Car Accidents in Illinois
Illinois roads see thousands of crashes every year, many of which happen in busy intersections like South Main Street and East 83rd Street in Chicago. With constant traffic flow and quick turns, drivers face a greater risk of impact. Even a brief lapse in attention can lead to serious injuries and lasting consequences for everyone involved.
Car accidents in Illinois often stem from driver inattention, sudden lane changes, or failure to yield at intersections. Heavy traffic in urban areas like Chicago also increases the risk of rear-end and side-impact collisions. Poor weather conditions and reduced visibility at night can make these crashes even more likely.
Victims of car crashes frequently suffer head injuries, broken bones, and neck or back strain. These injuries can cause long-term pain, limit movement, and require extensive medical treatment. Beyond the physical harm, many victims face emotional stress, financial strain, and months of recovery before returning to normal life.
Under Illinois law, anyone injured because of another driver’s negligence may be entitled to compensation. This can include payment for hospital bills, lost wages, future medical care, and pain and suffering.
