Throughout central and Southern Illinois, highway travel is a daily necessity for most people — on interstates such as I-64, I-70 and I-255; U.S. 50, state routes such as 158, 159 and 161; and county roads with highway speed limits. The diverse mix of semi trucks, farm and construction equipment, and many other vehicle types can create harrowing challenges, and any crash at highway speed is likely to have serious or even fatal consequences.
Seriously Injured Or Grieving for a Loved One After a Highway Crash?
Highway safety requires drivers to be sober, attentive, careful and knowledgeable of basic traffic laws. Even the best drivers are at risk due to dangers posed by drunk drivers, speeding drivers, tailgating drivers and truckers in violation of state and federal safety regulations.
Experienced Belleville highway accident attorneys at Thomas Q. Keefe, Jr., P.C., are dedicated to obtaining all the insurance money and other compensation you deserve if someone, some company, or some government agency caused your highway wreck through negligence.
