Wrecks involving large trucks and 18-wheelers are particularly violent and dangerous, especially for occupants of smaller cars. If a passenger car and an 18-wheeler collide, the car occupants often fare far worse than the truck driver. The difference in size between passenger cars and large trucks means that occupants of cars often face serious injuries or even fatalities in collisions involving a semi-truck.
We help Illinois locals injured with claims involving:
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Long-term or permanent injuries
Our legal team is fully prepared to take a case to trial when necessary to pursue fair and full justice. We’ve successfully managed severe trucking collision claims for individuals who have endured amputations, chemical burns, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other catastrophic injuries.

Truck Crash Cases
There are a variety of reasons that large trucks and 18-wheelers get involved in collisions. Sometimes the truck driver makes a negligent error or is intoxicated. Other times, mechanical defects cause the truck to malfunction and crash or collide into other vehicles as a result, so even though the driver is driving safely, accidents still occur. Still other times, the truck driver’s employer is at fault for not exercising proper cautions for the safety and security of drivers and their trucks. Regardless of the reason for the accident, results can be catastrophic and even fatal for those involved.
Our firm handles a variety of trucking accident cases, including those that involve:
- Drunk Driving
- Mechanical Defects and Malfunctions
- Employer Negligence and Liability
- Truck Driver Error
- No-Zone Accidents

From the initial consultation, we are upfront about potential outcomes and understand that our clients have already suffered great pain and loss.

The large size of trucks in comparison to other vehicles on the road poses an inherent danger to all other drivers. Although most trucking companies take steps to screen employees and keep equipment in top working order, it only takes one negligent driver or faulty truck to cause a serious crash resulting in extensive damage, injuries, or death.
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a collision involving a large truck, you may be entitled to legal compensation. With over 20 years of injury law & civil litigation experience, Spiros Law fights insurance companies and represents injured drivers throughout Illinois.
