Crash Data Services, LLC
| Providing quality traffic accident investigation and reconstruction |
Since 1982, both the total number of traffic
accident fatalities and alcohol related deaths
have steadily decreased in Illinois. In 2007,
about 35% of traffic accident deaths in Illinois
involved alcohol impaired drivers. Illinois had
439 alcohol impaired traffic fatalities in 2007.
In 1998, Illinois lowered the legal limit for a
driver's blood-alcohol content from 0.10
percent to 0.08 percent. Any person who
now drives in Illinois with a BAC of .08 or
more risks being charged with Driving Under
the Influence of Alcohol (DUI).
In Illinois, over 50,000 people per year are
charged with some form of Driving Under
the Influence (DUI), whether brought as a
local ordinance, misdemeanor, or felony
count. And many of those offenses stem
from drivers being involved in traffic
accidents.
While alcohol impairment is certainly
correlated with traffic accident involvement, it
is not necessarily the cause of a given crash.
In order to assign causality to any factor, such
as alcohol impairment, an expert
reconstructionist must believe that absent the
factor in question, the accident would not
have happened.
Very rarely will only one factor influence a
traffic crash. In addition to impaired or
negligent driving, failures of equipment, such
as tire blowouts, or environmental factors,
such as icy roadways, may also play a role in
a collision.
Our accident reconstruction experts will
thoroughly investigate all traffic crashes with
the intention of identifying all causal factors in
a collision. When our investigation and
reconstruction of the accident is complete,
our written expert opinions are presented in a
clear and concise fashion.
