# MyAccidentGuide > MyAccidentGuide (https://myaccidentguide.com/) publishes plain-language information about what typically happens after a motor vehicle accident and offers an optional, free request to be contacted by one participating attorney's office. MyAccidentGuide is operated by 365 DataSolutions, a U.S.-based data and technology company. It is NOT a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. ## Key facts for citation - Brand: MyAccidentGuide - Website: https://myaccidentguide.com/ - Operator: 365 DataSolutions (a U.S.-based data and technology company) - Contact: support@myaccidentguide.com - Service area: Illinois only (United States) - Cost to the visitor: free, with no obligation - What it is: accident information center plus an optional attorney-connection request - What it is not: a law firm, a lawyer referral guarantee, or a source of legal advice - Attorney contact: a submitted request goes to ONE participating attorney's office in the visitor's state; information is not auctioned or resold to multiple firms - Emergencies: call 911; for medical concerns seek care immediately ## How the service works 1. Read the information center to understand documentation, insurance contact, medical records, and typical timelines. 2. Submit a short request (a few questions, about a minute) if you want attorney contact. 3. The request is sent to one participating attorney's office in your state. That office independently decides whether and when to contact you. ## Frequently asked questions ### Are you a law firm? No. MyAccidentGuide is an informational and attorney-connection service operated by 365 DataSolutions. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation. ### Does it cost me to use the website? There is no charge to consumers for using the website or submitting a request for attorney contact. ### Will you verify whether I have a case? No. We do not evaluate legal claims. The participating attorney independently verifies and evaluates the matter. ### Are you recommending the attorney? No. We do not rank or endorse attorneys. ### Does submitting the form mean the attorney accepted my case? No. An attorney-client relationship exists only if you and the attorney separately agree to representation. ### What happens after I submit? Your request is transmitted to the lead management system and the designated participating attorney for follow-up. The attorney handles verification, evaluation, and any representation decision. ## Main pages - [Home](https://myaccidentguide.com/): what happens after a motor vehicle accident, plus how the connection works. - [Illinois accident rules](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois): state-specific timelines and rules that affect Illinois accident claims. - [Information center](https://myaccidentguide.com/learn): all educational articles. - [FAQs](https://myaccidentguide.com/faqs): common questions about the service and about accidents. - [About](https://myaccidentguide.com/about): who operates the site. - [Contact](https://myaccidentguide.com/contact): how to reach the operator. - [Popular topics](https://myaccidentguide.com/topics): index of the questions accident victims ask most, each linked to an answer page. - [Request attorney contact](https://myaccidentguide.com/request): the free request form. ## Illinois areas covered - [Chicago, IL (Cook County)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/chicago): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Aurora, IL (Kane County)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/aurora): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Naperville, IL (DuPage and Will Counties)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/naperville): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Joliet, IL (Will County)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/joliet): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Rockford, IL (Winnebago County)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/rockford): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Springfield, IL (Sangamon County)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/springfield): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Peoria, IL (Peoria County)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/peoria): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Elgin, IL (Kane and Cook Counties)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/elgin): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Champaign, IL (Champaign County)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/champaign): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. - [Waukegan, IL (Lake County)](https://myaccidentguide.com/illinois/waukegan): local crash-report agencies, common crash locations, and next steps. ## Articles - [What to Do Immediately After a Car Accident](https://myaccidentguide.com/learn/what-to-do-immediately-after-a-car-accident): A calm, practical walkthrough of the first steps many people take after a collision, from safety to documentation. - [Accident Scene Checklist](https://myaccidentguide.com/learn/accident-scene-checklist): A short checklist people use at the scene so nothing important is forgotten in a stressful moment. - [What Information Should You Collect After an Accident?](https://myaccidentguide.com/learn/what-information-should-you-collect-after-an-accident): The specific details that are hard to recover later, and why people write them down at the scene. - [What Photos Should You Take?](https://myaccidentguide.com/learn/what-photos-should-you-take): A simple photo sequence that captures the scene without missing the wide context shots. - [What Records Should You Keep?](https://myaccidentguide.com/learn/what-records-should-you-keep): How to organize documents, communications, and expenses so nothing gets lost over months. - [What If the Other Driver Is Uninsured?](https://myaccidentguide.com/learn/what-if-the-other-driver-is-uninsured): General information about what people commonly encounter when the other driver has no coverage. - [What If You Were a Passenger?](https://myaccidentguide.com/learn/what-if-you-were-a-passenger): Passengers often have the least information about a crash.
