Data compiled by the Illinois Department of Transportation states traffic fatalities throughout the state declined in the second half of 2012. According to Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider, an electronic highway message board and social media campaign aimed at alerting drivers to the number of crash deaths helped raise public awareness and may have encouraged drivers to be more careful. Schneider stated it is unclear whether the safety campaign had a direct effect on the rate of Illinois traffic deaths. Still, she believes it may have contributed to a seven month trend in fewer motor vehicle accident fatalities that purportedly began in the latter half of 2012.

Although traffic deaths increased over the previous year by 17 percent from January through July 2012, fatality rates reportedly decreased after the message board campaign began on July 5th. Between July 5th and December 31st, 478 people died on Illinois roadways. Meanwhile, 500 individuals were killed during the same period in 2011.

Despite the campaign, overall accident fatalities in Illinois in 2012 reportedly increased by four percent over the previous year. In 2011, 918 people were killed in 835 Illinois traffic collisions. In 2012, that number rose to 957 dead in 887 separate crashes. In addition, motorcycle driver deaths allegedly increased by more than 15 percent in 2012. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, 243 of the 887 fatal accidents in the state last year occurred in Cook County. That number rose from 213 in 2011.

Illinois officials stated the traffic fatality warning messages would continue throughout 2013. Sadly, three people were killed in an Illinois collision during the first week of the New Year. In 2012, however, 15 traffic fatalities occurred across the state during the same time period.

Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that fatal motor vehicle crashes are three times more likely to occur at night than during the day. About half of all traffic deaths across the country happen when it is dark outside despite that only about one-fourth of all vehicle miles are driven at night. Speeding, alcohol-related, and single-vehicle wrecks are also reportedly more likely to take place at night. If you lost a loved one in a Chicago motor vehicle crash, you may be entitled to recover funeral and other expenses by filing a wrongful death claim.

The Lockport Township was recently forced to come to grips with the second death of a 16-year-old high school student in less than three months. According to the Will County Coroner’s Office, a 16-year-old cheerleader and honors student was killed when the automobile she was driving was involved in a wreck with a pick-up truck at the intersection of Division Street and Cedar Road in Lockport. Emergency rescue crews allegedly transported the injured girl to Silver Cross Hospital where she was pronounced dead. The fatal crash reportedly occurred just miles away from Lockport High School where the Homer Glen teen was a junior.

The exact cause of the deadly accident is currently under investigation by local police. It is unclear whether the 49-year-old driver of the pick-up was injured. In September, a classmate was also killed in a similar automobile collision. In that accident, another 16-year-old reportedly died near the intersection of Lauffer and Haas roads in Homer Glen. According to at least one fellow student, the recent teen crash deaths have hit home and some claim to be paying more attention to their driving habits.

According to the nation’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, motor vehicle collisions kill more teenagers than any other cause of death throughout the country. On average, seven young people in the United States between the ages of 16 and 19 were killed in a car crash every day in 2010. During the same year, nearly 300,000 teenagers were injured in a motor vehicle wreck. In addition, teenagers are three times more likely to die in a car crash than individuals who are over the age of 20. Male teens are allegedly twice as likely to be killed in a car wreck as female teens. Sadly, most of these deaths are unnecessary and preventable.

Illinois graduated driver license laws were implemented in an effort to increase safety for young drivers and passengers. For the first year, Illinois drivers who are under the age of 18 may not operate an automobile with more than one passenger who is under the age of 20 and not an immediate relative in the vehicle. Before obtaining an operator’s license in Illinois, all teen motorists must also complete an approved driver education course. In addition, drivers under the age of 18 may not drive on Illinois roadways during certain hours.

Although all vehicles manufactured or sold in the United States must meet rigorous federal safety standards, the occupants of some motor vehicle models are reportedly more likely to be injured in a car accident than others. According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, some automobiles tend to protect passengers better than others in a crash. The organization recently ranked model year 2009 through 2011 motor vehicles based on the frequency of personal injury insurance claims filed following a collision. Not entirely surprising, the occupants of many small cars allegedly fared the worst when an accident occurred. Despite the Highway Loss Data Institute data, small cars are reportedly selling quickly due at least in part to recent high gasoline prices.

According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, the Toyota Yaris had the highest personal injury claim rate of all vehicles travelling on roads throughout the nation. Other small cars like the Nissan Versa, Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, and Suzuki SX4 also allegedly fared poorly for passenger safety. Institute data suggests larger vehicles like full-size pick-up trucks and sport utility vehicles generally have fewer crash-related personal injury claims. The organization’s Senior Vice-President, Kim Hazelbaker, said personal injury claim data tends to illustrate which vehicles are better at protecting passengers from harm. She also stated such claim frequencies tend to demonstrate that smaller vehicles are not as good at protecting automobile occupants as larger vehicles. In addition, high-performance cars also reportedly have a higher than average number of personal injury claims following a wreck. Some believe this is because such vehicles allegedly attract more aggressive drivers.

The Highway Loss Data Institute is an organization that is supported by the insurance industry. It is affiliated with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety which performs annual crash tests on new motor vehicles. The Institute maintains a national database related to personal injury, collision, property damage, and comprehensive insurance claims. The information is then reportedly adjusted to control for the gender and age of a motorist as well as the location of a crash and insurance policy deductibles. According to the organization, insurance claim information is useful to consumers who are shopping for a new vehicle because drivers can take into account both safety and insurance rates prior to making a purchase.

Chicago Metro residents tend to spend a lot of time in their vehicles. Unfortunately, accidents are bound to occur with so many drivers on the road. Automobile collisions may be caused by many factors including motorist inattention, carelessness, or impairment. If you were hurt in a car accident that was caused by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to receive financial compensation for any injuries you incurred as a result of the crash. A committed car accident lawyer can help you file your personal injury claim.

Recently, some vehicle manufacturers began installing cameras and radar designed to help drivers maintain a safe distance from other cars on the roadway. Soon, new technology may allow motorists to see other pedestrians, bicyclists, and other cars around a corner or on the other side of a hill. According to a Senior Researcher in General Motors’ Perception and Vehicle Control Systems Group, Don Grimm, a form of Wi-Fi may soon afford drivers with an opportunity to avoid more automobile accidents.

Vehicle-to-vehicle Wi-Fi technology would reportedly allow cars to communicate with and avoid one another without a network. In addition, roadside sensors that incorporate Wi-Fi technology may also be able to provide drivers with information regarding current roadway conditions, accident locations, traffic snarls, traffic signal status, and more. Grimm stated in-vehicle Wi-Fi has an advantage over radar and cameras because wireless technology can see and communicate in every direction.

As part of an automobile Wi-Fi pilot program, researchers at the University of Michigan recently joined forces with the United States Department of Transportation and eight vehicle manufacturers to test sensors in more than 3,000 automobiles in Ann Arbor Michigan. In addition, 29 roadside sensors were installed throughout the city. The data collected will reportedly be used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in order to determine whether to pursue motor vehicle Wi-Fi technology through legislative or other measures.

Similarly, General Motors recently began installing a pedestrian-detection application, Wi-Fi Direct, in select models of cars. The technology allows motorists to connect with pedestrians who have downloaded a smartphone application that runs whenever their cellular telephone is turned on. The application then alerts motorists with Wi-Fi Direct in their vehicles to the presence of those pedestrians. Although the technology is reportedly only capable of connecting to devices that are within about 650 feet of one another, the technology is reportedly designed for use primarily in urban areas such as Chicago.

Hopefully, new technologies will eventually reduce the often catastrophic injuries sustained by pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, and passengers who are involved in a crash with an automobile. Although the Illinois Vehicle Code requires all motorists to drive with care and stop for pedestrians who are crossing the street, accidents still happen. Inattentive, distracted, reckless, or simply negligent drivers cause thousands of car wrecks every year. In 2011 alone, nearly 1,000 individuals in Illinois and more than 200 people in Cook County were killed in an avoidable motor vehicle collision. If you were the victim of a car accident that was caused by another driver, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your damages. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you protect your rights.

Not every personal injury case settles without a fight and we often have to go to court or arbitration to obtain the best results for our clients.

This claim arises out of an automobile collision which took place on September 11, 2011 at approximately 1:29 a.m. Our client was injured when the automobile she was riding in was involved in a collision. The at fault motorist, who was uninsured, was driving the plaintiff.

Our client had her own policy of insurance so our law office pursued an uninsured motorist claim.

The vehicle was traveling eastbound on Sibley Boulevard in Calumet City, Illinois, approaching its intersection with Madison. The driver failed to yield while attempting to turn left into a restaurant driveway just before the intersection with Madison when it was not clear to do so. His car was struck by a westbound vehicle. The force of the impact was strong enough to jerk our client forward and backward in her seat.

The Calumet City Police Department responded to the scene of the collision. After speaking with both parties, the police determined the driver of the plaintiff’s vehicle was at fault for the collision.

Following the accident, the plaintiff had an immediate onset of neck and back pain.

She sought treatment from John H. Stroger Hospital’s Emergency Department the same day as the collision. At the Emergency Department, a history was taken, she was examined, and diagnostic tests were performed. She complained of back pain that was worse on her left side and radiated to her upper back. On exam, she had muscle tenderness over her cervical and lumbosacral spine. She was diagnosed with a back sprain/strain, prescribed pain medication, and instructed to seek follow up care.

Due to ongoing and increasing pain, the client sought follow up treatment with a doctor on September 27, 2011. At that time she continued to complain of constant neck pain and back pain that interfered with her ability to work and sleep. A history was taken and she was examined. She had limited range of motion in her cervical and lumbosacral spine, tenderness to the touch in her neck, upper shoulders, and back, and muscle spasms. She also had some point tenderness and pain to both sacroiliac joints. She was diagnosed with lumbar spine strain/sprain, cervical spine strain/sprain, insomnia, and stress and anxiety related to her other injuries.

Abels & Annes work on car accident cases on a regular basis. This week we resolved a claim out of court. The accident occurred on February 24, 2012 at approximately 2:41 p.m. The plaintiff was injured when an inattentive caused a multiple car collision.

Our client was a passenger in a vehicle driven by a friend. The car was traveling westbound on Cermak Road in Berwyn, Illinois. As they approached the intersection with Grove Avenue, they signaled to turn left and came to a stop, waiting for traffic to clear. The vehicle behind the plaintiff’s came to a stop as well.

The defendant was also driving westbound on Cermak Road. The driver failed to slow and/or stop his vehicle and struck a vehicle in front of him, which in turn caused a collision with our vehicle. The force of the collision was significant.

Our office often deals with rear-end accidents. This type of crash can occur when a driver is following too close, or is not paying attention or is distracted by something like a cell phone call or a text.

The Berwyn Police Department responded to the scene of the collision. After speaking with all parties, the responding officer determined the defendant was at fault for failing to reduce his speed to avoid a crash. The responding officer issued a citation for driving too fast for conditions.

Following the collision, the client had an immediate onset of neck and back pain.

Shortly after the collision, she sought treatment at Westlake Hospital’s Emergency Department. Upon arrival at the Emergency Department, a history was taken and she was examined. She complained of back pain that radiated to her head. Doctors examined her and ordered several tests, including x-rays of her cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spines. Her x-rays revealed straightening of the normal cerical lordosis of her spine. Due to excruciating pain and tenderness in her abdomen, doctors ordered an emergency CT scan of her pelvis, which was negative. She was prescribed pain medication and was diagnosed with neck and back sprain and strain. She was instructed to seek follow up medical care and was discharged.

Unfortunately, the client’s pain did not subside. She sought follow up treatment from a doctor on March 2, 2012 where she complained of sharp pains in her neck and back with some headaches and pain between her shoulder blades. Her pain was significant and prevented her from sleeping. She could not sit or stand for more than a few minutes without pain and discomfort, a condition noted by the physician during his examination. She also experienced instances where her entire back would spasm and cause serious pain. A history was taken and she was examined. It was noted that she was in distress and had marked tenderness to palpation over the entire course of her cervical, thoracic, and lumbar paraspinal musculature, as well as tenderness to her bilateral trapezuis muscles. She also had reduced range of motion in her cervical and lumbar spines. She was diagnosed with severe whiplash, muscle spasms, lumbar facet syndrome, and thoracic strain/sprain. Pain medication was prescribed and she was instructed to begin a course of therapy.

Pursuant to doctor’s instructions, she began a course of therapy at in March, 2012. She engaged in activities designed to return her to her pre-collision condition and allow her to return to work with limited pain. She engaged in twenty (20) sessions before being discharged in May.

The plaintiff was discharged having reached maximum medical improvement.

The claim settled out of court for just over $18,500, saving our client the cost of litigation. Our office had previously settled the claim of another passenger in the car for just over $7,200.

Injury lawyers from Abels & Annes have reached a $20,000 insurance policy limits settlement with a defendant’s insurance carrier, and we are now pursuing a greater amount with an underinsured motorist claim.

This type of case happens very frequently in the State of Illinois. Sometimes a negligent driver carries auto insurance as required by law, but unfortunately $20,000 (Illinois minimum coverage) is not enough to fairly compensate an accident victim for his or her damages.

After recovering a defendant’s insurance policy limits, our office next explores an underinsured motorist claim. If our client carries a larger insurance policy, we will pursue funds under said insurance policy.

In the case below, we will be going after our clients own $100,000 policy.

This claim arises out of an automobile collision which took place in February, 2012. Our client operated her motor vehicle with her headlights on, the roadway was lit by street lights, the road was straight and flat and visibility was good.

She operated her motor vehicle southbound on Wolf Road, in North Lake, Illinois, approaching its intersection with Fullerton. The defendant operated his motor vehicle northbound on Wolf Road approaching its intersection with Fullerton. Both the north and south bound lanes of Wolf Road had a green light. My client was traveling at approximately 35 miles per hour.

The other driver failed to exercise due caution and proceeded to make a left turn in front of my client’s motor vehicle to go westbound on Fullerton when it was not safe to do so. The plaintiff applied her brakes but was unable to stop her motor vehicle and a collision occurred. At the time of the collision the client was wearing her safety belt and had both hands on the steering wheel. Upon impact she was thrown about in her seat belt and her airbag deployed striking her in the face and torso. The force of the impact of the collision injured her.

Both of the automobiles were towed from the scene of the occurrence.

The at fault driver failed to yield the right of way when making a left turn, failed to keep a proper lookout, failed to stop for oncoming traffic, failed to exercise due caution when making a left turn, and failed to exercise due care for the safety of those in the area.

Following the collision the plaintiff had a swollen lip with abrasion, right arm bruising and minor discomfort in her abdomen along the pelvis. She was transported to the Gottlieb Memorial Hospital Emergency Department via ambulance where she complained of headache, swelling and pain in her arm and lip. A CT scan was taken of her head to evaluate for trauma and x-rays were taken of her right arm and pelvis. She was prescribed Vicodin for pain and instructed to stay home from work the following day and seek follow-up care with a physician.

Over the next week our client noticed her symptoms worsened rather than improved and in February, 2012, she sought treatment with the doctor she was referred to. She complained of neck pain, headaches and left shoulder pain. A history was taken, she was examined, and diagnostic tests were performed. She was diagnosed with cervical strain, thoracic strain and left shoulder entrapment. She was given prescriptions for Naproxen and Flexeril and instructed to begin a course of physical therapy.

The plaintiff began physical therapy in February. Her most prominent complaint was of pain in her left shoulder. While she was undergoing physical therapy, she continued to follow up with her physician. At the end of February an MRI of the left shoulder was ordered due to her continued complaints of pain.

The scan showed a left shoulder partial supraspinatus tear and left shoulder strain and she was then sent for orthopedic evaluation.

In April, she saw an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation. A history was taken, she was examined, and diagnostic tests were performed. She complained of sharp and aching pain in her left shoulder which radiated down her arm. She was advised to continue physical therapy and return in four weeks for evaluation.

She underwent 33 physical therapy sessions. In May, 2012 it was determined that she has reached maximum medical recovery and she was discharged from care and given a plan of home physical therapy.

Medical expenses incurred by our client for treatment of the injuries she suffered as a result of the negligence of the defendant were over $18,000.

Despite the treatment she has undergone, she continues to suffer from intermittent pain and discomfort in her left shoulder. This pain has greatly affected her life. As a result of her injuries she is unable to engage in many activities she enjoyed prior to the collision, and those activities she can engage in cause her pain and she cannot participate as she did prior to the collision.

Her pain is aggravated by heavy lifting, repetitious activities, and sleeping positions. Any activities that involves turning, twisting, or bending at the shoulder area can be difficult and painful. Furthermore simple activities such as household chores, shopping and a wide variety of activities of daily living are limited and painful.

For the second time in recent weeks a Chicago car accident lawyer at Abels & Annes has reached a personal injury settlement on behalf of a local resident who was injured by his or her own spouse’s negligence. When our office handles this type of case I always feel it is important to call attention to the matter. This is because when an accident is caused by a husband or a wife and his or her spouse is injured, many people believe that there is no claim to be made. This is not true.

If you are injured in an accident due to the negligence of your husband or wife, our office can present an uninsured motorist claim on your behalf. Over the last several weeks our office has recovered $35,000 in one case and $80,000 in another.

In one of the claims, we reached a $25,000 insurance policy limits settlement for a wife who was injured by her husband’s negligence in a collision. In addition to the $25,000, we were able to collect $10,000 in medical payments under the insurance policy.

The collision occurred back on January 29, 2011 at approximately 8:22 AM in Melrose Park, Illinois. Our client was injured while riding as a passenger in a vehicle driven by her husband. At the time of the accident she was seven months pregnant.

The Melrose Park Police Department responded to the scene of the accident. Investigating officers determined that the husband was at fault for the collision and issued him a traffic citation for failing to yield the right-of-way when making a left turn.

The plaintiff incurred back injuries in the accident. She was taken by ambulance to the Loyola University Medical Center emergency room. Over the next several months she had follow up treatment with a medical doctor due to back injuries sustained in the accident.

When the client initially contacted our office she had no idea that she had a potential case. Luckily for her, a friend of hers told her that she might have a claim and that she should contact an injury lawyer.

The case was handled by David Abels, a law partner at Abels & Annes.

In a very similar case, car crash attorney Gary Annes reached an $80,000 settlement on behalf of one of our clients. A husband was hurt in a March 29, 2011 accident that occurred at approximately 1:37 PM.

He was riding as a front seat passenger in the family vehicle being driven by his wife. They were proceeding northbound when his wife tried to make a left turn into a gas station. Oncoming, southbound traffic had the right of way. In turning left she failed to yield to oncoming traffic. She turned left into oncoming traffic, resulting in a collision with a southbound vehicle on the front passenger side of their vehicle, right in the area where the husband was sitting.

The plaintiff had an immediate onset of right shoulder and right arm pain following the collision. He went to a local Emergency Department for evaluation and treatment.

Upon arrival at the Emergency Department a history was taken, he was examined and diagnostic tests were performed. He complained of severe right shoulder and arm pain and had limitations in the range of motion of his shoulder. He was initially diagnosed with a right shoulder contusion, prescribed pain medication, muscle relaxants, given a sling to wear and instructed to seek follow up treatment after discharge.

An MRI in October, 2011 revealed a full thickness rotator cuff tear.

We alleged in the uninsured motorist claim that his wife failed to keep a proper lookout, failed to yield to oncoming traffic when making a left turn, and failed to exercise due care for the safety of those in the area, including her passenger.

The case settled without having to go to court or arbitration.

Car accident lawyers at Abels & Annes are working on a case for a Chicago woman and her two teenage daughters who were injured by a negligent motorist. The collision occurred back on September 11, 2011 around noon.

The plaintiff and her daughters were driving westbound on Ridge in Chicago, approaching its intersection with Clark Street in a 2008 Hyundai Sonata. Traffic came to a stop and she brought her vehicle to a stop in traffic just before the intersection. The defendant was also driving westbound on Ridge, approaching Clark. He then failed to slow and/or stop his 1996 Chevy Geo and rear-ended the Hyundai. The force of the Chicago car accident threw her back and forth in her seat.

The Chicago Police Department responded to the scene of the collision and determined the defendant was at fault and issued him a citation for driving too fast for conditions. Car accident lawyers at our office are alleging the defendant failed to keep a proper lookout, failed to stop and/or reduce his speed to avoid a collision, and failed to exercise due care for the safety of those in the area, including the Plaintiffs.

Following the collision, our clients had an immediate onset of pain. Shortly after the collision, the mother sought treatment at St. Francis Hospital’s Emergency Department. Upon arrival at the Emergency Department, a history was taken, she was examined, and diagnostic tests were performed. She complained of neck pain, back pain, and pain near her left scapula. On exam, she had paravertebral tenderness in her neck and lower back. She was diagnosed with muscular pain, neck spasms, and back spasms, prescribed pain medication and muscle relaxants, and instructed to seek follow up care.

Due to ongoing and increasing pain, she sought follow up treatment with a medical doctor on September 13, 2011. At that time, the plaintiff complained of headaches and lightheadedness in addition to her constant neck and low back pain. Her pain was made worse with sitting or standing for a long period of time, which she was required to do for work. The physician took a history and examined her. On exam, she had pain along the paracervical muscles with limited range of motion as well as pain and muscles spasms of the paraspinal muscles in her lower back. The orthopedic diagnosed the plaintiff with a sprain and strain of the cervical and lumbar spines. He ordered x-rays of her neck and back, instructed her to begin a course of physical therapy, and instructed her to follow up after her x-rays.

A Chicago personal injury lawyer at Abels & Annes has resolved a claim stemming from a June, 2011 car crash. The plaintiff was driving to work just after 8 AM and was traveling southwest on Ogden Avenue approaching Oak Park Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois. The defendant was driving northeast on Ogden Avenue approaching Oak Park Avenue.

Our client had a green light at the intersection of Ogden and Oak Park and proceeded to drive her 2005 Chrysler PT cruiser straight. The at fault driver attempted to make a left turn in his Toyota Corolla onto northbound Oak Park without yielding the right-of-way to the Chrysler. The defendant turned left and struck the plaintiff in a head-on collision. The force of the impact pushed the PT cruiser across a lane of traffic and towards the shoulder of Ogden Avenue.

The Berwyn Police Department responded to the scene of the Illinois auto collision and determined the Toyota driver caused the accident. He received a citation for failure to yield the right-of-way at an intersection while turning left and later pleaded guilty to that charge and court.

Following the incident our client had an immediate onset of neck, back, and chest pain. She was taken from the scene of the occurrence by ambulance to MacNeal Hospital’s Emergency Department. A history was taken, she was examined and diagnostic tests were performed.

On exam, she had pain and tenderness to her chest wall and paraspinal muscles in her back. She was diagnosed with neck strain and back strain, prescribed muscle relaxants and pain medication, instructed to follow up with a physician, and discharged.

She followed up with a medical doctor on July 1, 2011. She complained of pain in her back, neck, chest and head as well as soreness all over. She struggled with daily activities, including grooming, showering, household cleaning and recreational activities. Her physician diagnosed her with cervical spine sprain/strain and multiple contusions. He prescribed a course of physical therapy and instructed her to follow up in two weeks.

Per physician instructions, the plaintiff engaged in a course of physical therapy at AthletiCo Physical Therapy beginning on July 7, 2011. She had pain throughout her daily activities and was limited in her actions. As a pharmacist, our client had difficulty at work because her pain interfered with her ability to do her job. She liked to run and exercise before the collision and could not do so as a result of her injuries. She engaged in several sessions of physical therapy and was discharged on September 30, 2011.

Our client returned to her doctor on July 15, 2011. She continued to complain of pain to her neck, back, chest and head and noted that she was very stiff and achy. She was engaged in the prescribed therapy but was obtaining minimal relief. Her physician instructed her to continue physical therapy and to follow up in two weeks.
