Pedestrian Accidents in Illinois
Pedestrian accidents continue to be a serious concern across Illinois, especially in Chicago. Busy intersections and steady vehicle flow create constant hazards for those on foot. Early-morning hours, like the time of this crash, often add to the danger due to reduced visibility.
When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the injuries are often severe. Victims may suffer broken bones, head or spinal trauma, and internal injuries that require extensive care. Recovery can involve long hospital stays, therapy, and financial strain from missed work and medical expenses.
Common causes of these accidents include distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield at marked crossings. Poor lighting or weather conditions can also make it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians until it’s too late. Because pedestrians have no protection, even minor impacts can cause life-altering harm.
Those injured in Illinois pedestrian crashes may be entitled to financial compensation. Recoverable damages can include medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. A knowledgeable Chicago pedestrian accident attorney can investigate the crash, handle insurance negotiations, and pursue fair recovery for victims and their families.
