Being the victim of a personal injury can turn your life upside down. Whatever the nature of the injury, it is likely to have caused considerable distress both to you and your family, resulting in additional medical costs, lost earnings and loss of enjoyment in your life. Anyone who has been injured through no fault of their own, is entitled to receive financial damages for the economic and non-economic damages that they have suffered.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, auto accidents are one of the leading causes of personal injury in the USA, with over 32,000 people dying due to motor vehicle crashes in the average year. Statistics also show that over 2 million people every year are injured as a result of car accidents, and for many of those the injuries are serious, often causing permanent, life-changing problems.

Accidents on the road involving any vehicle can be serious, but due to the nature of motorcycles and the lack of protection that riders have in comparison to drivers of cars, trucks and buses, an accident involving a motorcycle can result in much more serious injuries. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 88,000 motorcyclists were injured in 2015 and 5,286 motorcyclists were killed in 2016.

Trucks are everywhere on the Illinois roads, and with many of those who require extensive highway travel, trucks are a top vehicle choice for many drivers both in terms of size and practicality. These vehicles fit into the lifestyle of many Oak Lawn residents, but when a truck accident occurs, they are often more severe than those with other, smaller vehicles.
