Car Accident Causes

Most car accident injury cases involve crashes caused by a negligent driver, with common contributing factors including alcohol or drug impairment, speeding and reckless driving, and distractions removing a driver's focus from the road. Weather and road conditions also may contribute to the risk of being in an accident, as can poorly maintained or defective vehicles.

Types of Accidents

Car accident cases vary depending on the nature of the collision and the kinds of vehicles involved. Our attorneys have represented clients injured in rear-end, head-on, and angled collisions, sideswipes, rollovers, and more. We also understand how the involvement of trucks, buses, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, and farm equipment can affect your claim, and we are prepared to move forward with the best possible approach for investigating and building a case for compensation according to your unique situation.

Types of Injuries

You may be fortunate to escape a car accident with minor injuries that fully heal after a fast recovery, but in many cases, car crashes result in severe, long-lasting, and even life-threatening injuries. If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury, or burn injuries resulting in permanent scarring, compensation from a personal injury claim may be crucial to keep your life manageable.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists

When the at-fault driver in your car accident lacks car insurance or has a policy with low liability limits, you may be restrained in the compensation you can obtain from him or her through a personal injury lawsuit. However, this does not mean that no recovery is possible. If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage as part of your own car insurance policy, your attorney can help you file a claim to cover all or a significant portion of your medical expenses.

  • 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.

    - Mariah Johnson

  • 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.
