Recreational vehicle accidents happen more often than you might think in the Chicago area. Each year, hundreds of crashes involve RVs across Illinois.
These accidents tend to be more dangerous than typical car crashes and can result in severe or life-threatening injuries because of their substantial size and heavy weight. When a large RV hits a smaller car, the results can be devastating.
The Illinois Department of Transportation reports that RV accidents often occur on highways and rural roads where these vehicles frequently travel. The risk increases during the summer months when more families take their recreational vehicles on vacation trips.
Several dangerous types of recreational vehicle accidents occur on Illinois roads:
The legal landscape for RV accidents differs from standard car crash cases. These complex situations may involve multiple parties, including the driver, owner, manufacturer, or rental company.
You need to know about special laws that apply to larger vehicles and trailers. For example, certain size RVs have specific rules about speed limits and lane usage in Illinois. We at Conboy Law stay up-to-date on all laws related to recreational vehicles. This understanding enables us to construct more compelling arguments for clients injured in such accidents.
Illinois has specific rules for large recreational vehicles that exceed certain size and weight limits. Accidents involving these oversized RVs fall under special regulatory frameworks that can affect your claim.
Drivers of large RVs need to follow stricter guidelines than those driving regular cars. While not all RVs require commercial licenses to operate, there are still special rules about how these vehicles must be maintained and operated on public roads.
Finding who’s at fault in RV crashes often requires examining multiple parties. The driver might be liable, but so might the owner, who failed to maintain the motor vehicle properly.
In some cases, manufacturers are responsible for defective parts that caused the crash. Rental companies might also be liable if they rented unsafe vehicles or failed to check that renters had proper driving skills. We conduct thorough investigations to find all liable parties in your case, which often means you can seek compensation from multiple sources.
In Illinois, a personal injury must be filed within two years following the date of the accident. This time limit is strict, and missing it usually means losing your right to compensation.
For cases involving government vehicles or property, the deadline can be even shorter – sometimes just one year. That’s why reaching out to an accident lawyer quickly is so important after you’ve been injured.
We help our clients meet all deadlines and file paperwork correctly the first time, protecting your right to seek fair payment for your injuries.
RV accidents happen for several key reasons:
RV accidents often result in severe injuries due to the size and force involved:
We start by gathering all evidence from the crash site. Our team collects police reports, witness statements, and photos to build a clear picture of what happened when the RV accident occurred.
Our lawyer collaborates with accident reconstruction specialists who can precisely demonstrate the cause of the collision and identify the party at fault. These specialists help us prove that the negligent driver’s actions directly caused your injuries.
We handle all insurance company negotiations for you. Our legal team knows the tactics these companies use to reduce payments to crash victims, and we resist unfair offers to ensure you get what you truly deserve.
Medical expenses form a major part of your claim. Coverage encompasses urgent medical treatment, inpatient care, surgical procedures, prescribed drugs, rehabilitation services, and all subsequent healthcare requirements stemming from your injuries.
Lost wages can be recovered when your injuries prevent you from working. If you can’t return to your previous job due to permanent injuries, we fight for payment to cover this long-term financial loss.
Pain and suffering damages acknowledge the physical pain and emotional trauma you’ve experienced. While no amount of money truly makes up for serious injuries, this compensation recognizes your suffering.
In cases where a family member died in an RV accident, we can pursue a wrongful death claim. This can cover funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the loss of companionship for surviving family members.
RV accident claims often involve more serious injuries and higher medical bills than typical car crashes. These cases may also include more liable parties, such as the RV manufacturer or rental company, beyond just the driver.
We can still help you seek compensation if the other driver lives outside Illinois. Our lawyers are experienced in handling cases involving out-of-state drivers and insurance policies.
Yes. Illinois follows comparative negligence rules, which means you can still recover money even if you were partly at fault, as long as you weren’t more than 50% responsible for the crash.
Each case is different, but most settle within several months to a year. More complex cases involving serious injuries might take longer, especially if they go to trial.
We look for all possible sources of compensation, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We might also identify other liable parties, such as the RV owner or manufacturer.
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case. You pay nothing upfront or out-of-pocket for our services.
We can help you explore options like using your health insurance, medical payments coverage, or setting up payment plans with healthcare providers while your case moves forward.
