An accident claim are won or lost based solely on the quality of evidence.
It’s important that you begin to gather evidence and preserve it after your car accident.
Evidence for a car accident may include:
A car accident lawyer will help to determine what evidence is most relevant and useful in a particular case.
Injury victims have a difficult time following a car accident, and things can become unnecessarily complicated if they do not take necessary steps to improve their condition.
Mitigation is a critical element to any car accident claim.
If you wait too long and the statute of limitations of your case expires, you may not be eligible to file a lawsuit or receive any compensation.
Always follow the advice of your car accident lawyer and a trusted medical professional during the time after your accident.
Proper steps to mitigation include:
Mitigation is an important step in building a strong, honest claim.
Damages refer to all economic and non-economic losses suffered as the result of a car accident.
A car accident lawyer will help you to determine what relevant damages you are able to claim.
Typical damages in a car accident case include:
The total damages incurred will be amount to your total compensation, which will be paid by the negligent party.
There is never a reason to admit or accept fault at the scene of a car accident.
You are not required by law to admit or accept fault.
If you are pressured to accept fault by authorities, you can invoke your right to refuse to be questioned, but it is important to always remain polite and kind.
A person who has been involved in a car accident is sometimes confused and overwhelmed.
Individuals can have a hard time recollecting what incidents actually led to an accident, sometimes resulting in taking blame for an accident, even if they were not at fault.
It’s overwhelmingly suggested to remain calm and silent, and to let a car accident lawyer handle events following the incident.
The legal concept of Shared Liability allows multiple parties to be at fault for an accident, deciding compensation in percentages.
Auto accident fault is a complex topic based on laws and situational details.
Leave the determination of fault up to to an experienced car accident lawyer and the court system.
Illinois is not a “no-fault” state, but instead follows a legal statute referred to as “comparative negligence.”
In personal injury lawsuits, negligence, or fault, determines who pays for damages after a car accident.
Comparative negligence determines how fault will be divided among the individuals involved in the lawsuit.
For example, if you are in an accident and both you and the other individual are at fault because of failure to pay attention to your surroundings, you may be responsible for 10% of the accident.
Under the comparative negligence statute, you will only be eligible to receive 90% of a settlement because you were 10% at fault for the accident.
Contact an Edwardsville car accident lawyer as soon as possible if you have any questions about your car accident case.
The statistics presented below are gathered from the most recent data, calendar year 2019, published by the Illinois Department of Transportation:
According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel, “Over 37,000 people die in car accidents each year and an additional 2.35 million are injured or disabled in the United States.”
The statistics are truly frightening – countless injuries, even death, can occur in a car accident.
Which injuries are most common in a motor vehicle accident though?
Some injuries may not be obvious immediately after a car accident, and for that reason, it is important to seek medical treatment even if you “feel fine.”
Medical professionals may find an internal injury that could have caused complications down the road had it not been treated.
Visit the following for additional information regarding common injuries from motor vehicle accidents:
Over 3,000 people were killed due to distracted driving in 2020.
In 2019, over 10,000 people were killed due to drunk driving, a top reason for car accidents in the country.
Drivers breaking the speed limit account for higher accident and fatality rates.
Speeding was a factor in over 9,000 fatal motor vehicle accidents in 2019.
Failing to signal a lane change can cause a car accident.
Always check your blind spots before merging or changing lanes.
Running a red light is an example of failing to obey traffic signals.
Failing to recognize right of way can easily lead to a car accident.
Reckless driving refers to when a motorist is aware that their negligent actions can cause harm to others on the road.
Reckless driving is associated with road rage, other dangerous maneuvers, and street racing, all of which can cause a car accident.
Inclement weather can cause a car accident.
If you have to drive in poor weather conditions, keep a safe distance from other motorists, adjust your speed, and increase stopping time.
In Illinois, all passengers must wear seat belts at all times.
Children under the age of 8 must be properly secured in a child safety seat approved by the Child Passenger Protection Act.
The responsibility of ensuring all passengers are wearing seatbelts falls on the driver.
If the driver or passengers are found to be disobeying Illinois law, they are subject to a fine and court costs.
The Illinois safety belt law went into effect on July 1, 1985, and since then, injuries and fatalities have drastically decreased.
Around the United States, seat belts saved an estimated 14,668 lives of passenger vehicle occupants aged five and older in 2016 according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Wearing a seatbelt is the most effective way to keep yourself safe in a car accident.
Seat belts save lives – fasten yours.
