Legal Counsel After a Truck Accident

The destructive nature of a tractor-trailer accident or other commercial truck accident can leave accident victims and their families with questions and feelings of helplessness.

When an 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle, the result inevitably will be devastating — resulting in life-changing injuries for survivors and leaving families of fatal accident victims to grieve their loss. At Becker, Schroader & Chapman, PC, our attorneys guide injured clients and the families of fatal accident victims through the aftermath of a tragic truck crash.

Working To Maximize Your Recovery

Our attorneys take the time to thoroughly assess your case and truly understand how the accident has affected your life and the lives of your family members. We work with your doctors as well as with vocational experts, life-care planners, economists, and other experts to understand and quantify your loss. This enables our lawyers to present compelling evidence about your injuries or loss, and about the full compensation to which you are entitled.

Our lawyers seek to maximize your recovery by thoroughly investigating the cause of the truck accident and all sources of liability by asking the following questions:

Did inadequate warning signs of an upcoming construction zone contribute to a highway semi-truck collision and vehicle pileup?
Did defective couplers or other defective truck parts cause or contribute to the accident?
Did careless driving lead to a truck vs. car collision?
Did strict time constraints cause a trucker to drive too many hours without rest, contributing to driver fatigue?
Did the company have a history of negligent hiring practices — hiring drivers with poor driving records, chemical abuse problems, or criminal records?
Did dangerous road or highway conditions contribute to the severity of the truck accident?
Did improper loading of the truck bed contribute to a semi-truck rollover?

A Track Record of Proven Results

Our law firm obtained an $8.6 million verdict in a product liability case arising from a trailer accident caused by a defective trailer coupler. The compensation will alleviate the financial burdens associated with the accident, including challenges associated with the victim's brain injury.

While we cannot guarantee or make promises of results, our firm has a history of recovering significant compensation for accident victims and their families in Southern Illinois and Missouri. We attribute this success to our diligent investigation, focused case preparation, and genuine concern for protecting the interests of truck accident victims and their families.
