Other common sites include parking lots and residential areas.
How Much Is My Car Accident Worth?
A Bolingbrook failure to yield car accident lawyer assesses the value of a case by considering the severity of injuries, potential for long-term impact on the victim, lost wages, and property damage.
They also consider the emotional trauma suffered, looking at both tangible and intangible losses to determine a fair compensation amount.

Medical expenses, including hospital stays, surgeries, and rehabilitation
Lost wages and future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Disfigurement or disability

What Do I Do If the Other Driver’s Insurance Company Contacts Me?
If contacted by the other driver’s insurance company, refrain from giving statements about your accident claim, accepting blame for the car crash, or accepting settlements without consulting your attorney.
What If I Was Partially to Blame for My Accident?
Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you—an at fault party—may still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault.
