How Much Is My Stop Sign Injury Case Worth?
An experienced car accident attorney takes several factors into account when determining the value of a car accident lawsuit:
The severity and extent of your injuries
The amount of your medical expenses and lost wages
The impact of the accident on your daily life and future earning potential
Insurance coverage limits for both parties involved in the accident
Car Accidents Caused by Running a Stop Sign
According to The Journal of Safety Research, police report approximately 700,000 motor-vehicle crashes occurring annually at stop signs. Approximately one-third of these crashes involve car accident injuries and more than 3,000 are fatal.
What Are Illinois Stop Sign Traffic Laws?
Under Illinois law, (625 ILCS 5/11-1204) drivers must fully stop at stop signs, either at a marked line, before the crosswalk, or where they can see oncoming traffic if no crosswalk exists. Violating this law can result in fines, demerit points, and increased liability in collisions.
Why Do Drivers Run Stop Signs?
Drivers run stop signs due to distracted driving, aggressive driving, impaired driving from alcohol or drugs, unfamiliarity with the area, or poor visibility of the stop sign.

A skilled Chicago car accident lawyer will thoroughly investigate the accident to gather evidence and determine liability. Your car accident attorney will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure that you receive fair compensation. If necessary, they will also represent you in court to fight for your rights and seek maximum damages.
Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To After a Stop Sign Car Accident

Holding a Driver Liable When They Run a Stop Sign and Severe Injuries
