It was a nightmare situation for a Chicagoan as she was taking her son to school, but Ankin Law was there to help.

Linda was in a parking lot outside her residence in January 2025 when a driver struck her while backing up. This all happened in front of her son, who then watched paramedics take Linda to the emergency room.
Knowing she needed legal representation, Linda started a Google search for law firms and came across Ankin Law’s strong rating.
She decided to give the Chicago-based personal injury firm a call, where her case was assigned to Attorney Maria Merman.
Along with legal assistant Adrianna Carrillo, they helped to get Linda treatments for the injuries suffered along with a settlement in under a year. It’s another example of Ankin Law’s expertise in car accident cases, which we’ve specialized in since our founding in 1997.
“I just like how they were very patient with me. They didn’t brush me off,” said Linda. “They made me feel like a person instead of another paycheck.”
