Greater Chicago-area Auto Accidents

Figures provided by the state show that there were more than 95,000 car accidents in Illinois last year. Nearly 980 individuals died as a direct result of over 900 disastrous disasters. Auto accidents that result in at least one fatality are most often caused by drivers engaging in head-on collisions with stationary objects, drinking and driving, or driving at an unsafely high speed.

In Cook County, the majority of traffic-related fatalities and injuries occur at or near busy intersections. Illinois has published new figures showing that the greater Chicago metropolitan area is home to more than a quarter of all traffic incidents.

Motor vehicle accident victims often endure the brunt of other people’s recklessness. It’s not enough for patients to cope with mounting medical costs and other financial burdens; they also have to deal with the stress and sorrow that comes with suffering from mental illness.

The victims of these injuries may also be entitled to compensation for their suffering or perhaps death as a direct result of the damage they sustained. If you were not the one who caused the accident, you should get in contact with a Chicago auto accident lawyer as soon as possible.
