An Illinois family remains in shock this week following the loss of a young family member. The 28-year-old man suffered serious personal injury following a motorcycle accident. Sadly, after extensive medical attempts to save his life, he did not survive.

As Illinois cities continue to grow, motor vehicle traffic can increase in particular areas, resulting in some areas in need of improvements. Sadly, one woman suffered a serious personal injury at a busy intersection following a crash.

The field of construction poses all sorts of dangers for workers. The tools, the work site and the large machinery can all result in construction workers’ accidents. Workers who complete work on the Illinois roadways have additional risks involved in their work.

It can be easy to forget, but not all dogs are nice. Occasionally, they bite. No one wants to think about being bitten by a dog, but it does happen.

People in society are surrounded by other people as they go about their lives. Hundreds of decisions are made by people on a daily basis, and many of those decisions may not affect anyone else. Some decisions, however, can result in serious and unfortunate consequences to others.

Employers offer many benefits to employees, including mandated insurance to cover any medical expenses for injuries that occur on the job. The insurance is called workers’ compensation. Although it is considered a benefit to employees, it can be difficult to have some necessary medical treatment approved.

Construction zones on interstates and other roadways continue to be risky for workers. Unfortunately, most roads cannot be completely closed to traffic while construction occurs to protect workers from the risk of an automobile crash and any resulting injures.

Drones have proven their potential to make a huge cultural impact by surveying farm land, limiting the spread of forest fires, strengthening security protocols and — preventing construction accidents?

Including back when large buildings such as pyramids and palaces were being constructed, workers have been asked to perform incredible lifting jobs of heavy stone and materials. A lot has changed over the years with how building occurs, including improved safety and equipment to assist with large projects.

Some people are lucky to rarely ever experience tragic loss, and sadly others may feel they get more than their fair share. One young Illinois athlete sadly has lost his second parent in a fatal vehicle crash. Personal injury attorneys are able to advise the victim’s families when such a loss occurs of insurance and/or wrongful death lawsuit claims.
