Trucks are and always have been important for transporting big amounts of products or any other equipment, animals and more. With the industry constantly evolving, trucks are also growing in numbers causing numerous traffic accidents throughout the US. These big steel monsters have come a long day since their early days on the roads, but no matter how much technology we apply to them, they are still hard to maneuver and are still big. Truck accidents numbers keep rising according to the reports by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In 2005 in the state of Illinois, about 200 truck accidents took the lives of their victims. Truck accidents may not be as present on the roads as car accidents but are more devastating when they occur.

Truck accidents can lead to:

- Nerve damage;

- Severe bruising;

- Bone fractures;

- Spinal cord injury;

- Wrongful death.

If you have been involved in a truck accident caused by the other party’s negligence or reckless driving and suffered injuries, you can receive an important sum of money as compensation to cover all the damages produced. In order for this to happen, you will need the help of an experienced, competent and determined Illinois truck accident lawyer which will be able to guide you through the entire legal process. Truck accidents can leave severe injuries on the bodies of the victims which will require the best medical care possible, which is not cheap at all. Getting proper compensation will ensure all the medical care expenses, any wages you may lose because of a long physical recovery period, living expenses and all the pain and suffering will be completely covered. In more serious accidents, the injuries may be irreversible and compensation can’t do anything about that, but it will surely help in getting the life you once had closer to you and your family.
