Chicago Truck Driver Health and How It Can Become a Factor in Truck Accidents

Chicago Truck Accident Attorneys With a Record of Maximum Results

Federal truck regulations place strict requirements on truck companies to ensure that the drivers they hire and place behind the wheel of their commercial trucks do not have health problems that will affect their ability to drive and react safely to traffic conditions. Unfortunately, many truck drivers suffer from health conditions that can cause sudden loss of consciousness behind the wheel, excessive drowsiness, or require medications with dangerous side effects that impair judgment and reduce reaction time.

After a truck accident, the negligent truck driver or truck owner is not likely to admit to having an unsafe health condition that is in violation of federal standards. If you were injured in a truck accident in Illinois, hiring an experienced, knowledgeable lawyer to investigate the cause of the accident and extent of liability and injury is one of the most important ways to protect your rights.

At Cogan & McNabola, P.C., Attorneys at Law, in Chicago, we investigate beyond the skid marks in truck accidents. We look into truck company records to determine whether the driver or company was in violation of health requirements or other regulations. In addition to legal knowledge, we turn to independent professional truck accident reconstruction specialists and other experts in the field of truck accident causes. When we come to the table with our case, the truck company knows that we have our facts in order and are prepared to win in court.
