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.

Final Government Report on Tragic Truck Accident a Call to Action

Posted By:

The Chicago Truck Accident Lawyers at the Lloyd Miller Law feel that the final report in the Kentucky truck accident that occurred last March is a positive message and call to action for the implement of tougher government safety regulation of the trucking industry.

Last September we reported that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) had instituted an investigation of the 2010 truck accident wherein 11 people were killed, including the driver of the truck and ten members of a Kentucky Mennonite community riding in a van on their way to a wedding.

The report found that the truck driver was using his cellphone at the time of the crash and issued further admonitions that all bus drivers and truck drivers be barred from using a cell phone while operating a vehicle. The implementation of this recommendation would be the most significant highway safety measure since mandatory seat belt usage.

The Chicago Truck Accident Lawyers at the Lloyd Miller Law applaud the recommendation of the NTSB and hope that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and all 50 states will take swift action in implementation of newer and tougher safety regulation on the commercial trucking industry.
