How Can Drafahl Law Firm Help You Build A Strong Claim for Compensation After a Truck Crash?
In the aftermath of a truck accident, Drafahl Law Firm will go to work on your behalf from day one. Our legal team will:
- Collect data from the trucking company including hours-in-service logs, maintenance logs, and black box data to identify negligence, wrongdoing, or rule violations on the part of the driver or trucking company
- Gather evidence to show how the crash happened and to prove the trucker was to blame, including testimony from witnesses and experts, police reports, crash-scene footage, and more.
- Help you to show the extent of damages by assembling detailed medical records and a record of your pain (head trauma, burns, etc…).
- Identifying all parties liable for losses, including trucking companies who are responsible if their employees are negligent on the job as a result of Illinois’ vicarious liability rules that classify employees as agents of the companies they work for
- Negotiating a settlement when possible or going to court and making a compelling claim so you can recover the damages that you deserve
