Chicago Overloaded Truck And Unsecured Load Accident Attorneys

Illinois law strictly limits commercial truck weight and requires secure cargo loading. Violating safety rules creates immense danger for Chicago drivers.

Barney & Karamanis, LLP, has achieved over 30 years of positive results fighting for people like you in the Chicagoland area. Our focus is on dispute resolution, and we are known for winning groundbreaking cases.

Who Is Liable For Overloaded Truck And Unsecured Load Accidents in Chicago?

Accidents caused by overloaded trucks and unsecured loads are unique. They are not typical fender benders. When a tractor-trailer exceeds weight limits or loses cargo, the results are catastrophic: rollovers, crushing injuries and multicar crashes. This is why determining who is truly at fault is key to your claim.

Liability can extend far beyond the truck driver. Responsibility may lie with the company that loaded the cargo, the trucking firm itself or the truck’s owner.

A dynamic and aggressive attorney from our firm can work to identify every responsible party. We have the proven ability to argue cases at trial, which helps us secure better outcomes.

What Compensation Can You Recover After An Accident In Illinois?

If you were hurt by an overloaded truck or falling debris, your recovery may include payment for:

• Medical bills and future treatment costs
• Lost wages and reduced ability to earn
• Damages for your physical pain and suffering

We will take on big opponents like large insurance companies. You should also know that the Illinois statute of limitations places a strict time limit on filing these claims. For most personal injury claims, you have two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. Claims against a government entity can have a shorter one-year deadline.

Do not delay. Acting quickly gives our dedicated lawyer the best chance to build the strongest possible case.
