Car Accident Causes

Car crashes are often the result of another driver's negligence, including in cases where the driver is drunk, impaired, distracted, or fatigued, or when he or she is speeding or otherwise violating traffic laws. We understand the many factors that can contribute to a car accident, and we can help you uncover the evidence you need to demonstrate the cause of the accident that led to your injuries.

Types of Accidents

We represent those injured in rollover accidents, head-on and rear-end collisions, sideswipes, T-bones, and more, as well as accidents involving pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, semi-trucks, buses, trains, and farm vehicles. Our breadth of knowledge and experience with different types of car crashes allows us to develop an approach to pursuing compensation that accounts for the unique details of your case and considers the common forms of negligence that may be involved.

Types of Injuries

The force of a collision can cause injuries to the head, neck, back, arms, legs, and internal organs. Severe accidents can result in traumatic brain injuries that permanently affect mental abilities or spinal cord injuries that cause full or partial paralysis. Regardless of the extent of your injuries, it is important to document them and keep records of the treatment you receive.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists

Although Illinois drivers are required to have car insurance, the at-fault driver in an accident is often uninsured. Even when a driver has insurance, the liability limits may be insufficient to cover the full amount of the damages you are seeking. If either of these situations applies to your case, your best option for compensation may be to file a claim through the uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage offered by your own car insurance provider. We can help you work with your insurance company to get the results you need.

  • 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.
