Fatal Car Accidents in Illinois
Tragic car crashes, like the one that happened in Lincoln, remind us how quickly lives can change on the road. In Illinois, fatal car accidents remain a serious concern, with hundreds of lives lost each year due to preventable causes such as speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving.
The Illinois Department of Transportation reports that many deadly crashes occur on highways and busy intersections, where high speeds and driver inattention often lead to devastating outcomes.
After a fatal collision, families are left facing emotional pain and unexpected financial burdens. When a loved one dies because of another driver’s negligence, surviving family members may have grounds to file a wrongful death claim. This type of legal action can help cover expenses such as medical bills, funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering.
Some common causes of fatal crashes include:
- Distracted driving, often caused by texting or using a cellphone
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Reckless or aggressive driving behaviors
- Fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel
