Highway Accidents

Because of the high speeds typically involved in highway accidents, the drivers and passengers in smaller vehicles are far more likely to suffer catastrophic injuries and death. Another danger from trucking accidents along interstates is the potential for the trailer to contain hazardous materials, posing a threat to everyone around.

If your family has been affected by an Illinois highway accident involving a car, a truck or a tractor trailer, contact the Chicago law office of Cogan & McNabola. We help people who have been injured and families who have lost a loved one to wrongful death in highway accidents along:

  • I-94 (Edens Expressway)
  • I-294 (Tri State Tollway)
  • I-90 (Kennedy Expressway)
  • I-190 (Chicago Skyway toll road)
  • I-290 (Eisenhower Expressway)
  • I-55 (Adlai Stevenson Expressway)
  • I-94 (Bishop Ford freeway, Dan Ryan Expressway)
  • I-57

Determining the Causes of Highway Truck and Car Accidents

A thorough investigation of the evidence in a highway accident is critical in proving your accident claim. Our trial attorneys work with leading experts in Illinois and across the nation to reconstruct the accident and to recover physical evidence. We look for eyewitnesses as well as videotape evidence from cameras along the highway.

Speed is often a factor in highway accidents. We will investigate the driving record of the other driver - especially truck drivers - to see if he or she has a history of reckless driving.
