Motor Vehicle Collisions in Illinois
Chicago’s and the nation’s thoroughfares and expressways are the scene of significant collisions and multi-vehicle collisions, which involve hundreds or thousands of drivers in a given year. The majority of these collisions are classified as “normal fender-benders,” which frequently result in minor injuries and minimal property damage that can be easily resolved with minimal effort. However, it is also accurate that certain accidents are the result of the negligence and carelessness of another motorist, resulting in fatalities or severe injuries.
On a daily basis, Chicago’s three million residents commute to and from work and school, conduct duties, and explore the city’s numerous attractions. Regrettably, certain individuals are unable to arrive at their destinations in a secure manner. In Chicago, there are more than 270 vehicle collisions per day, which translates to one incident occurring every five to six minutes. In addition to the hundreds of individuals who die in car accidents each year, an untold number of others suffer severe injuries.
