Automotive Accidents

Personal injury arises from a wide variety of motor vehicle accidents, which include: car accidents, involving collisions with another car or third party; motorcycle accidents, involving other vehicles or hazardous conditions; and truck accidents, involving big-rig and commercial trucks.

Personal injury claims involve more than just physical suffering. They also include financial, psychological and emotional damages. At the Schum Law Office, we make sure that you get the insurance compensation you need to recover from the physical and emotional trauma caused by other people's negligence.

It is difficult to assess the extent of the damages especially when the sudden impact clouds an individual's judgment. This is why the assistance of an experienced lawyer is imperative. That is what we are here for. The Schum Law Office has the skill to negotiate better compensation terms that are tailored to suit their clients' financial needs.

Your Case. Our Priority

There are matters that have to be considered right after an auto accident to facilitate the filing of claims later on. The determination of liability and its extent are critical to establishing a valid insurance claim. Determining who is at fault and whether that person has an adequate insurance policy and the assessment of damages can be difficult . It is best to consult an experienced lawyer right away.

Negotiate From a Position of Strength

Victims of auto accidents have to deal with unreasonable insurance adjusters almost immediately after their traumatic experience. Instead of being able to rest and recover from their physical wounds, they spend their time worrying about medical bills. Some may not have medical insurance at all, while others may have difficulty figuring out their insurance claims.

Some insurance companies take advantage of this situation and reduce compensations to a shocking minimum. Other insurance companies make low offers to victims of auto accidents, stall, and hope that they will go away and give up.


It’s important to take prompt action when you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident. We will help you seek the proper compensation you deserve. Contact us online or at (217) 239-6640 to speak with a skilled and experienced motor vehicle accident injury lawyer.
