Truck accident claims require specialized legal skills that many accident lawyers lack. These cases involve federal regulations and multiple insurance companies, and trucking companies have legal teams ready to fight your claim. We level the playing field for accident victims who deserve fair compensation, and our Chicago truck accident attorneys know how complex commercial truck crashes can be.
Unlike typical car crashes, truck accident cases involve additional layers of regulation. The FMCSA imposes unique rules on truck drivers and companies that don’t apply to passenger vehicles. When they break these rules, it strengthens your case, and these cases require lawyers to understand the following:
Truck collision cases need lawyers who understand trucking regulations and industry practices, and we know how to find violations that caused your accident.
Understanding the causes of truck crashes helps us build stronger cases for our clients. Common causes include:
Federal rules limit how long truck drivers can work without rest. Drivers must follow Hours of Service rules that require breaks at set intervals.
We prove driver fatigue by checking electronic logs and witness statements. These show signs of drowsy driving before the truck crash happened.
Commercial trucks need much longer distances to stop than passenger cars. A loaded semi-truck going 65 mph needs nearly 200 yards to stop.
When truck drivers speed or drive too fast for conditions, they cannot avoid hitting other vehicles, and overloaded trucks make stopping even more difficult and can lead to tire failures. Common maintenance issues include:
We check shipping records and weigh station data to prove weight violations. Poor maintenance also causes accidents when companies skip required repairs to save money.
The steps you take after a truck collision affect your ability to get compensation later. We guide clients through essential steps while warning them about mistakes that damage claims, and quick action helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Your safety comes first after any motor vehicle accident. A few key steps to follow include:
Insurance companies for trucking companies will call you quickly after the accident. They seem helpful, but they want to protect their profits, not help you. Common mistakes include:
Insurance carriers know you're facing medical bills and lost wages. They pressure you to accept little money before you know how bad your injuries really are.
