When Is a Commercial Truck Driver Liable for a Traffic Collision in Chicago, Illinois?
When large commercial vehicles, including semi-trucks, delivery vans, and other commercial trucks, are involved in a collision, multiple parties may be investigated for negligence.
Common causes of commercial truck accidents that may place the driver at fault include:
-
Driver fatigue
-
Reckless or aggressive driving
-
Speeding
-
Distracted driving, including electronic device use
-
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
-
Failure to obey traffic signs and signals
If a truck driver was speeding or violating hours-of-service regulations under direct orders from their employer, both the driver and the trucking company may be held liable for the collision.
Our experienced truck accident attorneys in Chicago will review the details of your case to identify all applicable insurance coverage options and pursue maximum compensation from one or multiple responsible parties.
Can I Pursue a Commercial Delivery Driver for Financial Recovery After a Collision in Chicago, Illinois?
As demand for deliveries continues to rise nationwide, commercial delivery drivers in Chicago working for companies like Amazon, UPS, FedEx, Walmart, and independent contractors are operating large delivery vehicles in record numbers.
Depending on the circumstances of the crash—such as driver impairment, speeding, or other negligent actions—the delivery driver may be held directly responsible for your injuries.
If the employer contributed to the accident, both insurance policies may be pursued for your financial recovery.
Many local delivery services, including Grubhub and DoorDash, carry up to $1 million in insurance coverage, while larger corporations such as UPS and FedEx may carry policies of up to $5 million for injuries caused by their drivers.
