Malman Law, Car Accident Injury Law Firm, Publishes Infographic About Fourth of July-Weekend Car Crashes
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 02, 2013 -- The Chicago-based car accident injury law firm, Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C., has created an infographic that details the statistics of car crashes that happen over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. The aim of the infographic is to present information about the number of people involved in auto accidents over the long weekend and to encourage drivers to be safe.
Independence Day is a day of fireworks and barbecues, but too often it ends in tragedy. Each year, hundreds of people are injured over the holiday weekend; in 2011, there were 2,105 car crashes with 572 reported injuries and 12 fatalities. 55% of fatal car crashes are alcohol-related.
While many drivers may suspect an increase in traffic accidents over holiday weekends, most probably do not know specific figures. This infographic will educate citizens of the statistics and encourage drivers to be more cautious over the holiday weekend.
The attorneys at Malman Law handle all types of cases surrounding personal injuries, such as those caused by auto accidents. Driving cautiously is always important, but over a holiday weekend it's important for drivers to be even more alert and more responsible. According to data from the Illinois Department of Transportation, an average of 843 people are injured in car crashes every year over the 4th of July weekend.
"As a law firm that frequently deals with cases revolving around car crashes, we know that the aftermath of tragic accidents can be difficult. With this infographic, we hope that people will take into account the importance of driving safe and sober," Steve Malman said.
People may not know that they have the right to an attorney when dealing with an auto accident. Legal representation can help injured parties obtain the compensation they are entitled to after a negligent party causes a car accident. While insurance companies may offer their help, they may also try to exploit a victim's unfamiliarity with the law. Personal injury law offices can help move cases forward and get them resolved sooner.
The data from the Department of Transportation should be taken as a reminder to drive safely and unimpaired.
