★★★★★
It's been great working with Toby. He's an excellent attorney that helped immensely during this difficult and stressful period. I especially appreciate open honest dialogue which he always provides.
★★★★★
Great experience overall! Very communicative & informed me about everything every step of the way!
★★★★★
I was in a life-threatening car accident in April of 2023 caused by a drunk driver. I was given Toby Mulholland's information through my insurance agent, and contacting him was the BEST decision I could have possibly made. Let me just say, Toby was my advocate every step of the way - in the midst of such a traumatic accident, I had comfort knowing my Lawyer was doing everything in his power to right the wrongs of the person who nearly took my life. Everything about that experience was new to me - I had never been in an accident, dealt with insurance, filed a suit, given a deposition, etc. Toby was informative regarding all the legal processes which were taking place, and answered all questions I had - in essence: he was my biggest advocate other than myself. He is extremely organized, well spoken, and knows exactly what he is talking about. Without his help, I don't know how I would have gotten through such a turbulent time. If you find yourself in a similar position to me, where it feels like your world is collapsing, medical facilities trying to push you around, insurance companies calling you... Toby Mulholland is the person you need to shield you from the noise, the advocate you deserve, and the best Lawyer around. Thank you for everything you have done to help me in my most dire of times, Toby!

Two Drivers Can Tell Different Stories
At an Intersection, The Physical Evidence Must Speak Clearly.
Signal phases, turn paths, vehicle damage, stopping distances, video, witnesses, and the final resting positions can reveal what happened when the accounts conflict.
2
Do not let a quick offer define the loss
Future treatment, rehabilitation, missed work, reduced mobility, and lasting pain may matter as much as the first medical bills.
3
Preserve the intersection record promptly
Nearby cameras, dashcams, witness accounts, police records, signal information, and vehicle data may provide an independent account.
What a Claim May Address
An Intersection Crash Can Affect Every Part of Daily Life
The value of a claim depends on the evidence and your individual losses. A complete review considers immediate expenses and the consequences that continue after the first hospital visit.
Medical Care
Emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, medication, rehabilitation, therapy, and projected future care.
Lost Income
Time away from work, reduced earning capacity, missed career opportunities, and benefits affected by the injury.
Pain and Loss of Normal Life
Physical pain, emotional distress, reduced independence, and the inability to enjoy activities that mattered before the crash.
Long-Term Support
Mobility equipment, home modifications, transportation, attendant care, and assistance with everyday tasks.
Scarring and Disability
Permanent impairment, disfigurement, neurological injury, and other lasting changes caused by the impact.
Wrongful Death Losses
Potential claims for funeral expenses, financial support, companionship, and other losses suffered by surviving family members.
Right of Way Must Be Reconstructed
Fault at an Intersection Is Proven by More Than One Driver's Claim.
Illinois rules address signals, stop signs, yielding, left turns, pedestrians, and cyclists, but applying those rules requires a reliable account of each movement before impact.
We investigate the full sequence, not the adjuster's shortcut.
Illinois uses comparative-fault rules, so insurers have a financial reason to assign as much blame as possible to the injured person.
Video, signal information, vehicle damage, witness accounts, electronic data, roadway markings, and reconstruction can test each version of the crash.
📞 Call (312) 386-6706Signal and turn sequence
The light phase, arrow, lane position, turn path, and timing of each vehicle can determine who had the right of way.
Driver conduct
Speed, distraction, impairment, following distance, signaling, braking, and failure to yield can establish negligence.
Independent evidence
Business video, dashcams, witnesses, police records, vehicle data, and photographs can confirm or challenge the competing accounts.
Additional responsibility
Commercial employers, vehicle owners, rideshare companies, roadway conditions, or other coverage may require separate investigation.

Since starting his practice in 2000, Toby has represented people and families facing the consequences of negligence across motor vehicle collisions, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, construction, premises, and other serious injury matters.

Protect the Record
The Best Evidence May Not Wait for the Legal Deadline
Nearby surveillance may be overwritten, vehicles may be repaired, road conditions can change, and witnesses can become difficult to locate. A prompt investigation can identify and preserve the evidence needed to explain the intersection sequence.
How Intersection Crashes Happen
Common Chicago Intersection Crashes Require Different Proof
Each collision pattern raises different questions about signals, yielding, visibility, speed, and the movement of every road user.
T-Bone and Side-Impact Crashes
A vehicle entering across another travel path can expose the occupants to direct impact with limited side protection.
Left-Turn Collisions
These cases often focus on the turner's duty to yield, the speed and visibility of oncoming traffic, and the available signal phase.
Rear-End Crashes at Signals
Distraction, following too closely, speed, weather, or failure to anticipate stopped traffic can cause a serious impact.
Red-Light and Stop-Sign Crashes
Video, witnesses, vehicle positions, and signal or sign evidence can help establish who entered when movement was prohibited.
Failure-to-Yield Crashes
Four-way stops and uncontrolled intersections can produce conflicting accounts that require careful scene and witness investigation.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Impacts
Turning vehicles, blocked sightlines, and crosswalk timing can place people outside vehicles at extreme risk of injury.
You Pay $0 Unless We Win Your Case.
We advance the cost of investigating and pursuing the claim. You do not pay an attorney fee unless compensation is recovered.

Four Practical Steps to Take After an Intersection Crash
Safety comes first. These steps can also help create a clearer record of what happened.
Get medical attention
Seek appropriate care, follow treatment recommendations, and report new symptoms instead of waiting for them to become severe.
Preserve the scene details
Save photographs, video, witness contacts, police information, the exact cross streets, travel directions, and signal details you remember.
Avoid fault speculation
Do not guess about timing, speed, or signals in a recorded statement before you understand the evidence and crash sequence.
Get legal guidance early
A prompt review can identify cameras, records, insurance, deadlines, and the next step without obligating you to proceed.

Common Questions
Clear Answers After an Intersection Crash Before You Call
Every case depends on its own evidence, insurance, injuries, and timeline. These answers explain what we evaluate during a free review.
The other driver's statement does not decide the claim. Illinois comparative-fault rules make an accurate fault analysis important, so video, signal information, witnesses, vehicle damage, police records, and electronic data should be reviewed before accepting an insurer's percentage.
Important evidence can include traffic and business video, dashcams, witness information, police reports, scene photographs, signal information, roadway markings, vehicle data, phone records, medical records, and work-loss documentation.
You should understand who is requesting the statement and why before agreeing. A detailed recorded account given before the evidence is reviewed can create avoidable disputes about signals, timing, speed, injuries, or fault.
Potentially responsible parties may include one or more drivers, a vehicle owner, an employer, a trucking company, a rideshare company, or another entity connected to unsafe roadway or vehicle conditions. The answer depends on the evidence and applicable coverage.
Value depends on fault evidence, available insurance, medical expenses, future care, lost income, disability, pain, scarring, and the crash's effect on daily life. No responsible evaluation can be made from the diagnosis alone.
Deadlines vary based on the parties and facts, and some claims require earlier notice. Evidence may disappear long before the filing deadline, so the specific timeline should be reviewed promptly.
The consultation is free. Injury cases are handled on a contingency fee, so you do not pay an attorney fee unless compensation is recovered. The agreement is explained in writing before representation begins.
