Young man working on his car engine. negligent car maintenance
Negligent car maintenance is one of the top causes of car accidents in Chicago, Illinois. Negligently maintained cars are likely to have malfunctioned headlights, faulty brakes, worn tires, and faulty steering. These maintenance issues may make the vehicle difficult to control, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Car parking in the supermarket complex in the evening. parking lot accidents
Drivers on thoroughfare lanes, the primary roads running through lots, have the right of way over other drivers in Illinois parking lots. So, the vehicles entering the thoroughfare lanes from feeder roads and those reversing from parking spaces are often liable in the event of an accident. Additionally, the Illinois vehicle code prioritizes pedestrian safety in parking lots. Drivers must give way to the pedestrians, even when they are in unmarked crosswalks. The input of an experienced car accident lawyer is instrumental in determining who is to blame for parking lot accidents and ensuing injuries.
Fragments of a broken motorcycle on the pavement. helmet laws in Illinois
What are the helmet laws in Illinois? Illinois doesn't currently have helmet laws in place for motorcyclists, meaning these laws won't directly have an impact on an accident case. However, your decision to avoid wearing a helmet could still affect the outcome of your case, as this gear can greatly reduce the risk of injuries.

Bicycle Accidents: Joliet to Appeal $2 Million Award

Bicycle Accidents and Injuries: Joliet to appeal $2 million award to bicyclist hit by police car.

Poor Cedric Bacon, 57 was struck by a Joliet police car traveling more than 60 mph at an intersection in South Chicago. Bacon suffered severe trauma and several skull fractures. Bacon now lives with his son in Atlanta had to use a wheelchair for more than a year after the bicycle accident and injuries suffered. The jury awarded the money on July 15 after almost a week of trial and court records indicate that Bacon had almost $700,000 in medical bills. Of course, Bacon is also responsible for legal bills and court costs so the award is not exactly a windfall. However, Assistant City Attorney Greg Smith confirmed the city plans to appeal the verdict which means it will be quite awhile before Bacon sees a penny of his award.
