negligence caused the accident offered to settle the case for $110,000. Since this amount would not sufficiently cover the damages the client suffered, Jared rejected the offer and worked to bring this case to trial. He achieved a policy award that exceeded the other driver’s insurance policy limit of $250,000. This happened because Jared collected directly against the insurance company for failing to settle the case before trial within their policy limits. The client was ultimately awarded $391,424.16 for the pain and suffering he experienced because of the rear-end accident.

A 29-year-old male was riding his bicycle in Chicago when he was struck by a Jeep. He sustained a fractured clavicle, which failed to heal correctly resulting in a protrusion of his bone. Case settled before trial for $100,000.00.
