Professional truck drivers have specialized training in safety and must meet specific regulations, depending on the type of hauls they are moving. Drivers must follow state and federal regulations that establish minimum safety requirements.
Regulations require drivers to stop operating their trucks after a certain number of hours to prevent fatigue and tiredness. Divers and companies are required to keep their tractor-trailers in proper operating conditions. When drivers and companies put profits before these requirements, they put the motoring public in danger.
Since the nature of many of drivers is hauling loads across state lines, it is common that the driver or company originated outside of Illinois. Figuring out who to sue or where to file a lawsuit can be complicated and discouraging. It is important you have an attorney with years of experience litigating these types of cases.
