Driver calling using smartphone in car is going to hit pedestrian. Parking-Lot Pedestrian Crashes
Parking lot pedestrian crashes, even at low speeds, can lead to serious injuries and high dollar claims. Although vehicles move more slowly in parking lots than on regular roads, the tight quarters where pedestrians and cars interact, along with driver distractions and flaws in parking lot design, can result in severe outcomes.
Teenage Driver Suffering Whiplash Injury Traffic Accident Rubbing Neck With Hand. rear-ended in Chicago
Rear-end collisions are not always as simple as they seem. There's a common misconception that a driver who rear-ends another vehicle is always at fault. In Illinois, this isn't necessarily true. While drivers must maintain a safe following distance and can be liable for accidents caused by failing to do so, not every rear-end collision is solely their fault. Sometimes, the driver in front may share blame.

Drunk Driving Accidents: The Country Club Pays

Posted By:

Drunk Driving Accidents: The family of a man killed in a 2008 car accident was awarded $1 million in July in a lawsuit against an Alabama country club. The club was accused of selling too much alcohol to a man who is now serving prison time for causing a Drunk Driving Accidents in which a father of three was killed. The defendant- whose blood-alcohol level was nearly two times the legal limit three hours after the crash- hit the decedent head-on after leaving the premises of the club.

The family alleged that the club continued to serve the defendant alcohol despite witness accounts that he was intoxicated upon arrival at the club and then bought “at least 12 cans of beer” and then 6 more after 9 holes of golf. After finishing another 9 holes, defendant repaired to the bar where he was served more alcohol.

Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) hopes the spirit of community responsibility illustrated by this verdict extends to findings in Illinois. As we have opined in previous articles posted on our blog and our LinkedIn and Twitter sites- it is up to our judiciary to enforce drunk driving laws and our communities to help prevent drunk drivers from getting into their vehicles. This verdict is another step in holding errant servers of alcohol liable for enabling the endangerment of the innocent.
