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.

Increased Risk of Motor Vehicle Accidents Leads to Volvo Recall

Posted By:

The Chicago and South Chicago Accident Lawyers at Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) advise all owners of these vehicles to take their cars to their Volvo dealer for inspection. Volvo will make any repairs needed without charge. Volvo Cars which is now owned by China’s Geely, is recalling the 2007 model year cars, built between March 8, 2006 and May 16, 2007 to inspect a potential problem that could cause a hose to burst at the steering gear resulting in a sudden loss of power steering, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety administration.

Volvo has estimated that 6% of the recalled cars have the defect but is presently not aware of any reports linking any accidents or injuries to this issue

We were  surprised to learn that Geely had taken over Ford Motor Company’s Volvo car unit in 2010 but glad to see that they appear to be honoring the Volvo’s reputation as a brand committed to safety.
