Common Types of Motor Vehicle & Car Accidents
Our lawyers have extensive experience and a proven record of success in handling a broad range of motor vehicle and car accident cases, including:
- Semi-truck accidents: Semi trucks, delivery trucks, box trucks, and other commercial vehicles are subject to special safety regulations that do not apply to passenger vehicles. If the truck driver violated these safety regulations, our lawyers will make the insurance company pay you for your injuries.
- Motorcycle wrecks: Motorcycle accidents usually involve devastating injuries. Insurance companies often seek to pin the blame on the motorcyclist, even when the other driver was clearly at fault. Hiring an attorney immediately to preserve the evidence of the crash and perform an investigation is important to win your case.
- Bus accidents: Bus, CTA, and PACE accidents require immediate investigation and preservation of bus videos. If you were in a bus accident, you should immediately contact an attorney to guide you through the legal process and represent you. The CTA only holds bus videos for a short period of time and obtaining these videos can prove that you are entitled to money for your injuries. There are special laws that apply to bus drivers, so you should call Trapp & Geller immediately for help.
- Taxicab accidents: Chicago’s streets are full of taxi drivers racing to make fares as quickly as possible. Uber and other ride-sharing services have added to the congestion and put inexperienced drivers on the road. Some taxis have video surveillance, so it’s important to call an attorney immediately to make sure that you are properly represented.
