Your Neighbors Fighting For You After an Injury
When you’re hurt in Elkhart or St. Joseph County, you need attorneys who truly understand your community. Ed, Laura, and Tom at Chester Law Office aren’t just experienced injury lawyers—they’re your neighbors who know the challenges local families face after accidents.
Whether you’ve been injured in a crash on the Toll Road, hurt by a negligent driver on Beardsley or Ironwood, suffered from a dog bite, or lost a loved one in a tragic accident, we provide straightforward guidance without legal jargon.
We offer free consultations at times that work for your schedule—evenings, weekends, or at your location. Our bilingual services ensure nothing gets lost in translation, and you pay absolutely nothing unless we win your case.
Our reputation as trial attorneys who actually take cases to court means insurance companies take us seriously—often resulting in better offers for our clients without lengthy courtroom battles.
Contact us today to speak directly with an attorney who puts your needs first and fights for the compensation your family deserves.
Truck Crashes
Due to the size and weight differences between trucks and passenger vehicles, truck crashes are likely to result in catastrophic injuries. Common examples include:
Traumatic brain injuries
Neck and back injuries
Cuts to the face and head
Broken or crushed bones
Spinal cord injuries
Paralysis (paraplegia and quadriplegia)
Burn injuries
It can take years and extensive medical treatment to recover from these injuries when recovery is even possible. If you’ve been in a truck crash, you’re likely facing unaffordable medical bills and lost wages from time spent unable to work. Our attorneys will thoroughly and carefully calculate the costs and losses you’ve incurred and will aggressively advocate for full and fair compensation. If the trucking company and its insurer refuse to negotiate a reasonable settlement, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial.
