Truck Accidents

With the increase of tractor-trailer traffic on Interstates 294, 290, 57, 80, 99 and 94, more people are being injured and killed in truck accidents. A truck driver who operates a semi negligently as well as the trucking company that hired the driver and maintains the vehicle may be liable for damages for injuries caused to you and your loved ones. The truck accident lawyersat the Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah & Associates will help you recover monetary damages for pain and suffering, payment of reasonable medical expenses, and lost wages. In order to bring a claim for damages, you should contact our Chicago, Illinois, truck accident lawyers  as soon as possible.

Accidents involving trucks are more likely to result in serious injuries and deaths than car accidents. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are designed to protect motorists who have to share the roads with tractor-trailer rigs. To prevent driver fatigue, truckers can’t drive for more than 10 hours in a 24-hour period. Safety regulations also deal with the proper loading of materials and safety rules when passing other vehicles and on traveling speeds. Truckers are required to keep logs of their driving time and trucking companies are required to keep maintenance records. Most modern trucks also have GPS devices that show, down to the minute, how fast the driver was going and how quickly they came to a stop. By comparing the GPS records with the driver’s logbook, we can find discrepancies between driver logbooks and GPS records. We look forward to demonstrating our skill, integrity, and compassion should you ever need legal advice about a car accident claim. The sooner you call us, the sooner our truck accident lawyers and investigators can go to work on your behalf.

It’s also important for you to consult a truck accident attorney before saying anything to an insurance company adjuster. Anything you say to an adjustor could be used by the insurance company to reduce the value of your injury claim.
