Teenagers account for a grossly disproportionate number of car accidents here in Illinois. Authorities estimate that teenage drivers are four times more likely to lose their lives in an accident than older drivers. A number of supplemental statistics bear this grim figure out, including the fact that car accidents represent the leading cause of death for all American youths between the ages of 15 and 20. Suffice it to say, getting behind the wheel without proper experience or judgment can be a deadly decision, and the accident rate shows no signs of leveling off.
Understand The Law
The key to protecting yourself in a legal dispute over a teenager car accident is to understand the relevant statutes here in Illinois. Countless provisions have entered into Illinois' Graduated Driver's License Program, including minimum hour requirements, nighttime curfews, maximum passenger occupancy laws and more. If you or your child has been involved in an accident with a teenaged driver and need to rely on the courts, there is plenty of momentum and precedent behind your efforts to secure a settlement.
