Injured In A Truck Accident In Illinois?
Trucking accidents easily have the potential to cause catastrophic injuries or even death, most often to the drivers or passengers in the other vehicles. According to a 2007 report of nationwide trucking accidents by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), 75% of the fatalities that occurred as a result of trucking accidents were occupants of other vehicles. 8% were non-occupants (pedestrians or cyclists) and only 17% were the drivers of the trucks. A commercial truck may weigh anywhere from 10,000 to 80,000 pounds, making a collision with any passenger vehicle potentially fatal.

A truck accident may occur due to any of a number of reasons:
- Overloaded truck
- Improperly loaded or unbalanced truck
- Inexperienced driver
- Tired or overworked driver
- Distracted driver
- Drunk driving
- Poor road or weather conditions
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
Truck accident cases can be difficult because a large commercial trucking company may be the party to hold responsible. These companies may have an attorney or team of attorneys to handle claims such as yours and their insurance company can be exceedingly difficult to deal with. But with the right approach and a steadfast determination to maximize your financial recovery, your trucking accident lawyer may be able to prevail.
