Hazardous weather condition on the road seen through windshield. weather affects car accident liability
Chicago’s weather affects car accident liability, especially during icy and rainy conditions. Assigning liability in bad weather accidents hinges on a driver’s adaptability to the weather and road conditions. Illinois drivers are legally required to adjust their overall driving behavior according to the weather. Failure to do so could lead to liability for the crashes that occur. Learning more about how weather conditions affect liability is crucial if you’re involved in an accident in adverse weather.

After a crash, the immediate chaos can make it tempting to skip the trip to the ER—especially if you don’t feel hurt right away. But delaying medical attention can hurt more than your health. It can seriously undermine your ability to recover compensation for your injuries. At Lloyd Miller Law in Chicago, we’ve seen firsthand how medical records—and the timing and consistency of your hospital and doctor visits—can make or break a personal injury claim. Here's why medical documentation remains one of the most powerful tools in building a successful case.

More Car Accident Headaches for Illinois Drivers!

Posted By:

Another reason to avoid a car accident!  Illinois lawmakers amended the Illinois Vehicle Code that now gives Illinois drivers more duties and responsibilities to the passengers in their vehicles. Illinois drivers are now required  to properly adjust and fasten seat belts for passengers who are unable to do it themselves. A driver transporting a passenger who is unable to properly adjust and fasten their safety belt due to illness, infirmity or age must secure the passenger or face a ticket and fine. More concerning for the driver may be the added liability should the driver and passenger become involved in a car accident and the passenger suffers aggravated personal injury because the driver did not properly adjust and fasten the passenger’s safety belt. Be sure to let your Chicago Injury attorney know the status of all passengers involved in the auto accident and be aware of your duties as a driver.

Passengers should also be aware of this amendment and ask that the driver perform these safety functions. If not, passengers should make their car accident attorney aware of their status and the fact that the driver did not assure their safety thus contributing to the passenger’s injuries in the vehicle collision.
