If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident, the first step is to secure representation from a truck accident attorney who knows how to conduct a thorough investigation that can uncover the cause of the accident.
Semi tractor-trailers create real risk on our roads and highways. It is a simple fact that cars and trucks weighing 3,000 to 5,000 pounds and traveling at high rates of speed share the roadways with 18-wheelers weighing 80,000 pounds fully loaded. That weight difference makes semis harder to control, harder to stop in an emergency and more likely to create catastrophic injuries when an accident occurs.
Chicago, with its central location, is a major hub for truck traffic. We are exposed to a high level of commercial trucking traffic that can cause serious accidents.
