Two Men Struck by an SUV in Calumet Heights Neighborhood

An unfortunate and unexpected accident occurred in the Calumet Heights neighborhood involving two pedestrians who were struck by an SUV. When such accidents occur, the first and most important step to take is to seek medical treatment to identify any damages done. Following this, to compensate for such damages, victims of accidents should consider calling an Illinois accident attorney as soon as possible.

On the morning of Saturday, September 28th, two men were struck outside of a Calumet Heights restaurant before the SUV also drove into the restaurant, according to Chicago Tribune Breaking News.

Our attorneys hope for a fast and speedy recovery for the victims. If you were the victims to a serious accident such as this and suffered serious damages, such as head injuries, spinal injuries, fractures or broken bones, hiring a personal injury attorney as soon as possible may be the right option because an accident such as this can be hard for a person to handle by themselves. An Illinois vehicle accident attorney knows how to properly submit a claim to insurance companies and other parties possibly liable for the accident to compensate for medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
