Even with better safety standards, auto technology advances, and an abundance of public awareness campaigns — car crashes are still incredibly common.
Many vehicle accidents are preventable, and most are due to human error.
These are the most common causes of car accidents in the United States:
Distracted Driving
Distracted driving is the number one cause of auto accidents.
Distracted driving has become more common with drivers being more occupied with texting, phone calls, food, and other distractions.
Even a split-second of inattention behind the wheel can have severe, or even fatal, consequences.
Impaired Driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs is very dangerous, and it’s against the law in every state.
Impaired driving is still a leading cause of vehicle accident injuries and deaths.
Excessive Speeding
Excessive speed is the second most common cause of auto accidents.
Drivers often ignore speed limits, especially on highways, which gives them less reaction time and less control of their cars.
Reckless Driving
Reckless driving refers to scenarios in which a driver ignores traffic signals and laws, carelessly handle his or her vehicle, or drives over aggressively.
This can result from road rage, overall carelessness, or just a lack of situational awareness.
Bad Weather Conditions
Drivers need to take additional precautions when driving in the rain, snow, ice, fog, or extreme wind.
Accidents are common during bad weather, especially when drivers don’t maintain safe distances from other vehicles, don’t adjust speed appropriately, don’t increase stopping time, or try to arrive at their destinations too quickly.
“Seat belts save lives,” isn’t just a tagline — it’s the truth. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that seat belts saved the lives of 14,668 U.S. passenger vehicle occupants in 2016.
Wearing a seatbelt is the safest thing to do, and it’s also the law.
Illinois legally requires that all vehicle occupants, regardless of seating position, use a properly fastened and adjusted safety belt.
The driver is responsible for ensuring that all passengers wear seatbelts, and failure to do so results in fines starting at $25.
The Child Passenger Protection Act requires that all children 8 years and younger be properly secured in a child safety seat approved by the CPPA.
For more information about child seat standards and seat belt laws, penalties, and exemptions, visit Buckle Up Illinois.
As mentioned earlier, most auto accidents are due to driver error or negligence.
This means that a lot of accidents are preventable, and there are steps you can take to maximize your safety on the road.
Here are steps you can take while driving to prevent auto accidents:
If you’re in an auto accident, preparation will make the situation easier to handle. Here are the five steps to take after a vehicle accident:
1. Do Not Drive Away
Never, ever drive away after an accident. It is illegal and it will make your situation worse.
Instead, shift your car into park, turn off the engine, and turn on the hazard lights. Establish a safe path out of harm’s way before you exit the vehicle.
2. Contact the Police and Medical Professionals
If your accident is an emergency, call 9-1-1 to alert authorities and medical personnel.
If the cars are not blocking traffic and no one is injured, call the Joliet Police Department’s non-emergency number at 815-726-2491 and report your accident.
Follow police and medical personnel’s instructions.
3. Document the Accident and Alert Your Insurance Company
It’s crucial to document your accident beyond a police report.
Take pictures of any damages and the road where your accident occurred.
Take detailed notes on how the accident happened, the date, and the time.
Write down names, numbers, license plates, and insurance information of all parties involved, but do not admit fault (read on to learn more). Do not sign any documents unless they are from police or medical personnel.
Contact your insurance company when you are able to do so.
4. Track All Medical Expenses and Treatments
If you are injured, ensure you receive proper medical attention and care. Keep track of all medical billing expenses and treatments along the way.
This will help your car accident lawyer and/or insurance agent guarantee you gain the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
5. Hire an Experienced Joliet Car Accident Lawyer
Finding an experienced car accident lawyer will help ensure your case is as strong as possible.
Legal representation increases your chances of gaining full compensation for damages including medical expenses, lost wages, and auto damage.
Be aware of Illinois’ two-year statute of limitations and file your claim on time.
Contact TorHoerman Law today to learn more about working with our experienced car accident lawyers and personal injury lawyers.
If you’re involved in a Joliet auto accident, it’s important to contact emergency services and find quality medical care and treatment.
There is no reason to ever admit or accept fault at the scene of an accident (liability).
Even if you believe you could be at fault, do not admit fault.
Auto accident fault is complex and rests on a variety of situational details and laws.
There is also a good chance the other parties are partially at fault. Leave the determination to legal professionals.
If you do claim fault, the other parties can use this as a reference in future hearings, arbitrations, and deliberations.
If you feel you are being pressured to admit fault, stay calm, and re-affirm your rights to refuse to be questioned.
Again, do not admit fault, and let your car accident attorney handle the situation.
At TorHoerman Law, we have a team of experienced Joliet car accident lawyers available to help you receive compensation for your damages.
We offer free consultations for all potential clients, and our legal services are based on contingency fees.
This means none of our clients pay until we have helped them receive compensation.
