Trucking Accidents

Chicago Trucking Accidents Lawyer

Illinois Lawyer - Trucking Accident Claims

In most truck accidents which occur in Illinois, trucking companies and their insurance carrier(s) have strategic action plans in place that go into effect almost immediately after an accident. Investigators and accident reconstruction experts are sent to the scene of the accident. Lawyers and claim adjusters are assigned to the case to protect the truck driver and trucking company - even if the accident was clearly their fault. Their job is to deflect liability and limit the compensation paid out for injuries and deaths caused by the truck accident.

Important evidence that should be documented or preserved ASAP include tire marks, vehicle debris, road conditions, the commercial vehicle's maintenance records, drivers' log books, and alcohol or drug test results.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents: Semis • Taxis • Trains • Vans • Trucks

Smoler Law Office represents people in personal injury and wrongful death actions involving all types of commercial vehicle and trucking accidents in Chicago, Cook County and throughout Illinois. In addition to tractor-trailers, the firm's practice also includes accidents involving commercial vehicles such as buses, taxis, commuter trains, delivery trucks, shuttle vans, and corporate automobiles. In any case, it is critical to start investigating the accident as soon as possible, regardless of the type of vehicle(s) involved.

Interstate trucking is governed by an interlocking maze of state and federal regulations. Because of this, trucking accident cases are generally more complex and difficult to piece together than car accident cases. Because of the weight and size of commercial semis, injuries caused by truck accidents are generally more serious than those caused by auto accidents, and can include back and neck injury, traumatic brain injury, amputation, and spinal cord damage.
