Car Accidents and Injuries In Illinois

Statistics from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) reveal that as many as 300,000 car accidents occur each year in our state, leaving as many as 61,000 drivers and their passengers injured, while resulting in close 1,000 deaths. Other drivers are often to blame in these accidents, and common causes include the following:

• Speeding or driving too fast for conditions;
• Running red lights;
• Aggressive driving, such as tailgating and failing to yield;
• Distracted driving, such as using cellphones or texting;
• Drowsy driving, or falling asleep behind the wheel;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

How Our Inverness Auto Accident Attorney Can Help

IDOT estimates that car crashes and collisions in Illinois cost as much as $5 billion each year. Damage to your vehicle may cost $10,000 or more, while medical expenses for even minor injuries can be as high as $100,000. Common types of injuries suffered in Illinois car accidents 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.

Illinois motor vehicle laws (625 ILCS 5/7-203) require all drivers to carry minimum amounts of liability coverage. Unfortunately, this may not be enough to completely cover your damages, while the insurance company itself may attempt to undervalue or even deny your claim.  

At the SAM LAW OFFICE, LLC, attorney Susan A. Marks provides the aggressive legal representation clients need to get the maximum amount of compensation they are entitled to by law. Either through negotiations with the insurance company or by filing a personal injury lawsuit, we can assist you in getting the money you need to recover, including costs such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
