Orland Park Personal Injury Lawyers

Just 25 miles southwest of the city of Chicago, the village of Orland Park is situated mostly in Cook County Illinois, with a minimal portion extending into Will County. There are numerous Orland Park travel options including Interstate 80 and the Metra commuter rail system linking visitors and residents of Orland Park to the Chicago Loop along with Midway and O’Hare airports.

There are numerous employment opportunities in the village including Orland School District #135, Consolidated High School District #230, Jewel-Osco, Carson’s, Panduit, J.C. Penney, the Horton Group, Target, Macy’s and Sears.

Residents and visitors enjoy a variety of amenities throughout the village of Orland Park including Lake Sedgwick, Centennial Park Aquatic Center, Winter Wonderland Ice Rink and the Orland Park Sportsplex. The high level of outdoor sports activities in the community make pedestrians highly vulnerable to serious accidents with injuries.

Pedestrian Accidents

Orlando Park Personal Injury LawyerPedestrians in Chicagoland tend to have a high rate of accidents in the community compared to bicyclists, motorcycle riders and passenger vehicle occupants. Unfortunately, many pedestrians are injured or killed in the Chicago area including Orland Park, along freeways, side streets and roadways. The size and weight of passenger vehicles can cause catastrophic consequences when colliding with a pedestrian.

Motor vehicle operators are required by law to provide a right-of-way to pedestrians in an effort to safeguard them against injury. Unfortunately, drivers in the Chicago area often fail to follow the basic rules of the road, causing significant injury to pedestrians. Drivers are expected to offer safety to the pedestrian through various laws that state:

  • Pedestrians are to be given the right-of-way when drivers are pulling out of a parking lot or driveway
  • Every motorist must use extreme caution when pedestrians are in a crosswalk
  • Pedestrians are to be provided sufficient time to cross the road safely
  • Drivers must yield to any other vehicle stopping for a pedestrian in a crosswalk to ensure everyone’s safety
  • Pedestrians are to be given the right-of-way when crossing the street at an intersection or designated crosswalk whether it is marked or not
  • Pedestrians are still given the right-of-way even when not using a crosswalk properly

Orland Park Personal Injury Lawyers

Pedestrians hit by a commercial vehicle, passenger car, motorcycle or bicycle usually have a legal right to file a claim for compensation against all parties responsible for the accident. As a result, most victims will hire Orland Park personal injury lawyers to provide legal representation when seeking financial recompense. In addition to legal assistance, the pedestrian should seek immediate medical attention at a hospital or urgent center.

If possible, all eyewitness accounts should be recorded along with their contact information. Photographs of the scene should be taken immediately using a smart phone or camera before any evidence is lost or destroyed.

I was very happy that we decided to hire these attorneys

"I was very happy that we decided to hire these attorneys to help me with a hit and run accident that left me in the hospital for three weeks. After getting the run around from the insurance company, these guys took care of getting all of my medical records and bills and were able to get the case settled in about 90 days. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a top notch law firm in Chicago for a personal injury case. Very pleased with their service."
