Located on the Mississippi River near the border of Iowa, the Illinois Quad Cities is made up of Moline and Rock Island (with East Moline as an unofficial “Fifth City”).
The Illinois Quad Cities is an area known for its vibrant downtowns and sweeping views of the Mississippi riverfront. Residents and visitors alike enjoy art galleries and theaters, an active night life with thriving bars and restaurants, beautiful golf courses and parks, and a variety of community festivals and gatherings.
In the Illinois Quad Cities, we have the corporate headquarters of Deere & Company, as well as the headquarters of the U.S. division of Kone Elevator. We have a 12,000-seat TaxSlayer Center arena that hosts the Quad Cities’ professional hockey and arena football teams, in addition to the most well-known musical acts and events that come to the area.
The Illinois Quad Cities are sprawling and diverse with a small-town feel that makes residents feel at home.
But even people in this area suffer injuries from accidents and negligence.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, there were 312,988 crashes involving motor vehicles in 2019, with 20% of those crashes leading to injuries.
In addition to car crashes, over 104,000 nonfatal workplace injuries were reported in Illinois in the same year. Illinoisans are also injured from slip and fall accidents, construction accidents, and faulty products.
If you were injured on the job or due to someone’s negligence, you deserve compensation for your injuries.
