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. When an insurance adjuster calls requesting a recorded statement, your first instinct might be to cooperate fully.

“Operation Rogue Rider” Targets Motorcyclists

Posted By:

The accident lawyers at Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) have advocated for over 25 on behalf of motorcyclists and the victims of crashes due to dangerous riders. It is important that the public discern between the two classes. We have written extensively about the difficulties in representing motorcyclists due to the public’s perception of riders as a riskier and reckless set of motor vehicle operators. We have also been careful to advise on litigation techniques for dispelling this perception. Most importantly, juries and the public need be made aware that the vast number of riders are middle-aged pre-retirement and post-retirement men and women enjoying a cheaper and more enjoyable form of touring the country.

Today’s article in the Chicago Tribune detailed an announcement by state and local police of the implementation of “Operation Rogue Rider” which targets motorcyclists who ride dangerously on the Edens Expressway through Skokie and Lincolnwood.

Officials state that they are called nightly to respond to reports of rogue riders who speed, race, ride on shoulders or improperly change lanes. The Illinois State Police will be assisted by local police during this summer long operation, using roving saturation patrols mostly during the evening and late nights.

The article reports an 85 percent increase in fatalities and a 75 percent increase in personal injuries in the first 6 month of 2012 due to motorcycle-related crashes. This amounts to 13 fatalities and 7 personal injuries during the six month period from January through June.

Chicagoland’s Injury Attorneys at Grazian and Volpe (now Lloyd Miller Law) applaud and and all efforts to keep our highways and roadways safer. However, the public needs to be reminded that distracted driving involving texting, calling or eating represents the largest threat to safety on our roads. Please remember, that most motorcyclists practice safe and conservate driving methods and should not be prejudiced by the few riders who do not.

Please refer to our articles on this website discussing “Distracted Driving” and “Motorcycle Accidents” and watch John Grazian on WCIU, You and Me in the Morning on the third Tuesday of each month where he discusses current legal and injury issues with members of the viewing public.
