Buffalo Grove, IL Truck Accident Lawyer

Buffalo Grove, Illinois Truck Accident Injury Attorney

Route 83 is a major highway connecting Buffalo Grove to surrounding towns, state highways, and local roadways. Due to heavy, congested traffic, this route is a common location for serious accidents. When truck accidents occur, the ramifications can be severe, potentially leading to catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death. Kadzai Law Group, LLC has over a decade of experience handling truck accident and personal injury cases, and we are committed to helping victims recover the compensation they need to move forward with their lives.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents on Route 83 and Local Roads

• Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers often work long hours, and fatigue can impair their ability to react quickly or make safe decisions. Federal regulations limit the number of hours a truck driver can be on the road, but these rules are not always followed.
• Speeding and Other Traffic Violations: Commercial trucks are difficult to stop or control due to their size and weight. Higher speeds can significantly increase the risk of deadly accidents. Other violations of traffic laws by truck drivers can also put others on the road in danger of being injured in a collision.
• Improper Maintenance: Failing to address issues like defective brakes, worn tires, or engine malfunctions can lead to dangerous situations where truck drivers may lose control and collide with others.

Determining Liability in Truck Accidents

Accidents involving commercial trucks are often more complicated than standard car accidents due to the number of parties that may be involved. Identifying fault is one of the most critical aspects of these cases, and it requires a thorough investigation. In a typical truck accident, several parties may be held accountable, including:

• The Truck Driver: If a driver acted negligently or recklessly, they may be found to be responsible for causing a collision. Common examples include speeding, distracted driving, intoxicated driving, or violating hours-of-service regulations designed to prevent driver fatigue.
• The Trucking Company: Shipping companies may be responsible for hiring qualified drivers, properly maintaining their fleets, and ensuring that drivers comply with safety regulations. If they fail to follow the proper safety procedures, they may be liable for truck accidents that occur as a result.
• Manufacturers of Defective Truck Parts: Faulty brakes, tires, or steering mechanisms may play a crucial role in truck accidents. The companies that designed, manufactured, or sold these parts may be liable for the injuries victims suffer when these parts break down or malfunction.
• Cargo Loaders: If it is not loaded or secured correctly, cargo can shift during transport, causing a truck to become unbalanced and more prone to accidents. Companies may be responsible for failing to follow the correct procedures when loading cargo and securing it in place.

How Kadzai Law Group, LLC Can Help Address Complex Legal Issues in Truck Accident Cases

Pursuing Maximum Compensation

Victims may experience multiple types of damages following collisions with 18-wheelers or other large trucks. We are dedicated to helping victims recover compensation for:

• Medical Expenses: These may include current and future medical bills related to the accident, addressing the costs of surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
• Lost Wages: Compensation may address the income a person could not earn due to the inability to work, as well as any diminished earning capacity if the injury prevents them from returning to work.
• Pain and Suffering: A person may be compensated for their physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life resulting from a truck accident.
• Property Damage: A truck accident victim may receive reimbursement for the repair or replacement of a damaged vehicle or any other property affected by a crash.

Investigating the Accident

Kadzai Law Group, LLC works with accident reconstruction experts to analyze the scene of a truck crash, review traffic camera footage, and gather witness statements. We will also examine the truck's electronic logs, maintenance records, and the driver's hours of service to determine if any regulations were violated.

Negotiating With Insurance Companies

Truck accidents often involve multiple insurance companies, including the trucking company's insurer, the truck driver's personal insurance, and any third-party insurance providers. Insurance companies may attempt to minimize payouts or shift blame to avoid liability.
