Pedestrian Accidents in Illinois
Pedestrian accidents remain a serious safety concern throughout Illinois, especially in busy areas like Chicago. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, hundreds of pedestrians are injured each year, and many of these crashes happen at intersections where vehicles and foot traffic meet. Drivers who speed, fail to yield, or become distracted often create dangerous situations for people crossing the street.
For victims, the impact goes far beyond the accident scene. Medical bills can pile up quickly, time away from work can lead to lost income, and emotional trauma often lingers long after the crash. Even seemingly minor collisions can cause serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, or spinal damage. More severe incidents may result in lifelong disability or the heartbreaking loss of a loved one.
Illinois law gives injured pedestrians the right to pursue compensation when a driver’s negligence causes harm. This may include payment for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other crash-related costs.
However, insurance companies often push quick settlements that fail to cover the true cost of recovery. A skilled Chicago pedestrian accident lawyer can investigate the crash, build a strong case, and fight to secure the compensation you deserve.
