Truck accidents are far more common than most people realize. In Illinois, semi-trucks are responsible for over 12,000 collisions per year. They account for nearly 4% of all crashes, resulting in several thousand injuries and deaths each year. Given the size and weight of these 18-wheeler trucks, it probably comes as no surprise that most of the injured victims are occupants in the smaller passenger vehicle. These people tend to suffer the brunt of the impact, and their injuries are severe to catastrophic.
If you were injured by a truck driver’s negligence in Illinois, you need skilled Ottawa, IL truck accident attorneys who can help. At Brassfield & Krueger, Ltd., we have years of experience helping Illinois clients get the compensation they deserve after suffering harm in a large truck collision.
When you retain our firm, we will not only gather evidence to prove negligence against the truck driver; we will ensure all at-fault parties are held accountable. That could include the trucking company, automobile manufacturers, and more. If the responsible parties do not engage in meaningful settlement discussions, we will file a lawsuit. Trucking companies typically have extensive insurance policies and will aggressively defend accident lawsuits in an attempt to avoid paying out anything whenever possible. We are not afraid to take your case to trial if that is what is necessary.
Victims of large truck collisions usually have severe injuries. Some of the most common injuries we see in truck accident lawsuits include:
In addition to physical injuries, victims usually suffer psychological and emotional trauma. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), fear, anxiety, depression, and recurring nightmares are not uncommon after a serious accident. You must get a proper diagnosis for all your injuries after an accident, not just your physical ones. You may need therapy and other treatment that is costly. You should not have to pay for this out of pocket. The responsible party should be the one who compensates you for all your injuries and necessary treatment.
Paying for medical care and the other associated costs after a truck accident can add up quickly. Your financial concerns can bring on even more stress and anxiety. Do not attempt to pursue a claim for damages on your own. Let our skilled Ottawa, IL truck accident attorneys help. Contact Brassfield & Krueger, Ltd., today to schedule an initial consultation.
