Truck Accidents

Prominent Illinois Trucking Accident Attorney

Every year on highways throughout Illinois, there are over 4200 large commercial truck accidents that result in injuries and deaths. Because the Chicago area is the major metropolitan transportation hub of the Midwest, our expressways are crowded with inattentive, under-trained, or possibly intoxicated truck drivers. Unfortunately, when a car is involved in a truck wreck with an 18-wheeler, the car driver and passengers nearly always suffer the worst of the injuries.

The personal injury law firm of Rice & Associates, Ltd., has been helping people recover compensation for personal injury and wrongful death claims resulting from trucking accidents for more than twenty years. Attorney Patrick Rice is a former insurance defense attorney who knows the legal strategies that insured and self-insured trucking companies use in order to reduce their trucking accident liability. We use our experience in the area of motor vehicle accident injury claims to investigate all possible options for liability for your claim.

We investigate every insurance possibility to recover money

In many tractor trailer accidents, the truck driver is not the only party who may be liable. There may be the dock workers responsible for loading the truck improperly. There may also be liability on the part of an independence maintenance contractor who failed to service the truck properly. There may even be truck equipment manufacturers that supplied faulty tires, brake pads, or other vital equipment necessary for the safe operation of these massive vehicles.

A team of professionals to develop the strongest case possible

We rely on a network of professionals and experts to thoroughly investigate your trucking accident and the full extent of your injuries or wrongful death claim. We even cover all of the costs of the investigation and case development until you receive compensation in a settlement or by a jury award. Trucking accident injury and wrongful death claims often take several years to settle, as the trucking companies and other liable parties put up a continuous wall of legal roadblocks to force you to settle too early.

And through the duration of your trucking accident claim we will keep you fully informed about how legal strategies will affect your case, and how your decisions will affect your settlement.
