Work injuries happen every day in the United States. No field of employment is immune, though, and some see more work-related injuries and fatalities than others. According to a recently published article, those who work the following jobs in Illinois or elsewhere are more likely to suffer significant or fatal injuries.
Will the autonomous car put an end to the car accidents?
Americans are said to drive more than people in other countries. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, in a two-year period, the average American will spend a total of 18 full days behind the wheel of a car. With so many people using this form of transportation daily, car accidents are a big problem nationwide, with roughly 100 people dying per day in such events. Lawmakers in Illinois and elsewhere are hoping that the autonomous car will put an end to both fatal and non-fatal collisions.
Injured in a hit-and-run car accident?
It seems like a week doesn't go by without hearing about someone being injured by a hit-and-run driver. Such accidents happen far too often in the state of Illinois, and they leave their victims suffering in numerous ways. If you or a loved one happen to be the victim of a hit-and-run car accident, you may seek compensation for your losses, regardless if the driver responsible is found.
