Car Accident Injury
Generally speaking, drivers must use "reasonable care under the circumstances." The failure to use reasonable care is considered negligence under the law. A negligent driver who causes an accident may have to pay compensation to victims of the accident who were injured through the driver's negligence. The injured party (plaintiff) must show that the other driver (defendant) was negligent, that the negligence caused the accident, and that the accident caused the plaintiff's injuries.
To make your case, we look specifically at whether the defendant: Disobeyed traffic rules, Drove under the influence, Failed to signal, Drove above or below the speed limit, Disregarded driving conditions, Drove on the wrong side of the road, Behaved in other negligent ways, Reckless Driving.

Chicago Car Accident Attorney Illinois — Other Auto Accident Cases
Sometimes, auto accidents are caused by automotive defects rather than by another driver. In these cases, an automobile manufacturer or supplier may be liable under products liability law. A products liability case is a lawsuit brought against the seller or maker of a defective product that hurt a consumer or user.
A driver also may not be at fault if a mechanic fails to repair a car and an accident results. In these cases, the mechanic and the garage may be liable for the injuries due to negligence.
Badly maintained roads or malfunctioning traffic signals can cause accidents too. In these cases, government entities may be liable for injuries. In any personal injury case, it is important that measures be taken right away to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and have physicians or other expert witnesses thoroughly evaluate any injuries.
