The Dangers of Semi-Truck Collisions in Illinois
Crashes involving semi-trucks and passenger vehicles are often devastating due to the size and weight difference between the vehicles. High-speed impacts can result in severe injuries, requiring emergency extrication, air medical transport, and long-term medical treatment.
Common causes of semi-truck collisions include driver fatigue, failure to yield, improper lane changes, and poor weather conditions. Victims of these crashes may suffer from serious injuries such as fractures, spinal trauma, and head injuries, leading to significant medical expenses, lost wages, and prolonged rehabilitation.
For those injured in truck accidents, seeking immediate medical care, obtaining a police report, and documenting the scene are critical steps. If negligence was involved, victims may have legal options to pursue compensation for their injuries and losses.
