Car Accidents and Traumatic Brain Injuries: Why Settlements Are Often Higher
Settlements for car accident cases involving traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) tend to be higher due to the extensive medical care needed, income loss, emotional toll the injuries have on victims, and long-lasting effects that victims may face. The higher compensation amounts for car accidents and traumatic brain injuries reflect the considerable health and financial consequences of these injuries.

Shared Fault in Illinois Car Accidents: How Comparative Negligence Affects Your Case
Comparative negligence determines how fault is shared among the parties in an accident. Illinois follows a comparative negligence standard known as modified comparative negligence, which determines whether you can recover compensation after a car accident and how much you can recover, based on your assigned percentage of fault. Understanding how comparative negligence works and its implications is key to protecting your rights and maximizing compensation.

Low-Speed, High-Impact: Why Minor Car Accidents Can Still Lead to Major Injuries in Chicago
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.

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.
