Common Types and Causes of Car Accidents in Chicago

In the state of Chicago, there are a few common types and causes of car accidents. By better understanding the different types and causes, you can determine whether you can claim compensation.

Car-on-car accidents: With this type of auto accident, there are different subcategories. First, there are merge accidents where two cars are trying to merge into the same lane. Then there are head-on and side crashes, which are usually the result of drunk driving and distracted driving. Additionally, there are also rear-end collisions, which often occur due to tailgating.
Car versus motorcycle accidents: These accidents can result in serious injury and even death to motorcyclists. This type of auto accident usually occurs when either party is speeding, distracted, or driving recklessly. However, this type of accident could also happen when the drivers are merely changing lanes.
Auto accidents involving cars and semi-trucks: One of the most serious forms of auto accidents in Chicago involves cars and semi-trucks. This type of accident happens regularly. Even though trucks come equipped with specialized braking systems, accidents still occur. Often, truck drivers are speeding or fail to pay attention, which leads to accidents.

How Can a Chicago Auto Accident Lawyer Help You With Your Vehicle Accident Claim?

During an auto accident case, the evidence is crucial. Any evidence that is lost or destroyed could impact your compensation claim. A lawyer can aid you in collecting the following evidence:

Assist with collecting the police accident report.
Help you obtain the images and CCTV footage of the accident.
Assist you in getting eyewitness statements.
Obtaining relevant medical and work records.
Attaining any cell phone records.

To claim compensation, your car accident needs to meet two set criteria. The accident needs to be wholly or partially the fault of a third party’s negligence, and the accident needs to have caused you or a family member physical injuries. The type of compensation you can claim depends on many factors, which is why it’s best to consult an attorney to determine what you can claim for.
