Drivers in Illinois are often exposed to potentially life-threatening injuries. This is especially true on weekend nights when city streets are particularly busy. Unfortunately, when a driver fails to take due care, and negligence leads to a car accident, any passengers that may be in the vehicle will be exposed to the same dangers.

Although there is a legal limit for alcohol consumption by drivers, even a small amount of alcohol can affect a driver's ability to maintain control of a vehicle. Alcohol is known to affect reaction times, as well as a driver's ability to properly perceive and observe what's going on in or near the vehicle. An Illinois man recently suffered serious injuries in a car accident in which he was a passenger in a pickup truck.
