Personal Injury Lawsuits After Trucking Accidents
Using Federal Trucking Regulations and Investigating Driver Error
At the law office of James P. Ginzkey, in Bloomington, Illinois, we have a long record of success representing people injured in trucking accidents on Illinois' roads and highways. We represent both truck drivers and the drivers or passengers in other vehicles who may have been caught up in an accident.
The Knowledge Needed to Handle Complicated Trucking Accident Cases
A trucking accident is a special kind of motor vehicle accident. Without an attorney who has prior experience handling the medical, legal and factual complexities of these types of cases, you run the risk of accepting a financial settlement that does not accurately reflect your medical and financial needs.
Personal injury trial attorney James P. Ginzkey has more than 25 years' experience representing injured people in civil lawsuits — with the primary goal of obtaining full and fair financial compensation via negotiated settlement, mediation, arbitration or a civil jury trial.
Federal Trucking Safety Regulations
Commercial trucking is governed by several different sets of federal trucking safety regulations. Federal trucking regulations have a rule for almost every possible situation that may arise in commercial trucking; your lawyer can use these trucking regulations to help make a strong case that the accident was caused by:
- Truck driver error
- Driver fatigue due to too many hours on the road
- Improper loading of the truck, including overloading and improper balancing
- Improper securing of the load
- Improper maintenance of the truck, causing equipment failure such as a tire blowout or brake failure
- Failure to maintain proper driving logs
- Transport of hazardous materials without required permits and licensure
Only with a thorough understanding of federal trucking regulations such as the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) will your attorney be able to press the responsible parties for a full and fair settlement of your injury claim after a trucking accident.
