Chicago Truck Accident Attorney

Accidents involving commercial trucks frequently cause catastrophic and fatal injuries due to the sheer size and weight of a vehicle’s load. Because many commercial vehicles such as delivery trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial trucks in a city are not locally owned and are involved in moving commerce across the boundary lines of many states, these vehicles are held to federal regulations and safety guidelines meant to minimize the severity of accidents. There are strict rules by which trucking companies running interstate commerce must abide. These include:

  • Driver training guidelines
  • Maximum hours on the road
  • Load limits
  • Maintenance schedules
  • Record keeping
  • Filing timely reports

But trucking companies are not always straight up with the guidelines. Driver fatigue, uneven loads, inexperienced drivers and mechanical failures commonly result in devastating accidents in Chicago.
