    Experienced Schaumburg Truck Accident Lawyer

    Your Commercial Semi Truck Accident Attorney—Prepared to Fight for You

    If you or someone you love has been injured in a truck accident, you know the devastating impact this event can have. The size and weight of semi-trailers make them particularly destructive in collisions, leading to serious injuries and significant property damage.

    As a Schaumburg truck accident attorney, we have seen firsthand the turmoil caused by these accidents and are here to help you navigate the aftermath. At GWC Injury Lawyers, we will fight tirelessly for your rights. Moreover, we won’t stop until we’ve secured the rightful compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering.

    Typically, accidents occur due to human mistakes, mechanical malfunctions, driving under the influence, or when the company neglects vehicle maintenance or inspection requirements. The first part of seeking justice for truck accident victims is to determine fault, and that’s where we come in.

    What Makes a Commercial Truck Accident Different from a Car Accident?

    Although determining liability in car accidents is usually clear-cut, the responsibility for a truck accident can be significantly more complex and intricate. Besides the truck driver themselves, who may be responsible due to driver error, driver fatigue, or driving while intoxicated, there are many other parties who may be at least partially liable for a trucking-related accident.

    To safeguard themselves from liability and financial burden, commercial trucking companies employ in-house lawyers who are prepared to act at a moment’s notice. Their primary objective is to shift blame away from their drivers as much as they can, in the shortest possible time.

    More Than Four Decades of Experience Fighting for Victims of Truck Accident Cases

    When selecting a lawyer for your semi-truck accident case, think about the firm’s longevity and the lawyers’ acumen. Experienced truck accident attorneys in Schaumburg have a complete understanding of the legal system and can assist you in navigating the legal process.

    Truck accidents can be complex, involving multiple parties and severe consequences. Our legal team is confident in handling such cases throughout Illinois, including the unique challenges presented by accidents in suburban settings like Schaumburg. We have helped thousands of clients maximize their settlements and verdicts, recovering more than $2.5 billion on their behalf.

    What’s the Biggest Mistake You Can Make After a Schaumburg Semi-Truck Accident?

    Following a collision involving a semi-truck, the responsible trucking company will make every effort to reach out to you as quickly as possible. They want to get to you before you retain a lawyer of your own. They know that once you hire legal representation, they’ll ultimately have to pay a significantly larger amount of money.

    To avoid this larger payout, they rush to get to you as soon as possible and do whatever they can to speak with you before you hire an attorney. If a lawyer representing the at-fault trucking company reaches out to you, it’s important to not engage in conversation with them. Under no circumstances should you provide any information, except to inform them that they can communicate with your attorney.
