Determining Negligence After an Accident

If you’ve been injured in an auto accident, whether it involved a truck, motorcycle, or another automobile, you need an experienced personal injury attorney to analyze your options and ensure that you are compensated for your injuries and losses.

You may be entitled to compensation if your accident and injury were caused by another person’s negligence, but you will have time limits to abide by for this process. While citizens of Illinois have two (2) years to file a personal injury claim, it is highly recommended to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after the accident occurred and you’ve received medical treatment.

There may be a number of preliminary questions to be answered, including:

• Was my accident preventable?
• Was the other driver under the influence of alcohol or other influences?
• Was the driver talking or texting on a mobile phone?
• Was the driver exceeding the speed limit or driving dangerously fast in poor weather conditions?
• Was the driver distracted in any other way while driving?

When the accident was clearly the result of the other driver’s negligence, you are likely to have a solid and promising injury claim, but time is of the essence and you also must not spare any details when speaking with your attorney. The more your attorney knows about your accident and injuries, down to the smallest details, the better chance you will have of successfully holding the other driver accountable and earning your compensation.
