Illinois gives truck accident victims a narrower window to act than many people realize: a two-year statute of limitations that starts running from the date of the crash, not from when injuries fully reveal themselves. The Kryder Law Group, LLC Accident and Injury Lawyers represents Evergreen Park, IL residents hurt in commercial truck and semi-truck collisions, and the firm structures its early casework around that deadline while liability questions are still being sorted out.
Liability in a trucking case is rarely limited to the driver alone. The firm evaluates whether the commercial driver acted negligently, whether the trucking company failed to properly train or supervise its drivers, and whether a manufacturing defect in the truck’s design contributed to the crash. Common causes the firm cites include driver fatigue, speeding, improperly loaded cargo, distracted driving, and mechanical failure, each of which points toward a different potentially liable party. Injuries from semi-truck collisions tend to be severe, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries, which the firm factors into claims for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical costs.
The firm’s process includes gathering police reports and medical records, consulting with accident reconstruction experts, negotiating directly with the trucking company’s insurer, and litigating in court when an insurer will not offer a fair settlement. Evergreen Park residents can reach the firm at (312) 223-1700 to discuss a truck accident claim.
