If you or a loved one was involved in an accident with a tractor trailer truck (also called 18-wheelers or big rigs), you may be eligible to recover damages, such as medical expenses, property damage, and other losses, in a lawsuit.
You deserve to know your legal rights after an accident that was not your fault. Call Pintas & Mullins Law Firm today for a free case evaluation at (800) 794-0444.
Severe Injuries Are More Common in These Accidents
Tractor trailer trucks, when fully loaded, can weigh more than ten times the average passenger car. This size difference alone can make it more likely that you may suffer a severe injury in an accident, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Organ loss or damage
- Crushed or broken bones
- Twisted, sprained, or torn ligaments, muscles, or cartilage
- Neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
It can take weeks, months, or even years to fully recover from these injuries. Some people are left permanently disabled or have lifelong medical conditions. You should not have to continue to suffer from someone else’s reckless act. An Aurora tractor trailer truck accident lawyer with Pintas & Mullins Law Firm does not shy away from the tough cases and will stand up to the insurance company or a huge trucking company to pursue the compensation you deserve.
How Our Aurora Tractor Trailer Truck Accident Lawyers Can Help You
Most trucking companies dispatch an investigator, a lawyer, and an insurance adjuster immediately after an accident. They are not there to offer you help. They are there to prevent you from recovering the compensation and justice you deserve.
Our legal team at Pintas & Mullins Law Firm will:
- Review your case at no cost or obligation, either in your home, the hospital, our office, or over the telephone.
- Secure the evidence, documentation, and testimony needed to build a strong case of liability and negligence.
- Identify all liable parties.
- Assess the value for your damages.
- File a claim with the other party’s insurance company.
We can negotiate for a fair settlement on your behalf. If the other side refuses to negotiate in good faith, we can take your case to trial.
Time Is Limited for Legal Action
Every state has its own statute of limitations to file a claim in a personal injury case. In the state of Illinois, according to 735 ILCS 5/ Code of Civil Procedure, you have only two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you try to take legal action after that deadline, your complaint will be dismissed.
A member of our legal team at Pintas & Mullins Law Firm can discuss the details of your case for free today. Find out if you have a compelling case to pursue compensation for the injuries you have suffered in an Aurora, IL trailer truck accident.
