There's no seatbelt or airbag to protect a pedestrian.
Chicago's busy intersections, from the Loop to neighborhood corridors like Milwaukee Avenue and Lincoln Avenue, put pedestrians at real risk every single day. When a vehicle strikes someone on foot, there's nothing to absorb the impact, and the resulting injuries tend to be severe and long-lasting.
Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto the person who was hit, arguing about crosswalk timing, right-of-way, or visibility, even when the driver was clearly distracted, speeding, or running a red light at a busy intersection.
Bret Franco’s years defending insurance companies in high-exposure cases give him direct insight into these tactics and exactly how adjusters build them from the start. He uses that insider knowledge to represent pedestrians struck in crosswalks, parking lots, and sidewalks throughout Chicago.
