Was the Truck Adequately Maintained?
Federal and state rules on inspection, repair and maintenance of 18-wheeler trucks require that regular safety checks be conducted and that records of maintenance must be kept in maintenance logs. When a 10,000-plus pound truck is not properly maintained, accidents can occur, with deadly results. These are accidents that should never have happened if the truckers were following the law.
If you or a family member has suffered serious injury because of semi-truck accident, Dinizulu Law Group, Ltd., is dedicated to pursuing compensation for your injuries suffered in the Chicagoland area and throughout Illinois.
