Trucking Accident Lawyers in Carpentersville Illinois

Hidden amongst Illinois’ vast landscape of stunning modern architecture and historical landmarks lies an unpredictably dangerous territory — our state’s bustling highways. Navigated daily by countless semi-trucks, they are arteries of commerce serving the lifeblood of businesses throughout the United States. However, with their enormous size and mass come a significant risk for catastrophic accidents. At Carlson Bier, we stand on the front line defending victims who have encountered such harrowing experiences.

Our extensive knowledge in trucking accident law sets us apart from other personal injury attorneys based in Illinois. We understand that unlike regular car accidents; truck collisions involve more serious injuries, complex insurance policies, federal regulations, and potential multiple liable parties.

• Trucking companies often deploy sophisticated investigation teams at accident scenes to limit their liability.

• Certain commercial vehicle-specific federal laws may apply to your case.

• The condition of a semi-truck must be meticulously scrutinized during investigations; faulty brakes or tires can be crucial determinants in proving negligence.

Assuredly, dealing with truck accidents is a complex undertaking where expert legal representation is not just an advantage—it’s paramount. Herein lies the role of our seasoned team at Carlson Bier—with decades-long combined experience helping clients win cases against some of the largest trucking companies across America—we will fight tirelessly until you secure every penny you deserve.

We realize how overwhelming it can be to navigate these frightening circumstances while nursing physical ailments and emotional trauma—a typical plight after surviving severe collisions—therefore we extend assistance beyond legal aspects into areas offering comprehensive care for your overall well-being.

As committed advocates for justice, we believe no victim should surrender any part of their compensation claim due to lack of information or resources. Accordingly, we provide complimentary consultations—to discuss what happened specifically in your case—and outline possible paths leading to fair reparation for damages incurred through health complications or lost wages caused by someone else’s recklessness. Accentuating this ethos further is our contingency fee service. Meaning, unless we are successful at helping you obtain a settlement or win your lawsuit, our services come free of charge.

At Carlson Bier, resident personal injury lawyers map every move in the aftermath of being victim to truck accidents in Illinois by:

• Scrupulously reviewing dispatch logs, weight tickets, maintenance records, and driver’s history.

• Collecting evidence from the accident scene that can support your case.

• Collaborating with forensic crash experts to reconstruct the accident scene to demonstrate who was truly at fault.

• Consulting medical experts for comprehensive health evaluations to validate claims about physical trauma sustained due to an accident.

We comprehend that each trucking accident is unique and has consequences that impact lives on various levels: physically devastating injuries, irreversible emotional scars, daunting financial burdens. Our promise is a compassionate approach coupled with uncompromising aggression when representing you against large insurance companies determined not just on proving innocence but also minimizing compensation awarded.

Our unequivocal commitment resides in bringing you justice. Remember—fair compensation isn’t merely what insurers persuade you to settle for; it’s what rightly aids recovery encompassing all aspects: present surgical expenses, future rehabilitation costs, lost wages—even noneconomic damages for pain and suffering endured post-accident.

In closing up this session—one where words fail miserably trying to encapsulate hope amid harrowing uncertainties—a resounding yet humble assertion emerges from Carlson Bier: “We fight for more than just fair settlements; we fight for peace!” You’re cordially invited—the one denied rightfully earned tranquility because of someone else’s negligence—to embrace revamped aspirations crafted by experienced advocates defending your cause relentlessly!

Curious minds await below—wondering how much their cases might be worth—and rightly so! Now enriched armed with vital facts surrounding navigating truck accidents’ repercussions; isn’t it time deciding whether your story gets etched among numerous victorious testimonials awaiting those who dare challenge unfair norms dictated by colossal, faceless corporations?

Notable Illinois Appellate Wins

Moruzzi v. CCC Servs., Inc., 2020 IL App (2d) 190411, 171 N.E.3d 61
Background: Insured motorist filed action against insurer for declaratory judgment seeking construction of automobile insurance policy issued to insured and that was in effect when insured was injured by an underinsured driver. The Circuit Court, DuPage County, Bonnie M. Wheaton, J., granted the insurer's motions for summary judgment. Insured appealed.Holdings: The Appellate Court, Zenoff, J., held that:1 medical payments reduction clause in automobile insurance policy conflicted with underinsured motorist provisions so as to render reduction clause ambiguous, and thus medical payment benefits were deductible from insured's damages;2 law firm representing insured did not create common fund or common funds when it reached settlement with underinsured motorist, and thus law firm was not entitled to recover fees under common-fund doctrine; and3 collateral estoppel did not bar automobile insurers from litigating whether common-fund doctrine applied in insured motorist's declaratory judgment action.Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
Maier v. CC Servs., Inc., 2019 IL App (3d) 170640, 132 N.E.3d 795
Background: After insured, who was injured in automobile collision with another driver, recovered full liability limits of driver's policy, she filed amended complaint for declaratory judgment against her own automobile insurer, alleging that insurer breached contractual duty to pay for insured's damages in accordance with uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage in insured's policy and that insurer acted in bad faith in denying insured such coverage. The Circuit Court, La Salle County, Troy D. Holland, J., granted the insurer's motion to dismiss claims as time-barred. Insured appealed.The Appellate Court ruled that neither the insurer nor the insured could add amended policy provisions to the court record. It was decided that the policy's requirement for a written arbitration demand applied to both uninsured and underinsured motorist claims. The court found that a letter from the insured's attorney to the insurer wasn't a valid arbitration demand nor a proof of loss to toll the statute of limitations. Finally, the insurer was permitted to use the defense based on the two-year statute of limitations period. The court's decision was affirmed.
Econ. Premier Assurance Co. v. Country Mut. Ins. Co., 2021 IL App (1st) 192364-U
Holding: The circuit court's order that granted defendant's motion for summary judgment and denied plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment was proper where defendant had no duty to indemnify its insured with respect to the underlying complaint and therefore plaintiff was not entitled to recover against defendant on its subrogation or unjust enrichment claims; affirmed.
Country Preferred Ins. Co. v. Westerheide, 2023 IL App (5th) 220343-U
Holding: The court affirmed judgment of the circuit court granting summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff where the defendant failed to make a written demand for arbitration within two years from the date of the accident as required by the underinsured provisions of the defendant's automotive insurance policy.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Olsak, 2022 IL App (1st) 200695, 216 N.E.3d 291
In a complex legal case, an insurer sought to avoid defending or indemnifying a hockey player under a policy issued to the player's stepfather after the player was sued for assaulting his coach. The initial Circuit Court ruling favored the insurer, but the Appellate Court reversed this decision, leading to a protracted legal battle. Ultimately, the Appellate Court determined the insurer was liable only up to the $3 million policy limit and found the insurer's four-year delay in seeking a declaratory judgment to be reasonable. This case highlights important aspects of insurance litigation and policy limit liabilities.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Durkin Elec. Co., Inc., 2022 IL App (1st) 210293-U, appeal denied, 199 N.E.3d 1187 (Ill. 2022)
Holding: The circuit court's order that denied plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment and found that defendant was an additional insured under the policy was proper. The circuit court's order that denied defendant's motion for summary judgment and found that plaintiff did not have a duty to defend or indemnify defendant under the policy was proper; affirmed.
Country Preferred Ins. Co. v. Groen, 2017 IL App (4th) 160028, 69 N.E.3d 911
Background: Uninsured motorist (UM) carrier brought action against insured for declaratory judgment that it owed no benefits since workers' compensation received by insured exceeded policy limits. The Circuit Court, Sangamon County, Chris Perrin, J., entered summary judgment in favor of the carrier. Insured appealed.Holdings: The Appellate Court, Harris, J., held that:1 employer's medical payments entitled carrier to setoff, and2 setoff clauses were enforceable.Affirmed.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Frobish, 2021 IL App (3d) 190473-U
Holding: Allegations in the underlying complaint that a township employee caused property damage by excavating and digging out a ditch failed to impose a duty to defend under township employee's individual farm insurance policy.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Jones, 2018 IL App (1st) 173154-U
Holding: The judgment of the circuit court of Cook County is affirmed; plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment on its claim for a declaratory judgment that it has no duty to defend or indemnify its insured against the underlying complaint because the loss claimed in the underlying complaint is subject to an exclusion. The court held that it would also enter judgment for plaintiff because the underlying complaint does not allege an “occurrence” causing bodily injury within the meaning of the policy.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Schmitt, 2021 IL App (5th) 190173-U
Holding: The appellate court reversed and remanded the judgment of the circuit court where plaintiff had no duty to defend its insured and thus was not stopped from raising policy defenses to coverage for the underlying tort action contained in the amended declaratory action.
Country Mut. Ins. Co. v. Livorsi Marine, Inc., 222 Ill. 2d 303, 856 N.E.2d 338 (2006) (the late Keith Carlson)
Liability insurer brought action against insureds for a declaratory judgment based on failure to provide timely notice of lawsuits against them. The Circuit Court, Cook County, Stephen A. Schiller, J., entered judgment for the insurer. Insureds appealed. The Appellate Court, Wolfson, J., 358 Ill.App.3d 880, 295 Ill.Dec. 665, 833 N.E.2d 871, affirmed.

AAA Aerostar, Inc., 294 Ill.App.3d 801, 229 Ill.Dec. 20, 690 N.E.2d 1067, and Cincinnati Insurance Co. v. Baur's Opera House, Inc., 296 Ill.App.3d 1011, 230 Ill.Dec. 624, 694 N.E.2d 593, and2 insured did not need to prove that it was prejudiced by delayed notice of lawsuits.Affirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trucking Accident FAQ​

Trucking accidents are often caused by a combination of factors, including driver fatigue, mechanical failures, improper loading of cargo, speeding, and inadequate driver training. External factors like poor road conditions and bad weather can also contribute.

Safety first: move to a safe area if possible. Call emergency services for medical and police assistance. Document the scene with photos and notes, and gather contact information from witnesses and all involved parties. It’s also crucial to seek medical attention, even if you feel fine, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.

Liability in trucking accidents can be complex. It may involve the truck driver, the trucking company, manufacturers of truck parts, or other third parties. An investigation will typically look into the driver’s actions, vehicle maintenance records, the trucking company’s compliance with regulations, and other factors to determine fault.

Victims of trucking accidents may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In some cases, punitive damages might be awarded, especially if gross negligence or intentional misconduct is involved.

Trucking accidents often involve complex legal and regulatory issues. An attorney with experience in this field can navigate federal and state trucking laws, deal with large trucking companies and their insurers, and help ensure that you receive fair compensation. They can also assist in gathering evidence and expert testimonies necessary for building a strong case.
