Automobile accidents take the lives of over 1,000 people each year on Illinois roadways—many more are seriously injured. Many of these accidents are caused by the reckless driving of others, poorly-maintained roadways and even inadequate street signs. We are experienced Illinois car accident attorneys.

Tractor-Trailer accidents are a growing problem. Excessive speeds, aggressive driving, unrealistic schedules, safety failures, and truck driver fatigue lead to thousands of injuries and hundreds of deaths of innocent motorists yearly. Unfortunately, a high percentage of these injuries and fatalities occur to individuals in passenger vehicles—not the drivers of 10,000-pound trucks.

Motorcycle Accidents are usually caused by someone other than the cyclist. The comparatively small size of motorcycles means other motorists may not see them. That’s especially a problem where the vision of other motorists may be obscured.

Boating accidents are a serious problem across the country and are especially disconcerting for those of us living in heavily-populated lake areas such as we find in Lake County, Illinois. This year nationally, thousands of people will be injured and hundreds killed in boat-related accidents. Unfortunately, most of these accidents are preventable—caused by operator inattention, careless driving, and general boating inexperience.

Aviation accidents claim the lives of hundreds of passengers, crew members and innocent people on the ground each year. Identifying the causes of commercial or private aircraft accidents, even helicopter accidents, are very complex. The actions of pilots, manufacturers, maintenance personnel and even the government can all contribute to the cause of these crashes.
