Illinois Semi Tractor Trailer Accident Lawyers

Illinois Semi Tractor Trailer Accident Lawyers

A collision with a large commercial truck is always serious, usually resulting in long term, catastrophic injuries, and sometimes, fatalities. Even cars equipped with all of the latest and greatest safety features are no match for the energy and unstoppable force involved when an 18-wheeler collides with a car, minivan, truck, or SUV.

Too often, tractor-trailer truck accidents are completely avoidable. If you or family member were injured or you lost a loved in a collision with a semi tractor trailer, please contact the Chicago truck accident lawyers of McGowan & Hull as soon as possible after the accident.

As a highly-focused law firm, we almost exclusively handle personal injury and wrongful death cases. We have the means, the expertise, and the sheer determination it takes to handle even tough personal injury or wrongful death claim against negligent trucking companies.

With a combined 75 years of experience in personal injury law, we have built our stellar reputation verdict by verdict and settlement by settlement, working hard to recover damages for each and every client.

Maximum Compensation for Serious Injuries

When trucks and passenger cars collide, the tremendous impact often means head injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, blunt force trauma, neck injuries, lacerations, paralysis, burns, bruising, shock, and other devastating physical and emotional trauma for drivers and passengers. Victims may be trapped or crushed, requiring powerful machines to extract them from the wreckage. These accidents may also result in face and eye injuries, lost limbs or partial amputation, and internal organ damage.

The trucking accident lawyers of McGowan & Hull will pursue full compensation to cover your surgeries, tests, treatments, hospitalization, therapy, medical supplies and equipment, and ongoing care. Victims often suffer long-term or permanent disabilities requiring years or a lifetime of treatment. If your injuries prevent you from returning to work, we will also seek damages for lost wages and future earnings.

Proving Negligence in Truck Accident Claims

Our experienced attorneys promptly and actively investigate the circumstances behind an 18-wheeler crash to determine if the driver's negligent behavior or inadequate truck maintenance contributed to the wreck:

  • Did the driver violate regulations or laws?
  • Were the log books up to date and accurate?
  • Was the driver under the influence of amphetamines, alcohol, illegal drugs, or stimulants?
  • Were the brakes and tires roadworthy?
  • Was the freight properly secured and balanced?

Truck accidents often involve multiple vehicles. McGowan & Hull makes sure that clients receive their fair share of the insurance policy limits when there is more than one accident victim. We protect your rights and seek maximum compensation for you or your loved one.
