Common Auto Accident Types
Certain types of injuries are often associated with specific accidents. We have represented clients in virtually every type of accident possible, including:
- Rear-end collisions
- Side impacts (T-bone)
- Head-on collisions

The type of accident has a strong impact on the way the insurance companies will respond. Our extensive experience with everything from Illinois intersection accidents to low-speed rear-end collisions and semi truck rollovers allows our attorneys to anticipate the insurance company's response and prepare a strategy to meet your needs.
Determining the Cause of the Accident
Your compensation may depend on what caused your accident. We are familiar with the evidence needed to demonstrate negligence. We can help you collect compensation from all responsible parties. Common causes for motor vehicle accidents include:
- Speeding
- Road conditions
- Weather conditions (snow, rain)
- Alcohol
- Distracted driving (cell phone use, texting while driving)
- Driver fatigue
- Mechanical failure
Regardless of the cause, you should speak to one of our attorneys as soon as possible after your accident. Do not speak to insurance representatives without consulting with our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers first.
