Chicago and Schaumburg Trucking Accident Attorney
Discovering fault in a truck accident is not always a simple matter. When involved in a truck wreck, you should always contact us immediately. We will tell you what to do if you are involved in a trucking accident. It is extremely important that we get involved as soon as possible to take steps to preserve important evidence, by court order if necessary.
Since 1982, we have focused on representing people in a variety of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. Particularly in the area of trucking accidents, it is important to hire an attorney with the experience necessary to find out who's at fault. We have represented people in truck accidents involving:
- Driver negligence. Drivers have a responsibility to follow traffic laws, make routine inspections of trucks, and follow all federal trucking regulations.
- Trucking company negligence. A trucking company can push their drivers to take unnecessary risks to take on more routes. They may also hire unqualified and untrained drivers to cut costs.
- Violations of trucking laws. Federal and state trucking law violations are frequently the cause of truck wrecks.
- Truck maintenance issues. Given the fact that semi-trucks travel tens of thousands of miles every year, failing to maintain them properly can lead to serious problems on the road.
- Truck defects. A manufacturer or designer of a truck may be liable for injuries caused by a dangerous truck defect.
The firm represents victims of all types of trucking accidents, including intersection accidents, rear-end collisions, jackknife accidents, lane-change crashes, and highway accidents.
