Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Schaumburg, IL

Pedestrian Accident Overview

Millions of Chicago residents walk on our sidewalks and streets every day. Due to Chicago’s density, it is possible to live in the city without owning a car. For many people in Chicago, walking is one of their main means of transportation. While walking offers many benefits, there is an element of risk. Pedestrians have no protection from inattentive or careless motorists. When these drivers strike pedestrians, the resulting injuries can be severe or even fatal.

Although the number of pedestrian accidents in Chicago has decreased in recent years, there are still more than 3,000 pedestrian accidents every year on Chicago streets. A number of these accidents will be fatal for the pedestrian. In many more cases, the pedestrian will suffer painful, life-altering injuries.
