Do I Need a Lawyer for My Schaumburg Truck Accident?

Types of Schaumburg Truck Accidents

Common accidents involving tractor-trailers and other large commercial vehicles include rollovers, jackknife accidents, underride accidents, and blowouts.

What Causes Truck Accidents in Schaumburg?

Serious truck accidents can happen for many reasons: driver fatigue (falling asleep at the wheel), distracted driving (such as using a cell phone or texting while driving), unqualified drivers ignoring safety regulations, reckless or aggressive driving, intoxication with drugs or alcohol, improper cargo loading, and poor maintenance. Mechanical failures or weather conditions can cause a trucker to lose control.

Can a Schaumburg Personal Injury Lawyer Help with My Truck Accident Lawsuit?

Yes. An experienced attorney can provide effective legal representation for you.

Truck accident claims are more complex than car accident claims, so when you’ve suffered a serious motor vehicle accident involving a commercial truck, contact our personal injury law firm for help with a personal injury claim. Your lawyer can:

  • Deploy investigators to perform a thorough investigation of your case
  • Preserve critical evidence from the accident scene to establish liability, such as the police report, the truck’s black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and surveillance footage
  • Negotiate with insurance companies and multiple liable parties to win a fair settlement to cover your medical bills and other damages
  • Provide in-depth knowledge of Illinois law, including state and federal regulations for the trucking industry
  • Build a strong case using accident reconstruction experts
  • Prepare to take your case to trial if needed to secure financial compensation
  • Challenge trucking companies’ liability denials when they try to shift blame to you
  • File a wrongful death claim to provide financial support for certain surviving family members

Common Truck Accident Injuries in Schaumburg, IL

Common Truck Accident injuries in Schaumburg

Victims of commercial and semi-truck accidents in Illinois often suffer serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord damage (SCIs), broken bones, internal organ damage, and more.

Who May Be Held Liable for Commercial Truck Accidents in Schaumburg?

It is complicated to determine liability in large truck accident lawsuits because they may involve multiple parties:

  • Commercial truck drivers
  • Negligent drivers of other vehicles who failed to obey traffic laws
  • The trucking company, if it failed to properly train or supervise the driver or did not provide regular vehicle maintenance
  • Third-party contractors like cargo loaders and maintenance providers for improper loading or servicing
  • The truck manufacturer, if a defective truck part caused the accident

Can I Seek Compensation After a Schaumburg Truck Crash?

Types of Compensation for Truck Crash Injuries in Schaumburg

Illinois follows a modified comparative fault rule, so even if you share liability for the accident, you may seek compensation. If you were less than 50% at fault in a truck accident case, you may be entitled to a percentage of full and fair compensation.

Injury victims may seek compensation for severe injuries, including medical expenses for current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and future earning capacity, pain and suffering for physical and emotional distress, property damage to repair or replace damaged items, and wrongful death compensation (for funeral and burial expenses). Punitive damages may be awarded for reckless driving.

What Is My Schaumburg, Illinois, Truck Accident Claim Worth?

An experienced truck accident lawyer can assess your case by reviewing the severity of your injuries (as shown in medical records and hospital visits), the cost of your medical care, lost income or earning potential, property damage, other economic losses, as well as pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit in Schaumburg?

Per the Illinois statute of limitations (735 ILCS 5/13-202), truck accident victims have two years from the injury date to file a lawsuit to successfully recover compensation against those held responsible.
