When Trucks and Cars Collide in Northern Illinois, Nobody Wins

A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh 80,000 pounds legally, although some shippers overload trailers. In comparison, the average passenger auto weighs around 4,000 pounds. When these two types of vehicles collide, the massive differences in size mean that the truck and driver may be relatively unscathed while the car and its driver or passengers are likely to experience serious harm.

Trucks may overturn, causing rollover crashes that crush nearby cars. Cargo can come loose, hitting surrounding vehicles or creating dangerous roadway obstacles. Because of the height differences, cars can become wedged under the rear of a trailer or the front of a truck's cab, with potentially catastrophic results.

If you were injured in a truck crash, you likely suffered multiple types of losses affecting your health, finances, and quality of life. In Illinois, you can get a settlement for your damages as long as you share less than 51 percent of the fault for causing a truck crash. If you were partially responsible for an accident, the amount of your settlement will be reduced proportionally. That is, if you are determined to be 10 percent at fault, you may only receive 90 percent of the total amount of damages you have suffered. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not like paying claims, especially those with high value. Your legal team from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney will stand firm to see you collect the highest available amount.

We cannot give you an estimate of your case's value until we examine various factors specific to your case. However, you may qualify for multiple types of monetary damages, including:

• Disability and home or vehicle modifications
• Current and future lost wages
• Medical treatment expenses
• Ongoing care
• Pain and suffering
• PTSD
• Losing the ability to enjoy life

Initial settlement offers made by insurance companies or other parties are usually much less than you deserve. If you do not have a skilled lawyer from Kendall County Injury Lawyers, a Division of Kanoski Bresney to calculate your damages and advocate for your best interests, you may not even realize that the insurance company is attempting to take advantage of you. That will not happen on our watch.

• Multiple Liable Parties: With commercial trucks, the driver is not the only party who may share fault for causing an accident.
