Illinois Law Regarding Driver Negligence
When we talk about car accidents, all drivers have a legal duty to drive with responsibility for the safety of others. A driver may have been negligent if the following have occurred:
- Talking on a cell phone while driving
- Texting while driving
- Engaging in activities such as looking at maps or fiddling with the car's radio
- Driving too fast for roadway conditions
- Drinking and driving
- Driving while excessively sleepy or tired (fatigued)
- Driving while under the influence of prescription or over-the-counter medications that specifically warn against driving while taking them
- Not reading or paying attention to provided signs and warnings, including the posted speed limit, yield signs and dotted lines on the road
Was a careless driver (whether a car, motorcycle or truck driver) driving negligently in the car crash that injured you or killed your family member? The best way to find out may be to have an experienced attorney undertake a detailed investigation into the events leading up to the crash.
Police reports are likely to give scant information, and sometimes the information they provide is flat-out wrong. More evidence is most likely required to build a strong case on your behalf if you were injured by driver negligence or carelessness.
