Did you lose a loved one in a Chicago 18-wheeler accident?
Injuries caused by accidents involving 18-wheelers, tractor trailers, and large commercial trucks are typically severe and sometimes result in death. When an 80,000 pound big-rig collides with an average passenger car it’s a recipe for disaster and can have devastating results. If you or a loved one has been hurt in such an accident, it’s vital to have an experienced Chicago personal injury lawyer on your side.

Understanding what caused an 18-wheeler truck accident is crucial to properly investigating how your accident happened. In any accident your lawyer has to know what he’s looking for and where to start. Though your accident may have occurred in Chicago, the trucker and/or the trucking company may be in another state, which poses more complications. So it is doubly important to have an attorney who understands all the complexities involved with truck companies and trucking accidents in Chicago and throughout the country.

Mr. De La Paz has 20 years of experience in representing clients who have endured devastating injuries and losses caused by 18-wheeler accidents.

Key questions in a Chicago 18-wheeler accident
