Drivers who make illegal U-turns put other drivers at risk. These actions are completely unexpected and leave drivers with little time to avoid a collision. The resulting injuries can be devastating for those involved in the accident.

People may make illegal U-turns when they discover they’re traveling in the wrong direction. While these maneuvers are less dangerous than left turns, they can still put other motorists in serious danger. Injured parties should consult with a qualified Chicago car crash attorney to recover deserved compensation.
