Chicago, IL – Rear-End Collision on I-90/94 at Roosevelt Rd Injures Victims

Chicago, IL - Rear-End Collision on I-90/94 at Roosevelt Rd Injures Victims

Chicago, IL (December 24, 2022) – On the evening of Saturday, December 24, two vehicles rear-ended one other on a major Chicago-area roadway.

Consequently, several police cars and emergency workers were sent to the Kennedy area. At around 11:30 p.m., the Chicago Police Department deployed officers to the I-90/94 Dan Ryan Outbound and Roosevelt Road region.

According to reports, one patient was transported by ambulance to a hospital in the Chicago area.

The police are still investigating but have made no new discoveries. Nonetheless, the CPD has urged that anybody with knowledge about this situation contact them.

The injured victims and their families are in our thoughts.

Accident Injuries in the Greater Chicago Area

In 2013, there were around 97,000 auto incidents involving Illinois drivers, according to the state’s collision statistics. There have been over 1,025 fatalities as a consequence of these over 910 events. Drunk driving, striking an immovable object, and excessive speed are the three major causes of fatal automobile accidents.

In Cook County, the majority of deaths and serious injuries occur at high-volume crossings and on four- and six-lane motorways. According to previously released figures, more than a quarter of all traffic accidents in Illinois occur in the Chicago metropolitan region.

Unfortunately, the victims of vehicle accidents are sometimes forced to pay for the irresponsibility of others. People often only consider the immediate physical ramifications of an event, ignoring the long-term psychological and financial consequences. Those who have suffered emotionally due to a disaster may also submit a claim for compensation. If you were not responsible for the vehicle accident, you should contact a Chicago attorney immediately.

Under Illinois law, if another motorist caused an accident that left you wounded, you have the authority to hold them financially accountable. If you have been involved in an automobile accident in Illinois, you should immediately contact a local attorney. Without legal counsel, it may be difficult to negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company representing the negligent motorist.

  • "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.
