First steps after a crash in Munster

Have a doctor examine you within a day and keep every follow-up. Ask Munster police or the Lake County Sheriff for the crash report. Photograph the vehicles, the road and your injuries, and if a truck was involved, photograph its markings and plates. Get witness contacts. Around Munster, keep bills and a record of missed work, including Illinois jobs. You may decline a recorded statement to the other driver's side until after a free consultation. Avoid early offers, and keep the vehicle until it has been photographed.

Munster's roads and the crashes they produce

I-80/94, the Borman Expressway, runs along Munster's north side, carrying freight and commuters between Chicago and the rest of the country, with sudden slowdowns at the Calumet Avenue and Indianapolis Boulevard exits. Calumet Avenue and Ridge Road are the busy local arterials, and Indianapolis Boulevard, US 41, runs south through retail areas with frequent turns. Many residents cross into Illinois on Torrence Avenue or I-294 to work, so crashes can happen in either state. Lake-effect snow and ice off Lake Michigan hit the area hard in winter, and rail lines cross several streets, so drivers stop short.
