Montlick & Associates Reviews Sobering New Traffic Accident Statistics

ATLANTA, GA, August 21, 2012

For as long as there have been auto accidents, there have been efforts at auto accident prevention. As state governments and auto manufacturers alike seek to make driving safer for all involved, statistics indicate that the number of traffic accidents, in many areas, is ever on the rise. A sobering new report from the State of Illinois confirms this, noting that even amidst serious statewide attempts at accident prevention; the volume of accidents has risen in the past year. These troubling findings have merited the attention of Montlick & Associates, a leading personal injury law firm in Georgia. Montlick & Associates reviews traffic accident data regularly, and has responded to the Illinois report with a new press statement.

The report itself notes that the number of traffic accidents in Illinois has increased dramatically over the January to July period, when compared with the same span of time from 2011. In fact, the State of Illinois has had 559 traffic accident deaths during the first seven months of 2012, up from 478 in 2011.

The report quotes Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider, who says that these new findings are particularly unwelcome given her own desire to eliminate traffic-related deaths in the stare. Schneider also confirms that the increase in traffic accidents and related deaths is not just in Illinois, but is trending across the nation.

This report has warranted a comment from Montlick & Associates, a personal injury firm based in Georgia. Montlick & Associates reviews many auto accident cases, representing the victims and their families.

"As a personal injury law firm, we see the tragic impact of auto and truck accidents on a daily basis," says Founder and Chief Executive Officer David R. Montlick. "Our caring professionals have been fighting hard to get people the compensation they deserve for nearly 30 years."

The Montlick & Associates statement continues by noting the importance of efforts focused on accident prevention. "We know all too well that most of these injuries could have been prevented with a little extra care," Montlick observes. "For example, many of the worst injuries are cause by distracted driving, speeding, running red lights and driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. That is why, in addition to helping accident victims, since 1986 our firm has devoted so many resources to our extensive programs that are designed to help families prevent injuries."
