Chicago Accident Attorney

Truck Accidents

When you have been involved in a trucking accident, you know that the results are much more serious than a standard auto accident, but you may not know that the trucking companies associated with these accidents make it much harder to collect the right award for your injuries. Without the help of a top Chicago truck accident attorney, you are very likely to find your reward is far less than you deserve.

At least one in ten of all deaths related to traffic accidents occur in accidents with semi-trucks, but only three percent of all accidents involve these beastly vehicles. The reason is related to physics: trucks often way as much as 16 times the weight of a passenger car, which means the collision will have that much more force behind it.

After a trucking accident, the trucking companies will always immediately send one of their investigators to the scene of the crash. The job of these investigators is to collect as much evidence as possible to show your responsibility in the accident, even if the crash was solely caused by the truck driver. They will then try to undercut your claim amount as much as possible. The entire goal of the trucking companies and their insurance companies is to keep as much money in their pockets, which means paying the smallest accident claims possible.

That’s where a Chicago truck accident lawyer comes in. At The Law Offices of Lane & Lane, we vow to help you maximize your payment from the trucking company. If they refuse to cooperate and give you what you deserve, we are entirely willing to file an accident lawsuit.

Your Chicago accident attorney will fully investigate the scene of the accident and review the police reports on the crash. Our ultimate goal is to ensure you receive a settlement that not only covers your immediate medical expenses, but also your long term medical costs, time you had to spent away from work and your emotional stress during this rough period.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a truck accident, please get in touch with a Chicago accident lawyer from our firm as soon as possible.
