Truck Accident Attorneys Calumet City

We depend on tractor trailers, 18-wheelers, and other big rigs to deliver the products and goods we rely upon on a daily basis. Unfortunately, sharing the road with these massive vehicles can endanger other motorists. When truck accidents do occur, it is often other drivers who suffer the most severe injuries. At The Horwitz Law Group., we provide the strong legal representation you need when these types of accidents occur. Our Calumet City truck accident attorneys have more than 20 years of combined experience defending the rights of victims in these cases and can help you get the compensation you are entitled to for your injuries.
