It is understandable that you may have a fear of being struck by a semi-truck while driving. It does not help that movies and television shows feed on people’s fears by showing horrific accidents involving large trucks. The truth is, a majority of the large trucks on the road are being operated by responsible and competent drivers. However, when a collision does occur, the injuries can be catastrophic or even fatal.
Large truck accidents can also be a legal nightmare since there are multiple parties involved, as the truck is often owned by a company, and the driver may have been working at the time of the collision. If you or a loved one were injured due to the negligence of a semi-truck driver, you should not attempt to pursue a claim on your own. You need to speak with an experienced Illinois truck accident attorney who can help ensure your rights are protected.
