Illinois Auto Accidents and Injuries

Car crash statistics from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) indicate that as many as 300,000 car accidents occur each year in the state of Illinois, resulting in more than 61,000 injuries for drivers and their passengers, and nearly 1,000 deaths. Common causes for car accidents in Illinois include:

• Speeding and driving too fast for conditions;
• Running red lights;
• Engaging in aggressive driving behaviors, such as tailgating;
• Distracted driving, such as using cell phones, texting, or checking emails;
• Drowsy driving and falling asleep behind the wheel;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

How Our Hoffman Estates, Illinois Auto Accident Attorney Can Help

According to IDOT, the estimated costs associated with Illinois car accidents are more than $5 billion each year. Costs to repair or replace your vehicle may be $10,000 or greater, while medical costs associated with even minor injuries can run as high as $100,000. Common types of injuries include:

•         Muscle strains, sprains, and tears;
•         Broken bones and severe lacerations;
•         Back and neck injuries, including spinal cord injuries;
•         Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries.

Under Illinois motor vehicle laws (625 ILCS 5/7-203), all drivers are required to maintain minimum liability coverage in the event of an accident. Unfortunately, in too many cases, either the driver is uninsured or lacks the amount of coverage necessary to cover the costs, or the insurance company itself attempts to undervalue or even deny the claim.

At the SAM LAW OFFICE, LLC, attorney Susan A. Marks is dedicated to helping car accident victims get the maximum amount of compensation allowed by law, either through an insurance company claim or by filing a personal injury lawsuit.  The types of compensation you may be entitled to include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from your accident.
