Not all motor vehicle accidents in Chicago, Evanston, and Cook County, Illinois are car accidents. If you have experienced a truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian accident, you need a lawyer you can trust. Attorney Roger D. Rudich has 30 years of legal experience, and he knows how to secure the maximum possible compensation for clients with serious personal injuries.
Because trucks are larger and heavier than normal passenger vehicles, they tend to cause far more damage in accidents and more serious injuries to those involved. This raises the stakes for the victims of a truck accident. A lawyer who handles truck accident claims can hold truck drivers, their employers, and other liable parties responsible for any damages, injuries, and loss of life resulting from their negligence.
Chicago, Evanston, and Cook County, Illinois truck accident lawyer Roger Rudich knows that many truck accidents are caused by negligence on the part of drivers and others. Drivers who are tired, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or driving recklessly can be held accountable for the consequences of their actions. Additionally, trucking companies who employ drivers with bad safety records, fail to adequately maintain vehicles, or set unrealistic productivity goals bear some of the responsibility for resulting accidents. Finally, if a load is hazardous and is improperly contained, transported, or handled, parties responsible for creating these conditions — including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers — may be partly to blame. A knowledgeable truck accident lawyer will be able to investigate the incident and determine what went wrong and who is to blame.
Because motorcyclists have much less protection than drivers of other vehicles, the results of the average motorcycle accident tend to be more serious. A settlement secured by your motorcycle accident attorney should reflect this. While many motorists use extra caution around motorcycle riders, some, unfortunately, do not. When this turns out to be the case, serious — even disabling or fatal — accidents may result.
Because motorcyclists are often difficult to spot on the road, many motorists simply don't see riders until it is too late. All responsible motorcyclists know this and take steps to ensure their safety. Still, the fact is that a motorcycle accident is simply more dangerous than one in a closed motor vehicle. Property damage may be a less serious concern in a motorcycle accident, since motorcycles are less expensive than cars. However, the medical bills associated with the accident — generally the primary cost to begin with — may be much higher.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or disabled in a motorcycle accident, you have rights. Speaking to an experienced legal professional such as Chicago and Cook County, Illinois motorcycle accident attorney Roger D. Rudich can be an important part of protecting your rights and securing your future.
Car, motorcycle, and truck operators aren't the only ones at risk in an accident. Pedestrians are also at risk. For a personal injury lawyer like attorney Roger Rudich, these cases are just as important. Because motor vehicles pose such a grave risk to pedestrians, pedestrians often have very strong cases when they sustain serious injuries.
