Semi Truck Accidents

IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE HAVE SUFFERED A SERIOUS INJURY, A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER AT HOEY & FARINA CAN HELP!



After being involved in a serious truck accident, the insurance claim agent for the truck driver or trucking company may try to convince you to hold off hiring a personal injury lawyer.

While doing so, the claim agent will begin an immediate accident investigation, attempt to get your statement (even while in the hospital and under medication) and ask you to sign medical authorizations, all for the purpose of reducing the liability of the truck driver or trucking company.

The claim agent knows the longer you delay hiring a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and interests, the better his chances of reducing the insurance company’s financial losses.

Don’t delay! Suffering a serious injury or wrongful death due to the negligence of a truck driver or trucking company can have life long consequences for both you and your family. Each experienced Chicago personal injury lawyer at Hoey & Fraina is dedicated to representing seriously injured individuals and their families throughout the United States.

Hoey & Farina understands that due to licensing, training requirements and vehicle codes unique to commercial truck drivers and trucking companies, truck accident cases are very complex and require immediate investigation on your behalf so key pieces of evidence are not lost forever. (For example: Legally truck drivers’ Hours of Service Logs are required to be retained for only 6 months.)

Hoey & Farina will investigate and determine all possible causes of the truck accident and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) violations, including:


  • Lack of Truck Driver Training
  • Improper Hours of Service Logs (Sleep Deprived / Fatigued Trucker)
  • Driving Drunk
  • Using Drugs While Driving
  • Poor Driving History
  • Failure to Submit to Truck Inspections
  • Over Loaded Truck
  • Poorly Maintained Brakes
  • Lack of or Improper Lights, Safety Reflectors or Warnings
  • Lack of Underguard Protections

If you or a family member has suffered a serious injury, such as:


  • Amputation
  • Blindness
  • Brain Damage / Closed Head Injury
  • CRPS - Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
  • Crush Injury
  • Disfigurement
  • Multiple Broken Bone
  • Paralysis
  • Permanent Disability
  • PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • RSD - Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
  • Spinal Cord Injury
