The unfortunate pedestrian crash took place at a little past 10:40 p.m. Police said they received reports of a car striking a man at a street intersection. When they arrived at the crash scene, they reportedly found the man with critical injuries.

The injured pedestrian was taken to a medical center for the treatment of his injuries. His condition was still deemed critical the following afternoon. Authorities continued to investigate the cause of the collision.

Seeking monetary damages as a victim

Police may discover through their investigation that the car driver caused the Illinois crash due to negligent driver behavior. In this situation, the man who was injured in the car crash may choose to file a personal injury claim against the car driver, seeking the reimbursement of monetary damages. Liability has to be established by the Illinois civil court hearing the case before any claim for damages will be adjudicated.
