Frequent Causes of Car Accidents in the Chicagoland Area

Even with a growing base of car safety technology to reduce crashes, the safe operation of a car still falls on the shoulders of the person behind the wheel. When a person gets behind the wheel, they have a duty to operate their vehicle safely. Should they fail to do so and their negligence results in a crash and people are injured, they are responsible for paying the ensuing damages related to the individual’s injuries.

Despite this clear responsibility, drivers continue to make poor decisions when they operate their vehicles.
