According to the most recent statistics issued by the Illinois Department of Transportation, in 2009, there were over 9,000 accidents involving tractor trailers in Illinois.  Our Chicago accident lawyers represent clients located throughout the state who have suffered serious personal injuries, property damage or the loss of a family member in a truck accident.

Such accidents include those involving drunk or hit-and-run drivers, uninsured or underinsured drivers, as well as accidents occurring from semi-tractor trailer collisions and rollovers.

We also represent those injured in truck accidents, collisions or crashes resulting from defective products or design, such as defective seatbelts, tires or gas tanks. Recently, our accident lawyers settled a trucking accident lawsuit for $6.5 million for the family of a 32-year-old woman who died when a semi-truck collided with the rear-end of the vehicle she was riding in.  The trucker was under the influence of marijuana and operating an overloaded, unsafe tractor-trailer.

Injuries suffered as a result of these types of accidents can be severe and life altering. You may have suffered whiplash or burns to your head or neck, have nerve damage or spinal chord paralysis, broken or dislocated a bone or limb, or even have lost the use of a limb.

Our firm understands that your immediate goals after going through such trauma are to get your medical bills paid and covered, make sure you do not suffer financially through any lost wages, and make sure your insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to your injury. Our experienced trucking attorneys will discuss your situation and go over the options available to you, as well as work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure all your needs are handled quickly and appropriately.
