Gary is located in Lake County, Indiana, and is located along the southern shore of Lake Michigan just 25 miles from Chicago, Illinois. Gary is considered to be part of the Chicago metropolitan area. The city has historically been dominated by industrial activity and is home to home to the largest steel mill in North America – U.S. Steel Gary Works, our Indianapolis personal injury lawyer adds.

In fact, Gary was actually founded by the United States Steel Corporation. Perhaps Gary’s biggest claim to fame is that it is the hometown of the Jackson Family. You can actually visit the Birthplace of Michael Jackson if you ever find yourself passing through Gary.
Gary Personal Injury Attorneys
Unfortunately, Gary’s other claim to fame is its violent crime rate which is 21% higher than the national average, and a homicide rate of 12 times higher. Gary became notorious as one of the most dangerous places in the Nation back in the 1990s. However, in recent years, Gary’s city leadership has been taking steps to rebuild, revive, and restore the community.
With high crime rates come high rates of traffic accidents, drug, and alcohol-related wrecks, and wrongful death cases. Since Gary is located in such close proximity to Chicago, it may seem reasonable to contact a Chicago attorney. However, if you or a loved one were involved in an accident in Gary, you need an Indiana personal injury attorney to represent you.
Keller & Keller’s attorneys licensed in Indiana are familiar with Indiana state-specific laws and have represented hundreds of clients from Gary. An attorney with an Illinois license would not be able to bring a case to trial in Indiana unless they are also licensed in Indiana.
