Arlington Heights Injury Lawyers

As a suburban village of Chicago in Cook County, Arlington Heights is densely populated with less than 17 square miles and over 75,000 residents. The village is situated approximately 25 miles northwest of the Chicago downtown metropolitan area, close to Palatine, Bolingbrook and Schaumburg.

Visitors and residents in the community have access to Union Pacific/Northwest rail lines providing service between Chicago and Harvard, Illinois. Motorists can use Illinois Route 53 and Interstate 90 with easy access to Chicago suburbs and O’Hare international Airport.

Major employers in Arlington Heights include the Arlington Park Racetrack, Northwest Community Hospital, Level III Communications, Paddock Publications, Lutheran Home Alexian Brothers Health System, Weber Marking Systems and others.

There is a high rate of vehicle accidents involving commercial trucks in the Chicagoland area. Because of that, many victims of a commercial vehicle accident will hire a personal injury attorney to seek financial compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering and damages.

Arlington Heights Personal Injury Attorneys

Arlington Personal Injury LawyerThe high demand for products and goods delivered by trucks into the Chicago area crowd many of the roadways in Illinois, including those in Arlington Heights. Because of that, there is an excessive amount of commercial truck accidents in Northeast Illinois involving serious injuries and fatalities. The weight and size of a large commercial vehicle increase the potential of catastrophic injury when it collides with passenger cars.

Often times, the causes of the meat and on commercial truck accidents involve trucker mistakes, negligence, distraction or defective equipment. Victims often file lawsuits and claims against the truck driver, the trucking company, trucking maintenance crews and other parties.

Skilled Arlington Heights personal injury lawyers working on behalf of the victim can reconstruct the scene of the accident in an effort to determine what parties are liable for injuries, damages or fatalities. The efforts of the attorney can help determine the cause of the accident, which could include:

  • Cargo loads shifting during transport
  • Improper vehicle maintenance
  • Faulty braking systems and defective tires
  • Spilt hazardous material
  • Excessively heavy load exceeding regulated gross weight for the vehicle
  • Poor visibility during bad weather conditions
  • Inadequate supervision and training of the truck driver
  • Driver impairment caused by fatigue, alcohol or drug use, or distraction such as talking to passengers, speaking on the phone, texting or watching videos
  • Driver negligence including not allowing an adequate amount of stopping distance
  • Careless behavior or erratic driving

Filing a Claim

Reputable Arlington Heights personal injury lawyers can file a claim or lawsuit to hold additional parties accountable for injuries or fatalities. Other third parties such as the trucking company might be liable for the accident if they improperly trained the truck driver or hired a driver without adequate experience. The trucking company may also be at fault if the vehicle was improperly maintained. The company might have demanded that the trucker maintain an unreasonable schedule, causing the driver to operate the vehicle at excessive speeds.

Skilled attorneys who specialize in commercial truck accidents can build a solid case for financial compensation. The lawyers will investigate the accident and gather evidence including driver’s logs, credentials and training. The law firm can determine if the trucker was abusing alcohol or drugs. Other factors affecting the case include the current conditions of the weather and roadway at the time of the accident.

I was very happy that we decided to hire these attorneys

"I was very happy that we decided to hire these attorneys to help me with a hit and run accident that left me in the hospital for three weeks. After getting the run around from the insurance company, these guys took care of getting all of my medical records and bills and were able to get the case settled in about 90 days. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a top notch law firm in Chicago for a personal injury case. Very pleased with their service."
