Truck accidents alter lives in an instant.

At The Horwitz Law Group, our truck accident attorneys in Chicago understand the profound impact these accidents can have on your life, and we stand ready to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.

Understanding the Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can arise from many factors, each with its own legal complexities. Common causes include:

Driver Fatigue: Long hours on the road without adequate rest can lead to decreased alertness and dangerous driving conditions.
Mechanical Failures: Defective safety equipment or mechanical issues, such as brake or steering failure, can contribute significantly to accidents.
Dangerous Road Conditions: Poorly maintained roads or inadequate lighting can create hazardous environments for all drivers.
Substance Abuse: Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol impairs judgment and reaction times, often leading to severe accidents.

Each of these factors requires thorough investigation to establish liability and pursue compensation effectively.

The aftermath of a truck accident is fraught with potential legal challenges. Victims often face aggressive defense tactics from trucking companies and their insurers, who act swiftly to minimize their liability.
