Supporting Crash Victims Across Cook County
Supporting Crash Victims Across Cook County
Cook County spans more than 130 municipalities and carries some of the highest traffic volumes in Illinois. The Kennedy Expressway, Edens Expressway, Tri-State Tollway, Bishop Ford Freeway, and the Dan Ryan corridor see thousands of accidents every year, from rear-end crashes in stop-and-go rush hour traffic to high-speed collisions at interchange ramps. Surface streets in Chicago's neighborhoods, including major corridors like Western Avenue, Cicero Avenue, and Harlem Avenue, are also among the most crash-prone in the state.
Attorney Al Salvi and the litigation team at Salvi & Maher have helped car accident victims in Cook County for decades, handling cases that range from straightforward two-car collisions to complex multi-vehicle crashes involving serious injuries and wrongful death. Our Chicago office at 53 W. Jackson Blvd. puts us close to the Richard J. Daley Center courthouse, where many Cook County civil cases are litigated, and we know the judges, procedures, and insurance defense tactics that come with this jurisdiction.
