When drivers act negligently or recklessly behind the wheel, they are more likely to cause catastrophic car accidents. The leading cause of serious car accidents in Illinois is distracted driving. Across the country, an estimated three out of every ten collisions are caused by reckless drivers. Statistics show that nearly 90% of reported car accidents are attributable to human error.
