Car accidents occur thousands of times each year, and the vast majority of these accidents are preventable. Negligent driving, dangerous roadways, and design flaws can all contribute to a car crash. Individuals who are involved in auto accidents sustain physical, mental, and property damages. The at-fault party should be held responsible for their actions, and the most effective way to seek justice is to contact an experienced Illinois car accident attorney.
