Auto Accidents

Central Illinois Auto Accident Lawyer

After a serious auto accident, the first priority is to get appropriate medical attention for your injuries or those of your loved ones. Priority number two should be to contact an auto accident lawyer who will fight the insurance companies to protect your interests while you focus on the difficult tasks of physical and emotional recovery.

A different kind of law firm…dedicated to serving you.

At Shay & Associates, we represent people from throughout the Central Illinois region who have been left with serious injuries or grief-stricken after a car wreck because of the negligence of another driver. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not wait until you are ready or able to hire a lawyer before they begin actively taking steps to minimize their losses at your expense.

We can start taking steps to protect your interests from the moment you hire us.

Our attorneys are actual litigators who have demonstrated the willingness and ability to take on the insurers in a courtroom and to get results — time and time again. At Shay & Associates, we also believe in a team approach that is centered squarely on you, the client. Why? Because knowing who our clients are is essential to giving them the kind of representation they deserve. For these reasons, you will work closely and communicate directly with your attorney from start to finish. We will answer your questions and concerns promptly. We will always keep you actively engaged in the legal process and informed of new developments as they arise.

Turn to someone you can trust, call us at 217-917-4288 in Decatur, or 217-523-5900 in Springfield, today.
