Aggressive Truck Accident Lawyers Fighting for LaSalle Victims

The city of LaSalle, Illinois, home to nearly 10,000 LaSalle County residents, is stationed at the intersection of Interstate 39 and Interstate 80. Traffic on US Route 51 also runs through LaSalle, increasing the risk of truck accidents for distance commuters and residents alike. The LaSalle truck accident lawyers at Brassfield & Krueger, Ltd. provide legal assistance and help to protect the victims of trucking accidents that occur on the highways and byways of LaSalle, Illinois.  

Even in a small city like LaSalle, commerce is continually growing, which means the tractor trailer trucks carrying their cargo are traveling through the city. Many of these trucks are packed to full capacity and weighing in at 80,000 pounds, which is disastrous when colliding with a passenger car weighing in at under 4,000 pounds. Most accidents like that have tragic results, leaving victims injured, in pain, out of work, and wondering how they are going to handle their house bills and medical bills.

Federal Truck Driving Regulations Are Not Always Followed

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing regulations, including truck driver, vehicle, company, and HAZMAT regulations, as well as providing guidance regarding their regulations. For instance, the FMCSA requires truck drivers to maintain detailed log books to track the hours they drive and to ensure federal regulations are being obeyed. Regardless of these regulations, the FMCSA estimates that 19,705 injuries and 755 fatalities occur on the roads of the U.S. every year because of fatigued, drowsy, or tired truck drivers.

It is not unusual for companies to overlook FMCSA violations in order to get cargo where it needs to be delivered on time. Their goal is to make a profit. When truck drivers and the companies that they work for put profits ahead of general safety measures, serious and fatal truck accidents are more likely to occur.
