Sideswipe Accident Attorneys at Abels & Annes, P.C.
If you drive in Chicago, you know the unfortunate reality that car accidents are a part of life. In fact, in 2014, there were an average of about 782 motor vehicle collisions in Illinois each day and nearly half of those occurred in Cook County despite the fact that Cook County makes up a relatively small geographic portion of the state.
There are many types of collisions that take place in Chicago and among them are sideswipe accidents. A sideswipe accident happens when one vehicle strikes the side of a second car that is traveling in the same direction, typically on the same street. The resulting impact leads to the driver's side of one vehicle colliding with the passenger's side of another and may cause injuries to those involved.
While sideswipe accidents can happen wherever two vehicles can travel side-by-side, they are most common on the expressways and interstates that surround the city. As motorists attempt to change lanes, merge onto or off of an interstate, or even avoid hazards in the roadways, it is possible for a sideswipe crash to occur.
Sideswipes are most commonly caused by the negligence of one driver who fails to make sure they move among lanes without issue. While innocent victims may be left to suffer the consequences, they do not have to do so without help as Illinois law may enable them to pursue a claim for relief.
A typical civil claim for damages can help a victim and that victim's family members move forward following a collision by recovering financially for the harm sustained. If you were hurt in an accident and you incurred medical expenses, lost wages, or endured pain and suffering, make sure you understand whether you are entitled to relief.
