Chicago, IL – I-294 Car Accident at 95th St in Bridgeview Injures Victims

Chicago, IL - I-294 Car Accident at 95th St in Bridgeview Injures Victims

Chicago, IL (December 4, 2022) – A handful of victims were injured in an automobile collision on the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) near Bridgeview on Sunday, December 4, in the early evening.

At 5:30 p.m., the southbound lanes of Interstate 294 were totally halted at 95th Street due to an accident. Currently, one unidentified subject has been transported to a hospital in Chicago, but their current status has not been disclosed.

Due to the collision, traffic was stopped for almost two hours. Bridgeview and Chicagoland officials cleaned up the scene and removed debris throughout the on-scene portion of their inquiry. An investigation still remains ongoing at this time.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families.

Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Chicagoland

According to data published by the state, there were more than 95,000 vehicle accidents in Illinois in 2013. Nearly 980 people perished as a direct consequence of over 900 catastrophic events. The leading causes of auto accidents that result in at least one death include head-on collisions with stationary objects, driving under the influence of alcohol, and driving at an unsafely high speed.

The bulk of traffic-related deaths and injuries in Cook County occur at or near busy junctions. Illinois has released new data revealing that more than a quarter of all traffic accidents occur in the greater Chicago metropolitan region.

Motor vehicle accident victims often bear the weight of others’ irresponsibility. Patients must also deal with the stress and anguish that accompany serious injuries and growing medical expenses, not to mention other financial problems.

The victims of these injuries may also be entitled to compensation for their pain or death as a direct consequence. If the collision was not your fault, you should contact a car accident attorney in Chicago as soon as possible.

If another driver’s carelessness or inattention caused your injuries in an Illinois accident, you are entitled to compensation and justice. Plaintiffs should get legal counsel as quickly as possible after a vehicle accident in Illinois since it may be difficult to obtain fair compensation from the other motorist or their insurance company without it.

  • "Excellent Law Firm!"

    I cannot recommend D&W Law Group enough. From the moment I met the team, I felt confident that I was in good hands. They kept in touch with me every step of the way. My attorneys fought the insurance company, and we settled my case without having to go to court. Excellent law firm!

  • "Great Settlement"

    When I had my accident, the insurance company dragged its feet. I tried to handle the case on my own. I am so glad I decided to hire D&W Law Group. They kept my case moving, and I was awarded a great settlement. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do I will call them.
