Car Accident Causes

Many car accidents are caused by negligent drivers whose behavior creates a safety risk for others on the road. You may have been the victim of an accident involving a driver who was drunk, fatigued, or distracted by a cell phone, or someone who was speeding or driving recklessly. Busy highways in and around Bloomington and McLean County can also contribute to your risk of injury.

Types of Accidents

Depending on the circumstances leading to an accident, the nature of the collision can be quite different. Any kind of car accident can lead to severe injuries or fatalities, but rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, and rollover accidents each have their own challenges when it comes to establishing fault and obtaining full compensation. A Bloomington attorney who has experience with a variety of car crash cases can help you navigate the unique elements of your claim.

Types of Injuries

Common car wreck injuries range from minor cuts, sprains, and bruises, to catastrophic injuries to the brain, spinal cord, internal organs, bones, and limbs. Regardless of their severity, if your injuries were the fault of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for the cost of the medical care and treatment necessary to recover.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists

A significant amount of the compensation awarded in a personal injury case is usually covered by the at-fault driver's insurance policy. However, if the driver is uninsured or lacks sufficient insurance, or if you are unable to locate a driver who flees the scene of the accident, you may still be able to pursue compensation through your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Your attorney can help you document your expenses and work with your insurance company to obtain full and fair compensation.

  • I contacted Kanoski Bresney. I met with Todd and one of his associates. We talked for a better part of an hour. He took my case, and from that moment on, I was up to date on everything. He did more in two weeks than that other attorney did in three years.

  • After a work related injury I was dealing with resistance from an insurance company. I felt lost in a world I knew nothing about the legal world. Kanoski Bresney helped guide me to make the best decision for myself. I am incredibly grateful.

  • Todd handled my case and I thank God for him. He was more than dedicated at getting me the settlement I deserved. He has a good heart and did more than he had to to make sure I was taken care of. Thank you so much

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a time limit for filing a personal injury claim?

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years in most cases. This means that person must file a claim within two years after an accident or within two years after they first knew about an injury. In some cases involving government liability, the statute of limitations is one year.

What is my personal injury claim worth?

The value of a personal injury will be based on a number of factors, including the age and health of the victim, the extent and severity of their injuries, disabilities that have affected the victim's ability to earn an income, the physical and emotional pain and suffering of a victim and their family, and whether an injury occurred because of someone's gross negligence.

Can I receive compensation if I was partially at fault for an injury?

Under the comparative negligence laws in IL, you can pursue compensation as long as you were 50% at fault for your injury or less. If it is determined that you were partially at fault, the compensation you can receive will be reduced by the percentage that you were at fault. If you were 25% at fault, you will receive 75% of the total amount of your damages.

What are my options if I was in a car accident with an uninsured driver?

If an at-fault driver was uninsured, or if their insurance policy will not fully cover your damages, your own insurance policy may provide uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can help you negotiate a settlement with your insurance company and determine whether you have other options for receiving compensation in an accident.
