Moving Van or Truck Accidents in Palatine, Illinois
When it is time to relocate, a moving van or truck can be a lifesaver. While moving trucks serve a useful purpose, they can also lead to devastating injuries when they are involved in accidents.
If you suffered through an accident with a moving truck, we understand that you are likely going through a lot of physical, emotional, and financial stress. Our job is to make sure you do not suffer further harm.
We can investigate your Palatine moving van or truck accident and help to identify all parties who may be liable so that you can seek the compensation to which you may be entitled.
Multiple Parties Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident
Unlike most car accidents, where it is usually just one of the drivers who is held culpable, multiple parties can often be liable in a truck accident.
Once we identify the accountable parties, we can gather evidence to help prove their liability and then pursue compensation.
The Driver of the Van or Truck
The driver of the moving van or truck may be held liable if their actions directly led to the collision. We will investigate to determine whether they were violating a traffic law or otherwise engaging in negligent or risky driving behavior at the time of the crash.
The Driver’s Employer
If the driver was working for a moving company, we may be able to pursue their employer for damages under Illinois’ vicarious liability laws. These regulations, set out in the State of Illinois Transportation Compendium of Law, include a set of rules stating that a company may be held liable for injuries or property damage caused by one of their workers on the job.
The Rental Company
If the driver was not a professional mover but someone operating the truck for personal use, we can pursue financial recovery from the company from whom they rented the vehicle.
The Truck’s Manufacturer
If a defective vehicle component contributed to the accident, the truck’s manufacturer may be held liable under Illinois’s product liability laws.

Your Palatine Moving Van or Truck Accident Compensation
One of the first questions many of our injured clients ask involves the value of their claim. While we cannot estimate a dollar value without knowing the specifics of your case, we can tell you based on years of experience that many of our clients injured in moving truck accidents have been able to recover compensation for the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Vehicle damage
- Pain and suffering and inconvenience
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
When you seek the value of damages for your accident, your losses can be divided into two categories, general damages, and specific damages.
Specific damages cover expenses that have a tangible value. For example, if the accident impacted your car, the estimated cost from your mechanic qualifies under this type of damage.
General damages can be challenging to calculate since they refer to non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering. If you have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of your accident, then a moving van or truck accident lawyer can work with you to determine an estimated value for your condition.
