Tractor Trailer Accidents

Illinois injury attorneys serving Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Kendall and Will counties

Fully loaded tractor-trailers weigh more than six times as much as the average passenger vehicle, so it’s no surprise that trucking accidents are among the most devastating.

Protect Your Legal Rights

If you are involved in a trucking accident, you must give your name, address and details about the accident to the investigating highway patrolman; other than that, do not speak to anyone else, not even your own insurance company, until you have consulted a lawyer.

Because tractor-trailers typically are equipped with not only short-wave radios but also global positioning devices, trucking company representatives quickly arrive at the accident scene — often before law enforcement — and begin collecting evidence to protect their company and its driver. After debriefing the driver, trucking company or insurance company representatives try to obtain recorded statements from anyone else involved in the accident. If you are asked for a statement, all you have to say is that you will have your attorney contact them.

If you are seriously injured or if a family member dies from injuries suffered in a trucking accident, obtaining a lawyer is vital to recover full and fair compensation for the harm you suffered.
