Biography Submit listing

David Abels became a lawyer in 1994 and has focused his law practice on helping accident and injury victims since 1997. Much of his work revolves around motor vehicle related accidents, such as car crashes, bicycle accidents, motorcycle collisions, pedestrian accidents, truck accidents and assisting those involved in ride-share collisions (Uber & Lyft). He also spends a significant amount of time working on premises liability claims and sex abuse cases.

Years ago David started representing personal injury victims with the following philosophy: work hard on every case, and do such a good job that each client would want to use his services again if needed, and his clients would feel comfortable recommending him to friends and family. That method has worked very well for him, and he backs it up with a long list of six-figure and seven-figure settlements, strong online ratings and reviews, and many honors over the years.

Here are just some some of the honors the Dave has received:
-Illinois Super Lawyers Top 100 List, 2016-2019;
-Lifetime member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-million Dollar Advocates Forum;
-10.0 Rating on Avvo;
-The National Trial Lawyers Top 100;
-Abels & Annes has an A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau; and
-Abels & Annes is currently on the Three Best Rated list for personal injury law firms in Chicago.

David was raised in Evanston, Illinois and graduated from Evanston Township High School in 1987. Growing up he was an avid hockey player and played on Evanston's varsity team sophomore through senior year. He continued playing hockey in college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, JV team. He graduated from UW in 1991 and then returned to the Chicago area and attended the John Marshall Law School, becoming a juris doctor in 1994.

David was sworn in to the Illinois Bar in November, 1994 and was later was admitted into the Arizona Bar in April, 2010.

Here is yet another great client testimonial for the Phoenix accident attorneys at Abels & Annes, this time from a car crash victim who was rear-ended.

In 2014, there were nearly 110,000 motor vehicle accidents in Arizona, and in those crashes over 50,000 people were injured and 774 were killed. Of those drivers injured, over 3,600 were over the age of 65.

Auto accidents can be particularly tough on seniors, as they are more susceptible to injury and often have prior medical conditions that can be aggravated in crashes.

Here are client sustained a knee injury in the collision. He had a prior history of pain, and the incident made life much worse for him. He ended up treating with a specialist for several months.

In his review he mentions the work of law partner David Abels. He states that when you work with a lawyer, you want good communication skills and results, and he says that Dave excels in both areas. "He always returned my emails, he always returned my phone calls, he was always there" according to the client. He thought this was unusual for a professional. He finishes up by saying "he also got very good results, and that's what you use an attorney for."

If you have been injured in an Arizona car accident, give our office a call for a free consultation. We're here for you 24/7.

Pedestrian accidents are all too common in the Valley of the Sun, and throughout Arizona. With warm weather all year around, there are always people walking and running in the area. Unfortunately this means pedestrian accidents can occur often.

This video review is from a pedestrian named Molly that was hurt in a 2013 accident. She was crossing in a marked crosswalk when a driver failed to observe her, and a collision occurred.

The plaintiff was on her right hip and she also sustained a head injury when she hit the ground. She was taken from the scene by ambulance to a local hospital.

Our client soon underwent treatment with a medical doctor and she was also prescribed a course of physical therapy. Her pain continued and she was next referred to an orthopaedic specialist.

It was soon discovered by MRI that our client sustained a right hip labrum tear. She had to have surgery to repair the injury.

Our law firm was able to obtain an insurance policy limits settlement without having to go to court.

From the video you can see that she was very happy with the quality of our work. She said that she would give us an A+ rating, a perfect 10, and that we far exceeded her expectations. She also said we were professional, direct, very educated and honest. She also said that she was very happy with her settlement.

If you have been injured in a Phoenix area accident, give our office a call for a free attorney consultation.

The Arizona personal injury lawyers at Abels & Annes often work on pedestrian accident claims, and the injuries are typically serious.

In this video we hear from Katherine, who contacted our law firm after her mother was struck by a negligent driver in a crosswalk. Her injuries were nearly fatal, and she spent months in a hospital undergoing surgeries and recovering.

In the video Katherine talks about how easy it was to communicate with our office, how we were always available and how we answered all of her questions. She also says that her experience with our law firm was excellent and that she would recommend our law office to others that have been injured in an accident.

Katherine finally says that her family was very happy with the results of the case.

If badly hurt in an Arizona accident, it's best to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Issues can sometimes be complicated, and you don't want to damage your own case.

For example, in the case of Katherine's mother, while the defendant had auto insurance, he did not have enough auto insurance to adequately pay on the claim. Due to this fact, we were able to pursue an underinsured motorist claim (UIM claim) against the plaintiff's own auto policy. Our office was able to collect the limits of both insurance policies.

If you have had the misfortune of being involved in an Arizona pedestrian collision, call our office 24/7 for a free consultation at (602) 819-5191.
