Causes of Northern Illinois Auto Accidents

Negligent motorists cause hundreds of accidents every day all across the area. Many drivers are distracted or fatigued, while others are impaired by a legal or illegal substance. Careless motorists may also ignore traffic control devices, posted speed limits, and other rules of the road. Many more do not fully account for adverse conditions, such as rain, snow, ice, fog, or darkness.

These and other contributing factors cause a wide variety of vehicle collisions, including:

• Rear-end collisions
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• CTA and bus accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• DUI-related accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• School bus collisions
• Recreational vehicle collisions

Injuries in these types of collisions can include traumatic injuries like broken bones and severe lacerations, as well as internal injuries, such as a collapsed lung or serious hemorrhaging.

Personal Injury Solutions

Our attorneys nearly always begin by aggressively pursuing a negotiated settlement, because this method is typically more cost-effective than litigation. Sometimes, the parties may work together to arrive at an agreed resolution over time, and other times there may be a formal mediation or arbitration procedure.

If the defendant does not offer fair compensation for all your losses, we do not hesitate to file suit in court. Then, we are your strong advocates in all preliminary hearings, the discovery process, and the trial itself. In both these cases, damages may include compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. Punitive damages may also be available in some cases. This money helps you and your family establish some measure of closure and move forward in life.

Injured victims have lots of questions. At Salvi & Maher, LLP, we do not profess to have all the answers, but we are well-positioned to make you and your family as whole as possible.
