Trucking Accidents

Central Illinois Trucking Accident Lawyer

One of the very first things that will happen after a trucking accident is the truck driver's telephone call to the trucking company or their insurance carrier. Almost immediately thereafter, lawyers for these companies will begin efforts at damage control, seeking to limit their liability and to minimize or deny your potential claim altogether.

If you want a lawyer who can protect your interests and a law firm with the resources and ability to prepare and develop these cases properly, contact Shay & Associates today.

A different kind of law firm…dedicated to serving you.

At Shay & Associates, we represent people from throughout the Central Illinois region in personal injury and wrongful death claims resulting from truck wrecks of all types. Our attorneys have helped thousands of people in this area over the last 15 years and they can help you to recover too.

As attorneys, we understand the complex nature of semi truck accidents and the variety of evidence that needs to be sorted out afterwards. We take a team approach and work with medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, professional investigators, and others to examine evidence such as entries made into the drivers' log book, vehicle maintenance records, accident debris, tire marks, the physical condition of the driver at the time of the accident, and more. Whatever is involved, you can rest assured that our firm will spare no effort in exploring every possible avenue of compensation.

However, it is you, the client, who is the most important member of our team. As a client, our firm will work to keep you fully informed and involved in the legal process as your claim progresses. We will answer your questions, address your concerns, and provide you with the clear explanations and information you need to make sound legal decisions.
