Illinois Injury Statistics: Why Local Representation Matters
The data confirms that serious accidents are a daily reality in our state. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), in a single recent year:
| Illinois Roadway Accident Statistics (IDOT) | Total Annual Count |
| Total Injuries | 87,573 |
| Total Crashes | 299,133 |
| Fatalities (Deaths) | 1,240 |
| A-Injuries (Serious Injuries) | 8,846 |
Furthermore, while the state totals are high, local data emphasizes the risk in our community. The Champaign-Urbana urban area recorded 87 serious (A-level) traffic injuries in 2021 alone. These statistics are not just numbers; they represent neighbors, students, and families in Champaign Urbana whose lives were changed by sudden, violent events.
When choosing a personal injury lawyer in Central Illinois, experience with the severity and frequency of these local incidents is crucial for building a successful case.
