TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENTS
According to the US Department of Transportation, there are approximately half-a-million trucking accidents that occur in the United States and 5,000 of those accidents will typically result in a fatality. Given their large size, weight, and potential to lose control on the road, trucks, tractor-trailers, and other commercial vehicles have the ability to cause devastating accidents on the road. Unfortunately, despite their ability to cause major damage to other motorists, there are a variety of unsafe practices that can and have lead to a trucking accident in Illinois, including:
-
Sleep-deprived truck drivers
-
Truck drivers driving under the influence
-
Overloaded or mishandled cargo
