Sideswipe Collisions in Illinois
Certain types of crashes are more likely to result in severe injuries. Not only are sideswipe collisions one of the most common, but they are also some of the most dangerous. Drivers often dispute who is at fault for these types of accidents.
Sideswipes occur when cars get too close to each other and make contact on the road. 27,000 people are injured in sideswipe collisions annually in the United States. Reckless drivers can be held responsible for resulting injuries with the help of an Illinois auto accident attorney.
