Truck Accidents

Trucks account for a substantial percentage of the number of miles driven every day on our roads. Because of their size and weight, trucks tend to be responsible for some of the most severe injury cases.

Incentive to grow company profits often results in unsafe driving and dangerous freight transfer practices and procedures. Truckers are encouraged to push themselves to the point of exhaustion at the expense of the safety of other motorists. Truck maintenance is put off to extract savings in every area. Because of the complexities involved in trucking, several parties may be responsible for the operation, loading and maintenance of trucks.

State and Federal laws are on the books to protect the public from unsafe trucking practices. Strellis & Field carefully evaluates each case to determine if there have been violations of Illinois or Federal Statutes.

Strellis & Field has obtained substantial recoveries for people involved in trucking accidents. All potentially responsible parties are thoroughly investigated to determine who may be responsible for our clients’ injuries. The lawyers at Strellis & Field are available to speak with you regarding personal injury or wrongful death claims arising out of a trucking accident.
