The first days after a St. John crash

Get examined by a doctor within a day, even for mild symptoms. Ask St. John police or the Lake County Sheriff for the crash report. Photograph the vehicles, the intersection, any construction and your injuries, and gather witness names. Keep bills and a record of missed work, including Illinois jobs. Notify your own auto carrier, but you may decline a recorded statement to the other driver's side until after a free consultation. Avoid early offers before your doctors understand your injuries. Do not post about the crash. Keep the vehicle until it has been thoroughly photographed.

Driving in and around St. John

US 41 runs north-south through St. John and is the town's main commercial corridor, carrying Illinois-bound commuters toward I-80/94 and local traffic to new shopping centers, with frequent left-turn and rear-end crashes at the signals. US 231 passes nearby, and the Illinois state line is just to the west, so many residents also use Illinois routes to reach I-394 and I-57. Rapid subdivision growth has put more cars on two-lane county roads that were built for farm traffic, and new roundabouts and signals catch some drivers off guard. Winter lake-effect snow and ice are heavy here, and drifting across open fields reduces visibility.

What normally happens after you hire a lawyer

If a lawsuit becomes necessary, the attorney explains what filing in Lake County would involve, how long it may take and what would be asked of you, in plain words, before anything is filed. Around St. John, you remain in control of the decisions.
