Trucking Accidents
There are millions of trucks on the road in the United States and many truck drivers spend the majority of their work hours on our nation's highways. All too often driver fatigue, driver distraction, technical failure, unsafe driving and driving under the influence causes truck drivers to cause truck accidents that lead to severe personal injures and sometimes death. In 2010 Illinois had approximately 2,500 severe truck accidents that resulted in 3,600 personal injuries and 155 deaths. The loss of a loved one due to the negligence of a truck driver can be devastating. The emotional scars will never heal so it becomes crucial you seek out and retain legal counsel to maximize recovery.
