What damages can I recover for a motorcycle accident? You can recover economic damages for costs incurred due to the accident, like medical bills and lost wages, as well as compensation for pain and suffering. Injured motorcyclists often face financial and emotional challenges. If another person's negligence caused your accident, you can sue for compensation. 
What makes truck accident lawsuits different from car accident cases? The most obvious difference is size, as trucks can weigh up to 76,000 pounds more than an average car, resulting in severe damage and catastrophic injuries for smaller vehicle occupants. Additionally, truck accidents involve strict regulations and multiple liable parties, often leading to higher compensation for victims than car accidents.
Car accident cases may go to court, but most are settled out of court. Settlements are reached through discussions among the involved parties, which include you, the other driver, the insurance company of the other driver, and the lawyers for each party. Settlements save time and money and minimize the risk of losing for both parties. They provide clear compensation amounts, allowing injured plaintiffs to receive funds more quickly. However, going to court may be necessary for disputes over fault or if insurance companies offer inadequate settlements.
If you were injured in a trucking accident in Chicago, Berwyn, Oak Lawn, Cicero, or a nearby community, call the injury attorneys at Lloyd Miller Law for a free consultation.

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.
