A Joliet, IL Attorney Can Help With Your Illinois Trucking Accident Claim

An Illinois trucking accident claim is much different from your typical car accident claim. While a regular car accident usually just involves 2 drivers, a trucking accident can be the fault of multiple parties. Determining who to hold liable for your injuries can be difficult without the help of a Joliet, IL attorney who focuses on helping trucking accident victims.

Your attorney knows about third party liability; do you?

Most victims of a serious trucking accident aren’t aware of all the factors that can play into filing a successful Illinois trucking accident claim. Aside from determining the value of your claim and what a fair settlement should be for your damages, there’s the question of liability.

You may think that the truck driver is the only responsible party in your Illinois accident, but in many cases you’d be wrong. There may be third parties involved in the safe operation of commercial trucks, and an experienced Joliet, IL attorney will know how to identify them in your case.

What Third Party Liability Means in an Illinois Trucking Accident Claim

When you’ve been seriously injured in a trucking accident in Illinois, you’ll be dealing with medical bills and time out from work that you shouldn’t have to worry about. These damages were caused by another party’s negligence, and it may not always be the truck driver’s fault.

While fatigued or negligent drivers cause many Illinois truck accidents, that’s not always the case.

If there were issues with the truck itself, such as improper maintenance, a manufacturer’s defect, or failure to inspect loads and records properly, a third party may be to blame.

Filing an Illinois trucking accident claim against the truck driver may not always result in a substantial settlement to cover the full extent of your injuries. A Joliet, IL attorney will know when an accident claim goes beyond driver negligence and involves bigger parties.

The Difficulty in Third Party Liability Claims for Truck Accidents

If your accident is found to have been caused by a third party involved in the commercial truck’s operation it can complicate matters. Suddenly you may be dealing with multiple insurance companies, not to mention parties that have more experience dealing with settling truck accident claims than you do.

To level the playing field, you need professional help from a Joliet, IL attorney who focuses on trucking accident claims.

You’ve probably never been in this situation before, but an experienced attorney will have worked with cases similar to yours. This experience can be the edge you need to determine all responsible parties and fight for the settlement you deserve.

When to Hire a Joliet, IL Attorney after a Trucking Accident

You’ve likely never had to deal with an Illinois trucking accident claim before, and those who have know how difficult they can be to resolve. You’ll be dealing with not only the truck driver, but also the trucking company and many other potential third parties.

Even experienced, safe drivers run the risk of being involved in a serious

Joliet, IL truck accident. Beyond your initial recovery, injuries in these types of accidents are often serious and result in permanent disability or disfigurement, which can cause loss of the ability to work, years of rehabilitation, serious medical bills and have a significant impact on your life.
