Car Accident Information & Car Accident Lawyers In Illinois

When you are driving along the roads and highways of Illinois as a passenger in a car, you can sue the other driver if you are involved in an Illinois car accident. Many people think that this right is only reserved for the drivers of the vehicles in an Illinois car accident, but this is not the case. You should contact a personal injury lawyer, who will then investigate the circumstances of the Illinois car accident.

The first thing you should do if you are involved in an Illinois car accident is seek medical treatment immediately. Quite often, you are in shock just after the Illinois car accident and forget to go to a doctor for several days afterward. There are also cases of Illinois car accidents where those involved felt fine and did not realize any after-effects for several weeks after the accident occurred. You are still eligible to sue for damages so as soon as you start to find any medical problems you should contact your doctor.

One of the things that a lawyer will advise people involved in an Illinois car accident is that they keep a journal of everything they can remember about the accidents and how they feel on a day-to-day basis afterwards. This is because an Illinois car accident can drag on for years through the courts and you need to have a good record of everything that will help you get as much compensation as possible.

When you contact a lawyer about the circumstances surrounding your Illinois car accident, he/she will answer any questions you might have about the service. You don’t have to worry about the high cost of the lawyer’s fees because most of these lawyers do not collect any fee until you receive your settlement from the Illinois car accident. This fee is usually a percentage of the compensation you receive, so you won’t have any expenses during the time leading up to the court date or the settlement.

Before you file a car accident lawsuit, contact the lawyers at Weitz & Luxenberg for information. We accept car accident cases.

Automobiles have become icons of American culture. Ever since the first Model T rolled off the assembly line 100 years ago, they have defined our lives. We ride in cars everyday to get to work, to shop or to visit friends and family. The price of gasoline is discussed as much as the weather. Songs have been written about them and played on the radio to our delight. Automobiles have made our society the most mobile in history.

But our love affair with the automobile has an ironic and deadly undercurrent. Car crashes on our nation’s highway have become the leading cause of death for people of every age between 2 and 34. How can that be?

According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NHTSA), an average of 117 people died each day in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 – that makes one every 12 minutes. In 2006 alone, there were an estimated 5.9 million police-reported traffic crashes, in which 42,642 people were killed and 2.6 million people were injured.

You could be the best driver in the world and more sober than a judge, but it’s the other driver that can injure you or wreck your family automobile. NHTSA reports that alcohol-related traffic fatalities rose to 17,602 in 2006 – representing 41 percent of all traffic fatalities for the year.

Although car accidents are more prevalent in the winter months, what you need to do after an accident never changes. Obviously it is hard to think clearly after a car accident so it is important to know before you get into an accident what to do first and what questions may need answered. This checklist will help you know what to do after a car accident. It is best to review it now and then print it out and keep a copy with you in your car.

* Determine the Extent of Damage or Injuries


Try to stay calm. Panic can make others panic and the situation worse.
There needs to be a calm person to determine the extent of damage and to determine if there are any injuries that need immediate medical attention.

* File a Car Accident Report with the Police

Even in a minor accident it is important to make sure there is a legal accident report. Do not leave the scene until the police file a full report.

* Discuss the Car Accident Only with the Police

With everyone all shook up it can be hard not to talk about what just happened, but that can also lead to you not thinking clearly and accurately about what happened. It is important to limit your discussion of the accident and not to admit any fault or liability. You should talk about the accident with the police and your insurance agent only.

* Get the Facts

This is the part most people know to do, but often forget to after the accident for one reason or another. It is important to get names, address, and phone numbers of everyone involved in the accident. A description of the car and license plate number can also be helpful, but make sure you also get their insurance company and the vehicle identification number of their car.

Don't just assume the license plate number will do because most insurance companies only record the type of car and the vehicle identification number, not the license plate number.

* Call you Insurance Agent

Call your agent or insurance company's 800-number immediately, even at the scene with the police if possible. Sometimes the police officer can give your insurance company more accurate information rather than information you may not be recording properly because you are upset by the accident. This can save you a lot of time later waiting for your claim to be processed.

Car And Automobile Accidents

Thousands of people are injured or killed every year in car accidents, and car accident figures have reached such numbers that they are thought to become the main cause of preventable death over the next fifteen years. Road accidents are the most popular cause of personal injury claims, and whether you were the driver or passenger in a car accident, or even if you are a pedestrian involved in a car accident, you could be entitled to compensation for pain, suffering and injury caused by a road traffic accident that was not your fault.

Some of the claims that you may be able to make include:

* Claims against an uninsured driver
* Claims for serious injuries
* Claims for medical expenses caused by a car accident
* Claims for loss of income
* Claims for defective vehicles
* Claims for pedestrians involved in car accidents

Over recent years, many specialist firms have come into operation offering legal assistance for those involved in a car accident that was not their fault. The potential for claiming compensation for a car accident that was not your fault and caused injury or harm is high. Traditionally, these costs were covered by just the insurance companies. However, specialist law firms can get you compensation for all losses such as medical expenses, loss of earnings, and harm caused by the accident. In addition to this, these car accident law firms can help in situations where the person at fault was not insured and therefore cannot pay through the insurance.

When you seek legal assistance in order to claim compensation following a car accident that was not your fault, you may have to provide medical evidence. In some states you can make a claim if you fall under one of the following:

* A loved one is killed
* You suffer a fractured bone or multiple fractures
* You suffer a permanent disfigurement
* You suffer the loss of a sense/senses
* You suffer the loss of a limb
* You suffer debilitating injuries such as spinal or brain injury

It is important to seek assistance and advice from a qualified and experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible following the incident. You may be limited for time when it comes to claiming compensation depending on which state you are in, so it is important to seek advice as soon as possible.

An experienced car accident lawyer can help you to get the compensation you deserve to cover any costs incurred due to the accident, such as medical expenses. He or she will also be able to get you compensation for pain, suffering and injury by putting together a solid and watertight case. If you are able to provide medical evidence of injury caused by the accidents, then this can really help your case. Even if you are unsure as to whether you have grounds to make a claim, it is worth going to see a lawyer, as he or she will be able to determine the viability of your case based on the facts and evidence.

Many law firms now offer a free initial consultation, so you can find out whether you have grounds to make a claim for free. Other law firms work on a contingency fee basis, which means that you don’t pay a cent until you receive compensation, at which point you are charged a percentage of the settlement. If you do not win your case, then you are not charged at all.

Whatever type of injury you have sustained from a car accident that was not your fault, and however small or insignificant it appears to be, you should always seek both medical and legal assistance immediately following the accident. Delaying the process could mean a delay in diagnosis or treatment, and could also make the difference between a successful claim and ineligibility to file for compensation against the person responsible for your injuries and loss.
