Car accident claims are personal injury cases that arise when a motor vehicle collision causes physical injuries, property damage, or death due to another driver’s negligence. Illinois follows a modified comparative fault system — you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. Common causes of car accidents in Central Illinois include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, running red lights, drunk driving, and adverse weather conditions on Interstate 72, Route 51, and local Decatur roads. Recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and future medical care. Under the Illinois statute of limitations (735 ILCS 5/13-202), car accident victims have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit.
Car accidents happen. Sometimes, a car accident injures some of the people involved, causing injured parties to suffer financial expenses in addition to physical, mental, and emotional injuries.
If you have been injured in a car accident, you deserve to be compensated from the at fault driver. An experienced car accident lawyer can help you hold the responsible driver liable, while obtaining the compensation that you deserve.
