Auto Accidents

Crystal Lake, Illinois, Auto Accident Lawyer

Auto accidents are the most common cause of serious injury and wrongful death in Illinois. If you were injured in a car wreck, truck collision, or motorcycle accident along U.S. Route 14, I-90, Randall Road, or any other roadway in McHenry, Lake or Kane County, you may be able to seek financial compensation for your injuries with a personal injury lawsuit.

Contact our office to speak with a personal injury attorney about your case. Your initial consultation is free and you will pay not attorneys fees unless we make a financial recovery for you.

When Courtroom Experience Counts

Skilled personal injury attorney Henry Sugden has been practicing law since 1975. He has built a history of successful personal injury cases, recovering substantial damages for injured people. Experienced and responsive to the needs of clients, Mr. Sugden is dedicated to getting clients the results they need and deserve.

We access expert medical resources to gain an understanding of your current medical condition and the impact of your injuries. We investigate your car accident, motorcycle crash, pedestrian accident, or commercial trucking accident to understand the circumstances that caused your injuries and to learn about additional causes, such as:

• Auto accidents caused by a defectively designed auto
• Car accidents caused by defective products, such as defective tires
• Injuries made more severe by defective air bags or defective seat belts
• Accidents caused by drunk drivers, in which the bar that served the alcohol may be held partly responsible.

Should I settle with the insurance company?

Insurance companies will sometimes pressure or encourage injured people not to get a lawyer, suggesting that the matter can be handled more efficiently if the injured person does not have legal representation.

You may compromise your case and get less money than you deserve if you settle the matter too quickly and release the other party and insurance company from liability. Let an experienced Illinois car accident lawyer at Madsen Sugden & Gottemoller handle your claim for you and protect your current and future interests.

You should not have to suffer because of someone else's negligence or bad judgment. Contact a lawyer at Madsen, Sugden & Gottemoller today.
