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.

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.

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.

State Farm & Auto Accidents: Your “Good Neighbor” During the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Posted By:

For victims of auto accidents, the word is “No.” In Illinois, auto accident attorneys have learned that State Farm recently circulated an internal email to all of its claims adjustors instructing each of them to only offer up to fifty percent (50%) of the full value of an injured victim’s claim. Why? Since the Coronavirus pandemic has closed the Courts (except for emergencies), State Farm is thinking that attorneys for car accident victims are “strapped for cash” and will “settle short” because they cannot push their cases to trial. So, State Farm is gambling that your accident attorney will “settle short” of full value. Ah, don’t you love your neighbor?

At Grazian & Volpe, we’re ready, willing and able to weather the storm. Our last three (3) auto accident settlements against negligent drivers who were insured by State Farm Auto Insurance Company were for State Farm’s $100,000.00 policy limits—and that’s exactly the amount we won for our clients. Nothing short. Our attorneys work hard to make sure that our clients obtain full and fair compensation and nothing less. Unlike auto accident law firms, we have the financial resources to weather the storm. We’re here to help!

This has serious implications for victims of vehicle motor accidents. If you’ve just been in a traumatic car accident and were injured, you should not have to worry about whether your attorney is going to settle short for cash. You should have the confidence that your attorney is on your side and isn’t going to settle for anything less than what you are due.
