According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 42,642 fatalities related to motor vehicle accidents in 2006. This figure includes passenger car accidents, accidents involving pedestrians, light-truck accidents, and accidents involving bicyclists. The number of injuries, meanwhile, is far higher, given that most vehicle accidents are not fatal. Though the consequences are not always severe, a motor vehicle collision has the capacity to inflict devastating trauma on the individuals involved. The G-forces involved in a high-speed collision, even in instances in which the occupants are wearing their safety belts, can cause severe brain injury, spinal cord injury, and death. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, you may be eligible for financial compensation. At the law office of McArdle & Frost, our Southside Chicago, Tinley Park, and Orland Park car accident attorneys can review your case for free, with no obligation, to determine whether you have a case. If your accident occurred because of a defective product or as a result of an outside party's negligent and reckless actions, you can file a suit against the liable individual or business. Contact our office to schedule a free consultation with our lawyers.
The NHTSA reports that motorcycle fatalities increased every consecutive year between 1997 and 2006. They also found that in 2006, with 4,810 reported cases, motorcycle fatalities were more common than pedestrian fatalities for the first time since the agency began collecting car accident fatality and injury date in 1975. Motorcycles make up only 2 percent of the total registered vehicles in the country, but they are involved in 11 percent of the total number of vehicle fatalities. As of 2005, the NHTSA reported that, given an equal amount of miles traveled, a motorcyclist was 34 times more likely to die in a motor vehicle accident than a passenger car occupant. If you are a motorcyclist, you have probably had experiences that demonstrate the truth of these statistics.

Tractor-trailers and other large commercial vehicles can pose a serious risk to occupants in passenger car vehicles. The weight and size of commercial vehicles make their stopping distances much longer than those of passenger cars, and they have considerably less maneuverability. The nature of commercial truck dynamics, and the threat that they pose to other road users, means that only qualified individuals are able to operate commercial vehicles, and as a result they are federally regulated. Common causes of commercial truck accidents are fatigued drivers, excessive speed, improperly secured loads, and a lack of proper vehicle maintenance. Truck drivers must exhibit a professional level of competence in the operation of their vehicles, and any failure to do so can result in civil damages being brought against the trucking company. If you have been injured in a car accident involving a commercial vehicle, or if a loved one has been killed in a commercial vehicle accident, contact our Southside Chicago, Tinley Park, and Orland Park car accident attorneys today.
