Late-Night Accidents on Chicago Roadways
Lake Shore Dr is one of Chicago’s busiest roadways, with a mix of local and commuter traffic. Late-night crashes are particularly dangerous due to reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and the potential presence of impaired or distracted drivers.
Two-vehicle collisions at higher speeds can result in severe injuries, including whiplash, broken bones, and head trauma. Factors such as speeding, reckless lane changes, and failure to yield can all contribute to these types of crashes.
Victims of vehicle collisions often face financial burdens from medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repair costs. Illinois law allows injured individuals to seek compensation if another driver’s negligence played a role in the crash. Understanding legal rights and obtaining medical care are crucial steps in the recovery process.
