Driver calling using smartphone in car is going to hit pedestrian. Parking-Lot Pedestrian Crashes
Parking lot pedestrian crashes, even at low speeds, can lead to serious injuries and high dollar claims. Although vehicles move more slowly in parking lots than on regular roads, the tight quarters where pedestrians and cars interact, along with driver distractions and flaws in parking lot design, can result in severe outcomes.
Teenage Driver Suffering Whiplash Injury Traffic Accident Rubbing Neck With Hand. rear-ended in Chicago
Rear-end collisions are not always as simple as they seem. There's a common misconception that a driver who rear-ends another vehicle is always at fault. In Illinois, this isn't necessarily true. While drivers must maintain a safe following distance and can be liable for accidents caused by failing to do so, not every rear-end collision is solely their fault. Sometimes, the driver in front may share blame.

After an accident in Chicago, you're likely dealing with physical pain, property damage, and mounting stress.

New Tool in the War on Texting and Driving

Posted By:

Your Chicago Injury Attorneys at Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) make a good living from the negligence of those who text and drive and cause car accidents and truck accidents. However, we would certainly prefer our clients and the general public stay safe and avoid personal injury. We may be lawyers but we still are humans!

I just spent 20 hours driving cross country to get my youngest daughter off to her first year of college. My wife and I witnessed  many car drivers of cars and trucks who were texting while driving at speeds well over 60 miles per hour. The majority of these drivers were truck drivers. It was so prolific that we started a car game competition to see who could spot the most truck drivers texting. Unfortunately, we found most truck drivers were texting and the competition was to find the drivers that were not texting! Studies show that this is more dangerous than drinking while driving and more likely to cause serious personal injury and wrongful death. Yet texting while driving appears to be on the increase.

I was very pleased to see a recent article in Investor’s Business Daily which reported the invention of a new deivice designed to prevent this dangerous practice. Anna University researchers in India have found a way to detect when someone is texting, and then jam the phone. The device uses a radio-frequency identification chip to find out if the vehicle is moving and whether the driver is texting. Unlike similiar devices, this technology can tell the driver from a passenger and jam only the driver’s phone.

On the highways and in South Chicago we have a huge amount of truck traffic. Your Chicagoland Accident Lawyers at Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) beg that you drive defensively and be aware of drivers who are texting while driving. Remember, it is always better to stay safe, but if you can’t stay safe, stay with Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law), your Chicago and South Chicago accident lawyers for over 30 years!
