What Are Common Causes And Types Of Car Accidents?

Any action that causes a car crash is a serious hazard, and our firm has spent years representing clients who were seriously injured in crashes caused by all types of negligent and reckless behavior. We understand what it takes to secure the maximum compensation possible, no matter your situation.

  • Distracted driving – Drivers who take their eyes off the road and/or hands off the wheel are among the most dangerous hazards to everyone else on the road.
  • Drunk driving crashes – It’s legal to drive a car with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as high as 0.08 percent, but even a slight amount of alcohol can impair a driver’s ability to function at the highest level.
  • Head-on collision – Head-on collisions cause some of the most devastating injuries because of the sheer speed involved, even at low speeds, victims can suffer serious injuries. At high speeds, these crashes can easily claim the lives of anyone, and even everyone involved. These crashes are almost always caused by reckless actions, including driving under the influence, distracted driving, and road rage, but they can also be caused by poor road design.
  • Hit-and-run collisions – Driving away from a crash may be against the law, but that doesn’t stop people from attempting to avoid responsibility when they cause a serious crash.
  • Tire blowouts – The number one cause of tire blowouts is under-inflated tires, which also negatively affect the vehicle’s handling and braking ability. While tire manufacturers keep most data about tire blowouts out of the public, these companies have reported that May through October is the most common time of year for this issue to occur.
  • Wrong-way driving crash – Alcohol is the single biggest contributor to these types of crashes. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), 59 percent of drivers traveling the wrong way before the crash had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.15 percent or higher, and 69 percent of these drivers had a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher. Officials believe the actual figures are even higher, because BAC is not always recorded in fatal crashes.

What Should You Do If Involved In A Car Accident?

Be sure to observe these steps:

  • Regardless of how minor you think the auto accident is, you should always report it to the police.
  • Write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any witnesses in case you need them later, and make sure that the police officer gives you a copy of the driver exchange information form.
  • Take photographs of your vehicle and the other vehicle(s) involved as well as the injuries you sustained.
  • Call your insurance agent and your insurance company immediately for further instructions. If you do not report the automotive accident, the insurance company may deny payment of any claims that you subsequently file.
  • Finally, if involved in an automotive accident, you should call experienced Chicago car accident lawyers, such as those at Power Rogers, who has a proven record of success.

How Much Can Someone Sue For After A Car Accident In Chicago?

If you have been involved in a car accident, you may be wondering how much you can sue. The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the following:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • The amount of damage to your vehicle
  • The one at fault for the accident.

An experienced car accident lawyer in Chicago can help you determine the best course of action to take in order to maximize your compensation. If you have suffered severe injuries in a car accident, you may be able to sue for pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses. If your vehicle was damaged in the accident, you may also be able to recover the cost of repairs or replacement. If the other driver was at fault for the accident, you may be able to sue for punitive damages.
