Car crash from car accident on the road in a city. Minor Car Accidents Can Still Lead to Major Injuries
Minor car accidents can still lead to major injuries in Chicago because your body isn’t designed to handle even the sudden jolt of a low-impact collision. The forces involved in minor crashes can make your body move in unnatural ways that cause severe injuries, especially if you weren’t braced for the impact. Insurance companies often downplay these injuries. Understanding why and how injuries occur in low-speed crashes can help ensure you protect your health and legal rights.
Damaged in car accident vehicle on city street crash site. Why Car Accident Evidence Disappears
Knowing why car accident evidence disappears, and how to preserve it, is the first step in protecting your rights. Weather conditions can wash away tire marks and debris, surveillance systems automatically delete or overwrite footage after set periods, and witnesses may become unreliable or unavailable over time. When crucial evidence from your Chicago car accident case vanishes, it can undermine your claim and affect your compensation. While you focus on recovering from your injuries and managing medical treatment, a car accident lawyer can employ legal tools to preserve this essential evidence before it's lost forever. Acting swiftly to protect evidence creates a strong foundation for your case and could significantly impact your outcome.
Big red truck and a stop sign. Liable in a Chicago Delivery Truck Accident
When a delivery truck driver causes an accident in Chicago, the truck driver or the delivery company is generally the party liable for the accident. Whether the driver is an employee of the delivery company and what the driver was doing when the crash happened will affect who you can hold liable in a Chicago delivery truck accident. Depending on circumstances, other third parties, such as the owner of the vehicle, the vehicle’s manufacturer, and cargo loaders, may also be liable.
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.
