Chicago, IL (March 2, 2023) – On Wednesday, March 1, a portion of Fabyan Parkway in suburban West Chicago was blocked due to a car accident involving casualties.
West Chicago police reported their arrival at the Fabyan Parkway collision site around 2:30 p.m. The police did not indicate the number or severity of the injuries, though they said their early reports suggest that a minivan and a smart car were involved in the crash.
The accident blocked most of Fabyan, from Roosevelt Road to Technology Boulevard/Enterprise Circle. Meanwhile, news footage showed two damaged vehicles at the scene, one on its side in a grassy area several feet off the street. Other emergency vehicles remained on the site well after 3:00 p.m.
In the interim, the crash investigation remains in the hands of Chicagoland authorities, and further details will be released as they become available.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Car Accidents in Illinois
Almost 10 million drivers with valid licenses daily operate more than 11 million registered automobiles in Illinois. Tragically, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation, there were around 313,000 auto accidents in 2019. What’s more, per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, around one-third of all accidents in the United States are caused by speeding or other simple driver errors.
Needless to say, a major vehicle accident might have a huge impact on your life. If you were injured as a consequence of the occurrence, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible. Before phoning the insurance provider, you must be confident that you have legal counsel from a knowledgeable and experienced attorney.
If you contact a car accident attorney, you will have a better chance of convincing the insurance company that you intend to hold the motorist responsible for your losses and seek compensation for those damages.
Even if you do not feel you were seriously injured in a vehicle accident, you should always be checked out at a local hospital or by your regular doctor. Untreated, even a seemingly minor injury may severely affect a person’s life. Sadly, many accident victims choose not to seek medical care for their injuries. As a result, victims are often robbed of the opportunity to finally submit a claim for personal injury and get just compensation for their suffering.
