Crash patterns in Melrose Park

Mannheim Road, which carries US 12, US 20 and US 45, runs north-south through Melrose Park toward O'Hare and the I-294 Tri-State, and its mix of semis, rideshare drivers and local traffic produces constant rear-end and lane-change crashes. North Avenue, IL 64, crosses east-west with heavy retail turning traffic, and I-290, the Eisenhower, runs just south with ramps that back up daily. The village's industrial parks generate truck traffic on 25th Avenue and Lake Street, and Metra and freight lines cross several streets at grade. Winter snow and slush narrow the lanes, and summer storms flood the viaducts. Pedestrians crossing wide arterials are frequently struck.

The review is free. If the facts suggest an attorney is unlikely to take the case, you are told that directly, along with what you can do about the property damage.
