Any alcohol is too much to drive.
The safest way to get home after a night of drinking is to call a designated driver or someone else who hasn’t been drinking.
Never get behind the wheel of a vehicle while intoxicated.
TorHoerman Law has offices in Chicago, IL, Edwardsville, IL, St Louis, MO, and Philadelphia, PA.
However, our firm represents clients across Illinois and in all 50 states.
Vehicle accidents are common in Arlington Heights, Cook County, the greater Chicago area, and Illinois.
In fact, Cook County has the highest frequency of auto accidents in the state.
The following statistics outline the frequency and severity of these accidents:
Even with advances in technology, numerous public awareness campaigns, and increased safety standards — automobile accidents are still common.
Many car accidents are preventable, and most are caused by human error.
These are the most common causes of car accidents in the United States:
Distracted driving is the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents.
Distracted driving has become increasingly common as drivers are more occupied with phone calls, texts, food, makeup, and other distractions instead of being focused on the road.
Even just a split-second of distraction behind the wheel can have severe, and even fatal, consequences.
Driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol is not only against the law in every state – it’s incredibly dangerous.
Impaired driving remains one of the United States’ leading causes of automobile accident injuries and fatalities.
Driving at excessive speeds is the second most common cause of car crashes in the United States.
Drivers frequently disregard legal speed limits, especially while on highways.
This gives them less control over their cars and less time to react.
Reckless driving describes instances when a driver ignores traffic signals and laws carelessly handle his or her car or drive too aggressively.
Reckless driving is often associated with road rage, carelessness, and a lack of situational awareness.
Drivers need to take extra precautions when driving in the rain, ice, snow, fog, or heavy winds.
Car accidents are more common in these conditions, especially when drivers do not adjust speeds, fail to account for necessary increased stopping time, do not maintain a safe distance from other cars, or drive in a hurry.
Drivers and passengers can be seriously injured in automobile accidents.
In fact, 31,404 crashes in Cook County in 2018 resulted in injuries.
The most common automobile accident injuries are:
Auto accident injuries range from minor to severe, and it’s important to seek proper medical attention after any car accident.
Some accident injuries are not immediately recognizable and can develop into something more serious later on.
Certified medical professionals are better at recognizing internal or less-discernible injuries that could lead to complications if left untreated.
“Seat belts save lives,” is more than just a tagline — it’s the truth.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimated that seat belts saved 14,668 American automobile occupants’ lives in 2016.
Wearing a seat belt is the safest choice, and it’s the law.
The state of Illinois requires all automobile occupants, regardless of their seating position, to wear a properly fastened and adjusted seat belt.
The driver is responsible for ensuring that all passengers are wearing seatbelts, and failing to obey this law can lead to fines starting at $25.
The Child Passenger Protection Act (CPPA) requires that all children 8 years and younger be properly seated in a CPPA-approved child safety seat.
For additional information about child safety seat requirements and seat belt laws, exemptions, and penalties, visit Buckle Up Illinois.
As mentioned earlier, the majority of car and truck accidents are due to human error or negligence.
This means that many accidents can be prevented, and there are precautions drivers should take to maximize the safety and well-being of themselves and others on the road.
Here are precautions that drivers can take to help prevent automobile accidents:
If you’re involved in an automobile accident, being prepared makes the situation easier to deal with.
Here are the five steps to take after an automobile accident:
Stop! Do Not Drive Away
Never drive away after an auto accident.
It will make your situation worse, and it’s against the law.
Instead, shift your vehicle into park, turn off its engine, and turn on the hazard lights.
Establish a safe path that is out of the hazard zone before exiting your vehicle.
Alert the Police and Medical Personnel
If your accident is an emergency, call 9-1-1 to alert the authorities and for medical treatment.
If no one is injured and the vehicles are not blocking traffic, call the Arlington Heights Police Department non-emergency number at 847-368-5300 and report the accident.
Follow any instructions given by police and medical personnel.
Document Your Accident and Contact Your Insurance Company
It’s important to document your accident details beyond the police report.
Take photos of any damages and the road where the accident occurred.
Take detailed notes that describe the date, time, and how the accident happened.
Take down the names, phone numbers, insurance information, and license plate number of anyone involved, but do not admit fault (read on to learn why).
Do not sign any documents unless you are required to by police or authorized personnel.
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible.
Track All Medical Expenses and Treatments
If you are injured in the accident, make sure to receive adequate medical attention and care.
Keep track of all of your medical treatments and expenses along the way.
This will help your Arlington Heights car accident lawyer and/or insurance company guarantee that you receive full compensation for your injuries.
Hire an experienced Arlington Heights Car Accident Lawyer

There is no reason that you should ever accept or admit fault at the scene of an auto accident.
Even if you believe you are to blame, do not admit fault.
Defining auto accident fault is complex and based on many situational laws and details, and it’s possible the other party is also at fault.
An Arlington Heights car accident lawyer will be tasked will proving that your injury is due to the negligence of a third party.
If you do admit liability for the accident, the other party can use it against you in future deliberations, hearings, and arbitrations.
If you feel pressured to admit fault, remain calm, and politely state your right to refuse to question.
Again, do not admit fault, and let your car accident attorney handle your situation.
