    Located in Springfield, IL, we serve clients throughout Decatur, Jacksonville and surrounding Central IL communities.

    Have you or a family member been injured by a person under the influence of drugs or alcohol? Unfortunately, drunk driving accidents are all too common. Alcohol is present at many restaurants, special events or other functions, which means there’s always a risk of someone getting behind the wheel after drinking. Intoxication may cause drivers to swerve, react slowly or even fall asleep at the wheel. If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver, it’s important to work with an experienced law firm that can fight for the compensation that you’re entitled to receive under the law.

  • Hit & Run Accidents

    Many times, drunk drivers are under the false impression that nobody will know if they leave the scene of the accident. This is called a hit and run, and it’s another serious crime that causes physical and emotional stress for people and families all over Central IL.
