Illinois Truck Accident Claim Overview (Part A)

Illinois is a busy corridor of commerce for the mid-west trucking industry. With major highways like I-55 and I-80 running through the state, there is an abundance of large commercial trucks on the roads that can pose serious hazards to the smaller vehicles around them.

Because commercial trucks can be nearly 27 times the weight of a typical passenger car, the accidents that occur between these vehicles often result in serious injury or death. This leads to the need for the victim or surviving family to file an Illinois truck accident claim to recover damages from the accident.

 

Filing and Proving Your Illinois Truck Accident Claim

The basis for most vehicle accidents, including an Illinois truck accident, is negligence. The evidence in your claim must be able to prove that the truck driver was negligent in their vehicle operation and caused your accident. From the moment the truck accident takes place and through your recovery, you should be documenting everything you can.

Photographs of the accident scene, police reports, witness statements, and medical records are all important pieces of evidence that can be used to build and support your claim. You should contact your own insurance company as soon as possible to open a claim for your Illinois truck accident, then speak to a Chicago truck accident lawyer for help in dealing with both yours and the trucking company’s insurance companies.

If you or a loved one has been an unfortunate victim of an Illinois truck accident you should consider the help of an experienced Chicago truck accident lawyer to help you with your claim. Continue reading to learn more about the claims process.
