Common Causes of Truck Accidents in the Chicago Area

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets the standards for the trucking industry. Under the FMCSA regulations, truckers are supposed to be properly screened and qualified, with complete disclosure given regarding their past history of accidents. Additionally, truckers are required to follow proper procedures regarding truck maintenance and safe driving. Failure to hire responsible truck drivers and failure to comply with trucking regulations can lead to negligence in the form of:

  • Driver fatigue
  • Driver use of drugs and/or alcohol
  • Speeding
  • Driving too fast for road conditions
  • Truck defects
  • Failing to check blind spots
  • Distracted driving
  • Failing to use turn signal

The above is not a comprehensive list of the causes of truck accidents, and our attorneys are prepared to take on any type of truck accident case. With our extensive experience and knowledge regarding truck laws, we seek maximum compensation for our seriously injured clients. We know exactly how insurance companies will try to minimize your claim. We also handle wrongful death cases on behalf of surviving family members.
