• Accidents involving vehicles hitting pedestrians often result in serious injuries for the pedestrian.
• Single-vehicle accidents can be caused by hazards on the road due to unsafe conditions or due to the negligence of another. While single-vehicle accidents can involve running over an occasional curb, single-vehicle accidents aren't always caused by the driver

Illinois Rear-End Collisions and Failure to Stop Accidents

Whether you have suffered incapacitating or non-incapacitating injuries, our team is prepared to fight for you and help you recover the compensation you deserve. With many drivers on the roads of Illinois every day, the risk of inattention, distraction, drunken driving, and negligence is high, making it all the more important to have a trusted and experienced attorney on your side.

What is a Rear End Collision?

Rear-end collisions are vehicle accidents that occur when a vehicle behind another follows too closely and is unable to stop in time when the lead car starts braking or comes to a stop.

When Can a Rear-End Collision Occur?

Rear End collisions can happen at any time while driving. While they frequently occur at or near stop lights, signs, and intersections, they can also occur while driving on open roads.

What Causes Rear-End Collisions?

Rear-end collisions can occur due to several factors. While following a vehicle too closely is the main reason these can occur, slick roadways due to rain, snow, and black ice can dramatically increase the time it takes a vehicle to stop. Additionally, drugs and alcohol can severely reduce reaction times causing the following driver to not react in time to stop appropriately.

Side Impact Accidents

Side impact accidents, also known as T-bone collisions can cause severe injuries and even death to the occupants of the vehicle that has been struck.

T-bone accidents can occur due to many the factors, the most common being drivers unwilling to stop for a traffic signal and then striking the victim, often at full speed. The energy from these impacts can cause devastating personal injuries.

Accidents Involving Pedestrians in Illinois

Motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians are among the worst types of collisions. An average vehicle weighs over a ton, or 2,000 pounds and when a car hits a person, the damages are often catastrophic.

Pedestrian-involved car accidents often cause permanent injury, disfigurement, and death. While the driver of the vehicle involved may not be under the influence of substances, a moment's inattention can change a family's life forever.

Single Vehicle Accidents in Illinois

While many drivers have run over an occasional curb, single-ve accidents aren't always caused by the driver of the vehicle involved in an accident. Unsafe conditions due to bright lights, unnaturally slick conditions, or foreign objects left on the road can cause devastating consequences for even the most attentive drivers.

Illinois Commercial Vehicle & Semi-Truck Accidents

Collisions with commercial vehicles, vans, and semi-trucks can also have devastating consequences for a vehicle occupants. A moment of inattention by a commercial driver can cause terrible repercussions and with those involved with Semi-Trucks can cause catastrophic injuries.

Types of Injuries Received From Vehicle Accidents

Automobile accidents can result in numerous types of injuries to a victim. These injuries are classified by IDOT in two ways, incapacitating and non-incapacitating injuries.

Incapacitating Injuries or A-Injuries

What Are Incapacitating Injuries?

Incapacitating injuries, also known as a-injuries, are any non-fatal injuries and bodily damages that occur that diminish the victim's ability to walk, drive, or perform other daily tasks that they could perform before the accident.

Broken limbs, serious lacerations, spinal cord injuries, stomach injuries, fractured skulls, brain injuries, and chest traumas are examples of incapacitating wounds.

Non-incapacitating injuries or B-Injuries

What Is a Non-Incapacitating Injury?

Non-incapacitating injuries, also known as b-injuries are injuries visible to witnesses at the scene of the collision but are neither deadly nor incapacitating. These wounds sustained can include scratches and lacerations, concussions, abrasions, and bruises.
