Celebrating Our First Pitch: Postman Law at the MN Twins Opening
In 2003, armed only with ambition and a U-Haul, I and a few fellow Michigan grads rolled into the Twin Cities to start our law school journey at the U. Our first memorable stop? The iconic H.H.H. Metrodome.
Comparative Fault Explained
When you’re injured in an accident—whether it’s a car crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago or a slip-and-fall incident at a neighborhood grocery store—one of the first questions that comes up is: “Who’s at fault?” In Illinois, answering this question often involves comparative fault (also called comparative negligence).

FAQs
The timeline for an 18-wheeler accident settlement can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case. Claims with clear liability and minor injuries may settle in a few months, while more serious accidents involving extensive injuries, multiple parties, or disputes over fault can take a year or longer. In general, cases involving large vehicles and commercial policies take longer to resolve. But that is usually because there is more at stake than your standard car accident.
Responsibility for a truck accident can involve multiple parties including the driver, the trucking company, vehicle maintenance providers, cargo loaders, or even tire and truck part manufacturers. Determining liability depends on identifying which party’s negligence led to the crash.
If the at-fault driver doesn’t have enough insurance coverage, you may be able to make a claim through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. For some claims, third parties (like the trucking company) may also be liable.
Trucking companies require specialized commercial trucking insurance, which differs from personal auto policies. It’s specifically designed to cover high-risks factors of large vehicles and cargo transport including high liability exposure, potential cargo loss, and compliance with federal and state regulations.
Many 18-wheeler accident claims are settled directly with the trucking company or its insurer. Postman Law’s 18-wheeler accident attorneys in Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, and Cincinnati, and serving clients nationwide, will protect your rights and work to secure the compensation you deserve.
Crashes involving big rigs present unique challenges compared to standard car accidents. The larger size and heavier weight of trucks, higher insurance coverage, and federal regulations all affect liability. Multiple parties may be responsible and these accidents often result in more severe injuries.
