Written by Christopher Gutierrez, Esq.

Personal Injury Attorney · Licensed in Illinois & Arizona

Car accidents happen in an instant. One moment you're driving to work or picking up your kids. The next, you're dealing with injuries, vehicle damage, missed work, and an insurance adjuster who's been trained to minimize your claim.

I've represented hundreds of car accident victims across Illinois and Arizona. I know how insurance companies operate, and I know how to fight back.

If you've been in a car accident that wasn't your fault, you deserve compensation for your injuries, your lost wages, and your pain. Let me show you how to get it.

Case Types

Types of Cases I Handle

Rear-End Collisions

The most common type of car accident. Even low-speed rear-end crashes can cause serious neck and back injuries, including whiplash that doesn't show up on X-rays but affects you for months or years.

T-Bone (Side-Impact) Accidents

When another driver runs a red light or stop sign, the results can be devastating. Side-impact crashes often cause serious injuries because there's less protection between you and the other vehicle.

Hit and Run Accidents

If the other driver fled the scene, you still have options. Your own uninsured motorist coverage may apply, and I can work with police to help identify the responsible driver.

Intersection Accidents

Disputed liability is common at intersections. "They had a red light." "No, you did." I gather traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction evidence to prove who was at fault.

Distracted Driving Accidents

Texting, eating, adjusting GPS—distracted drivers cause thousands of accidents every year. Phone records and other evidence can prove the other driver wasn't paying attention.

Drunk Driving Accidents

When a drunk driver injures you, they may face criminal charges. But that doesn't automatically get you compensated. I handle the civil case to make sure you recover what you're owed.

Take Action

What to Do After Your Accident

The steps you take after an accident can make or break your case.

1

Call 911 and Get Medical Help

Your health comes first. Even if you feel okay, some injuries don't show symptoms immediately. Get checked out, and always get a police report.

2

Document Everything

Take photos of the vehicles, the scene, your injuries. Get contact info from witnesses. Write down what happened while it's fresh in your memory.

3

Don't Talk to Their Insurance

The other driver's insurance company is not on your side. Anything you say can be used to minimize your claim. Let me handle those conversations.

4

Call Me Before Accepting Any Offer

Insurance companies often make quick, lowball offers hoping you'll settle before you know what your case is worth. Once you accept, you can't get more.
