Naperville Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney

Illinois Attorneys Represent Those Injured in Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Naperville, Illinois Accident Law Firm Focuses on the Victims of Truck Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 4,761 people killed in crashes involving large trucks in the U.S. in 2017, a nine percent increase from the previous year. If you are involved in an accident with a commercial truck, it is important to know what to do.

What to Do if You’re Injured in an Accident with a Commercial Truck
Here are some critical steps a motorist should take if involved in a collision with a commercial truck:

  • Contact the police to report the accident if anyone involved was uninsured, injured or killed, or more than $500 in property damage was sustained.
  • Seek medical attention. Be sure to report and document any areas of pain, even if it seems minor at the time. Many serious injuries can take days, weeks, or even months to manifest.
  • Never leave the accident scene. It is illegal to leave the scene of an accident in Illinois and doing so is a serious criminal offense.
  • Notify your car insurance company. Illinois requires the owner of an automobile to carry liability insurance, uninsured and underinsured coverage, and coverage for bodily injury and property damage.
  • File a claim with your insurance carrier and speak with a qualified personal injury attorney about the damages you might be able to recover for your injuries.
  • Never sign a release or give a statement to an insurance adjuster until you’ve spoken with an experienced personal injury lawyer with experience in commercial truck accidents. If you do, you could be giving up your right to bring a lawsuit against the negligent truck driver and trucking company for accident-related injuries.
