Arlington Heights Truck Accident Lawyers
Attorneys in Cook County Serving Victims of Semi-Truck and Tractor Trailer Crashes
In the moments immediately following a crash involving a tractor-trailer or other commercial truck, you are likely to seek treatment for any injuries you may have suffered. At the very same time, the trucking company may already be looking for ways to escape liability-even if the truck driver was at fault for the accident. Regardless of the truth, lawyers and company spokespeople will try to spin the situation so that it appears that you or others were to blame.
Transport carriers and truck drivers are often able to avoid financial responsibility for such accidents because victims are too intimidated to fight back. At Newland & Newland, LLP, our experienced truck accident lawyers are not afraid of trucking companies or their insurers. We are ready and willing to help you pursue the full compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Skilled Representation for Truck Crashes in Schaumburg and Buffalo Grove
In many ways, the trucking industry represents the lifeblood of the American economy. Each year, some 3.5 million truck drivers move 10.4 billion tons of freight, burning more than 38 billion gallons of diesel fuel. A semi-truck pulling a standard trailer forms a unit that can measure up to 70 feet in length and can weigh up to 40 tons when fully loaded. Specially-certified oversized trucks may be even larger and heavier. The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks make them extremely dangerous when they are involved in an accident. The slightest malfunction or a single moment of inattention could have devastating and tragic results. In most cases, however, it is not the truck driver who suffers the most serious injuries; it is the drivers and passengers in other vehicles on the road.
Des Plaines Counsel for Injured Victims
Attorney Gary A. Newland and his team have more than 60 years of combined personal injury experience. Our attorneys are thorough, knowledgeable, and skilled professionals who know how to get the best possible results. We will work hard on your behalf to hold truck drivers and trucking companies responsible for accidents caused by:
- Driver fatigue;
- Drunk or drugged driving;
- Speeding;
- Distracted driving, including cell phone use and texting;
- Poor maintenance and compliance with safety protocols;
- Violations of Department of Transportation rules regarding service and rest periods;
- Improperly secured cargo;
- Tire blowouts;
- Driver error or aggressive driving due to strict carrier deadlines; and
- Substandard or negligent hiring and driver training practices.
The skilled lawyers at our firm understand the importance of determining the cause of your accident. When you contact our firm, we will go right to work investigating the crash so that we can determine exactly what happened and who might be liable. Our firm maintains a large network of experts, including scientists, medical professionals, and financial analysts whose input might be crucial to building a successful case. We can even coordinate your medical care so that you can make a full physical recovery as fast as possible.

Personal Injury
At Newland & Newland, LLP, we know that any type of accident has the power to change your life forever in just a few seconds. If you have suffered a serious injury, you could be facing many months or even years of expensive medical care and pain that may never go away completely. When such injuries are caused by someone else's negligence, Illinois law gives you the ability to seek compensation for your injuries from the negligent party.
Our experienced personal injury lawyers are equipped to handle a full range of personal injury matters, including motor vehicle crashes, premises liability cases, defective or dangerous products, and accidents involving public transportation. We also assist those who have suffered injuries caused by nursing home neglect, elder abuse, violent crimes, and sexual abuse. Our team will conduct a full investigation into the circumstances of your case and work to get you the full compensation that you deserve.
Car Accidents
Every day, thousands of Illinois residents are injured in car accidents caused by carelessness or negligence by others on the road. Our firm is dedicated to helping car accident victims recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, decreased quality of life, and other considerations. If you have been hurt in a car crash, you should not sign anything from the insurance company or agree to any settlements until you speak to a lawyer at Newland & Newland, LLP first. We will ensure that your rights and best interests are protected every step of the way.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks are massive vehicles that can cause catastrophic damage when they are involved in an accident. In most truck accidents, unfortunately, it is the occupants of other vehicles who usually suffer the worst injuries. Trucking companies often have teams of lawyers working on their behalf to help limit their liability following an accident, and you deserve the same level of legal protection. Our attorneys will help you stand up to trucking companies, their insurance companies, and their lawyers so that you can get the compensation you need to put your life back together.
Medical Malpractice
Medical mistakes are among the leading causes of death in the United States. Each year thousands of patients die as a result of errors made by doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, and many thousands more suffer non-fatal injuries. Not all medical errors are caused by negligence or carelessness, as even the most careful medical professionals are not perfect. When negligence does lead to substandard care, however, the negligent doctor or hospital must be held accountable.
At Newland & Newland, LLP, we have the knowledge and experience to handle all types of medical malpractice cases, including missed diagnosis, delayed diagnosis, primary care errors, errors by physician specialists, emergency room mistakes, and pharmacy malpractice. We also assist families affected by birth injuries caused by medical negligence. If you or a member of your family suffered harm due to substandard care in an Illinois doctor's office, hospital, or another medical facility, our attorneys are ready to help you take action.
Workers' Compensation
According to Illinois law, employees who get hurt in the course of performing their jobs are typically eligible for benefits through the state's workers' compensation program. Unfortunately, it not uncommon for workers' compensation claims to be partially or completely denied or unnecessarily delayed, leaving victims to face a variety of challenges on their own. At Newland & Newland, LLP, we provide guidance for injured workers throughout the entire workers' compensation claims process.
If you have been injured at work, our experienced lawyers can help you seek medical care and notify your employer in a timely manner. We will also assist you in dealing with delays or disputes by your employer or the workers' compensation insurance carrier. Our firm will work with you in escalating your claim to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission if necessary, and we are even ready to take your case to trial. We will not be intimidated, and we will not back down. Our lawyers will do everything we can to get you the full benefits provided under the law.
