Car Crashes & Injuries in Chicago

More than 1,025 persons lost their lives in 910 separate accidents in Illinois in 2013. Analysts have shown that speeding, hitting a stationary object, and driver inattention are the major causes of fatal car accidents in the state.

The majority of deaths and severe injuries in Cook County occur on four- and six-lane roads. Furthermore, 26% of all Illinois accidents occur in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Victims of car accidents often bear the costs of another driver’s carelessness. Also, after such tragic occurrences, injury to one’s mind and wallet may be just as destructive as damage to one’s bones. Any Chicagoan injured in a vehicle accident caused by another driver’s negligence should immediately get in touch with a lawyer.

If you were hurt in a vehicle accident that wasn’t your fault, you may sue the negligent party in Illinois and collect damages.
