Trucking accidents routinely result in catastrophic injuries for the victims due to the pure size and weight of a trailer. Anyone who has been hit by a negligent truck driver or who was injured due to a negligent trucking company has every right to file a claim and fight for fair compensation. We are here to fight for you.
What are Common Causes Of Commercial Truck Accidents?
It is an undeniable fact that most truck collisions are preventable and drivers are often not the sole party responsible for an accident. Determining whom to hold liable and seek compensation from can be one of the most frustrating and confusing aspects of your case, which is why it is important to determine the exact cause and any contributing factors. Common causes include the following:
- Driver fatigue or distraction
- Violation of traffic laws
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Poor maintenance history
- Manufacturing defects
- Violation of safety regulations and hours of service limitations

Your Challenges Following A Truck Accident in Chicago, IL
While you are being rushed to the hospital for the treatment of your injuries after an accident with a truck, the driver’s employer is contacting its legal team in preparation for your claim. You need to focus on taking care of your injuries rather than worrying about where you are going to find the money to pay for your medical bills. However, the parties that are responsible are often two steps ahead in manufacturing a way to avoid responsibility. This reality can be infuriating and leave you confused as to how to proceed with your claim so that you aren’t left in a financial hole.
You may also be dealing with a lot of pain and need to be able to focus on your rehabilitation— rather than talking to insurance companies that are only trying to find ways to fool you into giving up your rights. Having an attorney representing your needs and interests will allow you to focus on what truly matters— getting better.
