Legal Help for Truck Crash Victims in Wood Dale and Melrose Park

It is not an exaggeration to say that the American economy relies heavily on the trucking industry. Every year, more than 3.5 million drivers haul nearly 11 billion tons of goods across America's highways, burning nearly 40 billion gallons of fuel. A standard tractor-trailer unit is allowed to be up 70 feet long and can weigh a full 40 tons. Oversized trucks that are larger and heavier are allowed on the road with special certification.

Due to their massive size and staggering weight, commercial trucks are extremely dangerous if and when they crash. A mere moment of driver inattention or a malfunction in the truck itself can have catastrophic results. When a large truck is involved in an accident, however, it is rarely the driver who suffers the worst injuries; other drivers and passengers on the road are much more likely to be severely injured or killed.
