Our firm is dedicated to obtaining compensation for our injured clients for their financial losses, such as medical bills and lost wages, and for their pain, suffering, disability and loss of a normal life. The following is general information about motor vehicle accidents. 
- Actions, on the part of either driver, that may have contributed to the accident include: 
Failure to stop at a red light or stop sign 
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs 
Failure to compensate for dangerous weather conditions 
Driving above or below the posted speed limits 
Driver distraction caused by a cell phone, passenger, radio or another source 
Failure to obey traffic laws regarding turn signals, right-of-way and other rules

• A. Truck Accidents

The trucking industry is regulated by state and federal law. That means, Trucking companies are required to provide adequate driver training, maintain vehicles, and ensure drivers are accurately reporting the number of hours they drive in a given day. However, due to rising costs and increased pressure to deliver on time across Illinois State, corners may be cut and regulations may not be followed. 
- Causes of truck accidents may be due to one or more of the following:
Excessive speeding 
Driver fatigue / falling asleep at the wheel 
Wide angled turns 
Lane drift 
Lack of a rear guard, resulting in under riding 
Lack of proper safety reflectors 
Tire blowout 
Load shift 
- Injuries often sustained in a truck accident may include: 
Whiplash / neck injuries 
Brain damage or injury 
Paraplegia / quadriplegia 
Amputations 
Spinal cord injury 
Serious burns

• B. Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can include brain injury, spinal cord injuries, loss of limbs, bone fractures and other serious injuries. Cullotta Law IL motorcycle accident attorneys will examine the cause of the motorcycle crash, such as motorcycle maintenance (brake failure, tire blow outs), driver negligence (speeding, failure to yield, tailgating, improper lane usage, reckless aggressive driving, or unsafe driving) and other causes.

• C. Uninsured Motorists (UM) and Underinsured Motorists (UIM)

When a driver refuses or is unable to carry proper motor vehicle insurance, that driver puts more than just him or herself at risk. If the driver injures another person, the insurance will be inadequate to cover the damages. 
- Injured parties, however, may be covered by their own insurance policies;

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage protects accident victims in these cases. If you have been involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, it is important to contact an attorney to create a plan of action.

II. Head Trauma / Brain Injury 

- Any of these symptoms may follow a traumatic brain injury:

Concussion 
Skull fracture 
Brain contusion 
Epidural hematoma 
Subdural hematoma
