Moving truck accidents happen more frequently than most people would believe. Often, moving trucks are used repeatedly without proper maintenance and drivers are inexperienced with being in control of such a large vehicle. Determining who may be at-fault for a moving truck accident can be difficult, but an experienced personal injury lawyer can help.

 If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected, and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.

 Liability in a Moving Truck Accident

Most people would assume the driver of the moving truck would be solely liable for a moving truck accident, but that may not always be the case. While driver error and decision-making, such as speeding, driving while under the influence, and inexperience may have contributed to a moving truck accident, other factors may have been at-play, including:

  • Poorly maintained moving truck-Moving truck rental companies rent out thousands of vehicles a year and often do not keep these vehicles properly maintained even with strict federal regulations in place. If a truck rental company fails to keep their fleet inspected and in good working order, they can be found liable for damages and injuries sustained in a moving truck accident.
  • Manufacturing defects-If equipment failure contributed to a moving truck accident, the manufacturer of that equipment may be found at least partially liable for the damages and injuries their defective part caused.

Fair Compensation in a Moving Truck Accident

As the victim of a moving truck accident, you are entitled to fair compensation for your damages and injuries. An experienced personal injury lawyer can fight for your right to the maximum compensation allowed under Illinois law for the following:

  • Medical treatment-Moving truck accidents can be catastrophic. You may be entitled to compensation for the ambulance ride, emergency room fees, surgery fees, rehabilitation, and any on-going care you may have.
  • Pain and suffering-Illinois allows victims in moving truck accidents to be compensated for the emotional anguish you may have suffered during and after the accident, including if your injuries are permanent.
  • Lost wages-If you are injured you are unable to work. You may be entitled to compensation for the time you missed work, the opportunities you may have lost due to being away from work, and if you are permanently disabled, lost earning capacity.
  • Wrongful death-If a moving truck accident resulted in the death of your loved one, you may be entitled to compensation for their wrongful death, including funeral expenses, medical bills, loss of future income, loss of inheritance, and pain and suffering.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a moving truck accident, it is important to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you receive the compensation that is fair and that you are entitled to.
