Chicago Uber & Lyft Laws: Who Pays After a Crash?
Under Chicago Uber & Lyft laws, who pays after an accident depends on the status of the driver’s app. If the app is on, the rideshare company’s liability policy pays. If the app is off, the driver’s personal insurance covers damages and losses arising from the accident. If another driver was liable, that driver’s insurer will be responsible for covering the arising costs and losses.

Proving Fault in Chicago Intersection Accidents: When Drivers Blame Each Other
The Illinois modified comparative negligence law is instrumental in determining fault in Chicago intersection accidents. This rule apportions a percentage of liability to each driver involved in an accident. A driver who committed a traffic violation by failing to yield to oncoming traffic, speeding through a red light, or failing to maintain a safe driving distance may be found liable. Anyone whose fault is above 50% is barred from recovering damages.

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.

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.
