How Our Palatine, Illinois Auto Accident Attorney Can Assist You

The latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicate that there are over six million auto accidents reported each year in the United States. While these crashes and collisions can occur due to a variety of factors, such as road, traffic, and weather conditions, the NHTSA reports the most common factor is reckless driving behaviors on the part of other drivers. Common causes of car accidents include the following:

• Speeding and going too fast for conditions;
• Running red lights and disregarding stop signs;
• Aggressive driving behaviors, such as tailgating and improper passing;
• Distracted driving, such as using cellphones or texting while driving;
• Driving while excessively tired or falling asleep behind the wheel;
• Impaired driving, caused by driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or even prescription and over-the-counter medications.

If you are involved in an auto accident, you may be entitled to compensation through an insurance company claim. Under Illinois law (625 ILCS 5/7-203), drivers are required to maintain liability insurance in the event of an accident. At the SAM LAW OFFICE, LLC, we can assist you in negotiations with the insurance company so that you get the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to. In the event your accident involved an uninsured driver, you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit for the damages you suffered.
