Traffic lights and stop signs are designed to protect drivers and save lives, and in many cases, they do. Unfortunately, when a driver fails to properly heed a traffic light, it can result in a motor vehicle collision and a serious injury that requires extensive medical care. It is important to hold the other driver accountable if you have been hurt in a red light accident in Illinois.

We know how to deal with insurance companies to ensure that your rights are protected and that you know what your options are for pursuing the compensation you deserve.
DuPage County Red Light Collision Lawyers
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 45 percent of all traffic accidents occur at intersections. There are typically two main ways that red light collisions happen.
- A driver runs a red light, runs a stop sign or turns when another car has the right of way, causing an accident
- A driver fails to slow down in time to a red light, resulting in a rear-end collision
Depending on the speed of the vehicles, the point of impact and other factors, the injuries that result from accidents may vary from broken bones and soft tissue injuries to catastrophic head, neck and back injuries. We will examine all evidence in an accident to determine what happened and to pursue all available compensation for our clients.
