Although it is, unfortunately, incredibly common to see the results of a car accident on the side of the road, the impact of a truck accident can be much more significant than a crash involving only passenger vehicles. The size of a large truck, such as a semi-truck, means that much more damage and more severe injuries can be caused in a truck accident. Anyone in Illinois who has been injured in such an accident may have the legal right to pursue financial compensation from the negligent parties who caused them harm.
