There are approximately 5000 pedestrian fatalities in traffic accidents each year.  In 2006, 138 pedestrians were killed in Illinois.  The firm of Zneimer & Zneimer represents individuals who have sustained personal injuries or who may be related to a pedestrian killed in a traffic accident as a result of the recklessness or negligence conduct of another individual.  Our firm represents clients in every county in Illinois, including Cook County, Kane County, DuPage County, Will County, Madison County and all other counties in the state.

Injuries as a result of such accidents have the potential to be so severe that they represent life changing events. You may have injuries to your brain or neck, sustained permanent nerve damage or spinal chord paralysis, dislocated or received a compound fracture or break of a bone or limb, or, in some cases, have to have a limb amputated.  Studies show that a pedestrian sustains substantially greater injury if the vehicle that hits the person is a minivan, SUV, or pickup.  

The lawyers at Zneimer & Zneimer understand that your immediate concerns after having survived such a traumatic event are to make sure that all medical bills are covered and to minimize the financial impact of lost wages, and to ensure that both immediate and, if need be, longer term medical expenses are covered by the insurance company or companies.  The experienced attorneys at the offices of Zneimer & Zneimer will discuss the details of your case and review with you any decisions you would have to make so that you can make informed decisions.  Our firm will also be in close contact with all insurance companies and other parties affected to ensure that your needs are met in the most appropriate manner possible.
