Illinois Car Accidents
Every day across Illinois—particularly in busy urban hubs like Chicago—car accidents lead to injuries that can dramatically alter lives. State records indicate that more than 70,000 crashes result in injuries each year, many of which happen in densely populated neighborhoods where traffic is heavy and intersections are frequent.
Some of the most commonly reported injuries from these collisions highlight just how serious even a single crash can be:
Whiplash and Soft Tissue Damage: Rear-end collisions often cause sudden head and neck movement, resulting in whiplash. Even at low speeds, this injury can lead to chronic discomfort, limited mobility, and the need for ongoing therapy.
Head Trauma and Brain Injuries: Impact to the head, or violent shaking inside the vehicle, can lead to concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries. Symptoms might be subtle at first—like confusion or headaches—but can escalate quickly, making early diagnosis and care essential.
Broken Bones and Fractures: The violent force of a crash can cause broken ribs, arms, legs, or hips. These injuries may require surgery, physical rehabilitation, and weeks or even months of recovery.
Internal Damage: Internal bleeding or injury to organs can be life-threatening and often shows no immediate signs. A thorough medical exam after a crash is vital, even if you feel fine.
