Still more proof that recession is upon us… Sports car maker Saleen is offering folks a $25 gift card for test-driving one of their speedy but expensive cars. Pictured above is a Saleen-modified Ford Mustang S281 RF with 465 horsepower, 425 lb-ft. of torque, and an MSRP of $50,000.

Not a bad weekend idea if you are vehicularly-inclined and have a dealer near you. Via Slickdeals.

I still had a fun time when we got paid $50 worth of steaks to test drive a $150,000 Maserati, now I’m just waiting for someone to pay me to test drive a Ferrari!

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.

Seek Justice

If you or a loved one are in a car accident and thankfully escape injury (and the medical bills associated with it), your secondary concern is over the damage done to your car. To find out if you are entitled to compensation – for personal injury or for automobile damage – you will need an experienced lawyer with a proven track record.

Weitz & Luxenberg car accident lawyers work on a contingency basis. Your legal representation is free unless we win compensation for you. It’s a Win-Win business relationship at Weitz & Luxenberg: Your lawyer gets paid only if you do.
