Peru is a small city, but car accidents are still a common occurrence here. Careless, or negligent, drivers place everyone on the road around them at risk of sustaining injuries. Those injuries can prevent you from living your life in the way you once did, and from enjoying the things you once loved.Â
When someone else was at fault for the crash, you can file a claim against them for compensation. Filing a car accident claim is rarely easy, however. Even the smallest mistake can place your chances of obtaining compensation at risk. Our car accident lawyers in Peru, IL can help you claim the full settlement to which you are entitled.
Motorists are human beings and they do not always practice the safest driving behaviors. That carelessness often leads to accidents on the roads. Negligence can take many forms. Weather is one of the main causes of accidents in Peru. New drivers, in particular, are often not experienced enough to drive in the slick and snowy conditions that are often present in the city. Still, all motorists should know how to drive safely in poor weather, or avoid doing so when they are not familiar with winter driving.
Speeding is another common act of negligence that causes accidents on the road. The average speed limit in Peru is 30 miles per hour, and it is even lower in some areas. Motorists who drive at these speeds may not be able to stop in time, particularly in areas that have many traffic lights or stop signs.
Impaired driving is another common cause of car accidents throughout the city. Even though a person faces many harsh penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, many motorists still get behind the wheel and drive while they are impaired instead of finding alternate modes of transportation.
Determining who is at fault for an accident is the first step toward recovering damages after a car accident. This often requires a full investigation and collection of evidence to determine how the crash occurred.
Some of the most important pieces of evidence after a car accident are the police report that was filed afterward and the pictures and video footage of the accident scene, damage to vehicles, and any injuries sustained. Eyewitness testimony is also considered strong evidence that can show how a crash occurred. To prove your damages, you should keep all copies of any medical records and invoices, as well as pay stubs, which can help prove your lost income.
