Young man working on his car engine. negligent car maintenance
Negligent car maintenance is one of the top causes of car accidents in Chicago, Illinois. Negligently maintained cars are likely to have malfunctioned headlights, faulty brakes, worn tires, and faulty steering. These maintenance issues may make the vehicle difficult to control, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Car parking in the supermarket complex in the evening. parking lot accidents
Drivers on thoroughfare lanes, the primary roads running through lots, have the right of way over other drivers in Illinois parking lots. So, the vehicles entering the thoroughfare lanes from feeder roads and those reversing from parking spaces are often liable in the event of an accident. Additionally, the Illinois vehicle code prioritizes pedestrian safety in parking lots. Drivers must give way to the pedestrians, even when they are in unmarked crosswalks. The input of an experienced car accident lawyer is instrumental in determining who is to blame for parking lot accidents and ensuing injuries.
Fragments of a broken motorcycle on the pavement. helmet laws in Illinois
What are the helmet laws in Illinois? Illinois doesn't currently have helmet laws in place for motorcyclists, meaning these laws won't directly have an impact on an accident case. However, your decision to avoid wearing a helmet could still affect the outcome of your case, as this gear can greatly reduce the risk of injuries.
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.

In a Motorcycle Accident? Let Your Helmet Call for Help!

Posted By:

After a motorcyle accident or bicycle accident, your helmet can call for help through a sensor which will be available in 2013. When the ICEdot Crash sensor detects an accident, it will send a message complete with GPS coordinates to the user’s emergency contacts via a smartphone application.

The device is expected to cost around $200 and we consider that a pittance compared to the piece of mind it will give those who ride alone.

Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) is always happy to report innovations in roadway safety. Given the propensity of bikers to be knocked unconscious during accidents, we think this new sensor could be a life-saver.

Remember-it is always best to stay safe, but if you can’t stay safe, stay with Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law), Chicagoland’s Injury Lawyers for over 30 years.
