Truck Accidents Attorneys in Schaumburg

We rely on semi trucks and tractor-trailers to deliver the products and materials we use every day. At the same time, with increases in the overall number of truck drivers on the roads, truck accidents and injuries are more likely to occur. At SAM LAW OFFICE LLC, we know the serious, debilitating, and often life-threatening injuries that can result from these crashes. When you suffer injuries, our Schaumburg truck accident attorneys help you get the compensation you need to recover. 

Professional Legal Representation in Truck Accident Claims

According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (DOT), close to 12,000 truck accidents occur in our state each year, injuring over 3,000 people and proving fatal for nearly 100 others. Cars are no match for the massive height and weight of most big rigs, and the motorists often suffer the most severe harm. 

At SAM LAW OFFICE LLC, we provide the aggressive legal representation you need when truck accidents occur. Our Schaumburg truck accident attorneys represent victims who have been injured as the result of truck drivers who engage in the following reckless driving behaviors:

• Speeding and going too fast for conditions;
• Aggressive driving, such as tailgating, improper passing, and failure to yield;
• Drowsy driving, and falling asleep behind the wheel;
• Distracted driving, such as using cell phones, changing GPS settings, or eating and drinking while driving;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or artificial stimulants. 

We Help You Get the Compensation You Need to Recover

When crashes involving semi-trucks and tractor-trailers occur, our Schaumburg truck accident attorneys can advise you on your rights in filing a claim. In addition to the truck driver, you may also be able to hold the trucking company accountable. The Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) claims that policies on the part of trucking companies often make truck accidents more likely to occur. These include: 

• Requiring drivers to meet impossible schedules;
• Not providing the proper breaks or rest periods;
• Failing to properly train drivers or hiring those with a poor driving record;
• Failing to provide proper truck maintenance and parts.
