Car Accidents in Illinois
Car accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury across Illinois, especially in large cities like Chicago. Busy streets such as West 18th Street often see heavy traffic, increasing the risk of collisions that leave victims seriously hurt. Injuries from these crashes can range from concussions and spinal trauma to fractures and internal injuries that require long-term care.
According to recent data from the Illinois Department of Transportation, more than 300,000 vehicle crashes occur statewide each year. Many of these result in severe injuries or fatalities. Distracted driving, speeding, and failure to obey traffic signals are among the top causes of serious collisions. Even a brief lapse in attention can cause a devastating crash that changes lives in seconds.
