Car accidents can happen in a split-second. One moment a person in Illinois is stopped at a red light, or is safely driving on the freeway when suddenly they have been struck by another driver. When this happens, victims may be injured or could even lose their life.
Devastating car accidents are not limited to crashes caused by standard automobiles. Semi-truck accidents can be particular catastrophic due to the sheer size and weight of an 18-wheeler. Also, crashes involving motorcycles can lead to serious injuries or fatalities, since motorcyclists are not protected by seat belts or airbags the way motorists are.
