Bloomington Truck Accident Lawyers
Large, commercial trucks are common all around the Bloomington area and McLean County. And so, it’s no surprise that truck collisions with passenger vehicles, SUVs, motorcycles, bikes, and more can happen at any time. But, if another party’s negligence was the true cause of the accident, victims may be entitled to earn financial compensation for their injuries and other damages. To find out if you have a valid claim, contact the Bloomington truck accident lawyers at Lerner and Rowe.
So, if you were injured during a collision with a large truck on the 125 mile drive to Chicago, or perhaps on the 155 mile trek to St. Louis, call our Bloomington personal injury attorneys at 708-222-2222, fill out this FREE online form, or use LiveChat. The latter will allow you to connect immediately, but any of these options will set you up with a completely free case evaluation and consultation.
Why Hire Bloomington Truck Accident Lawyers After a Wreck
After a Bloomington truck accident, it’s likely that you are going up against a big company. After all, many semis are owned by nationwide companies with deep pockets. And so, they may have the best possible insurance companies looking into the case, as well as their own professional team of experienced attorneys.
You don’t want to attempt to go up against this kind of legal strength on your own. You probably have little to no legal experience, and on top of that, you’re also recovering from extensive truck accident injuries. Truck accident injuries are often far more severe than injuries sustained during smaller vehicle accidents. To put it simply, you just don’t need to add a complicated legal battle to your already full plate.
And so, rely on knowledgeable and experienced attorneys instead. We will:
- Investigate your truck accident claim
- Calculate how much financial compensation you’re truly owed
- Negotiate with insurance companies
All of this will be done while you focus on recovery, which we consider our most valuable non-legal service. Call Lerner and Rowe today to see if you have a valid claim for potential financial compensation, and get the process started.
Types of Bloomington Semi-Truck Accident Claims We Handle
Here at Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys, we handle cases like these common Bloomington semi accidents every day:
- Underride accidents

Each one of these accidents can have totally complex causation. Causation is the legal term for what made an accident occur. Some truck accidents are caused by the trucker, and if they do not own their own rig, causation will lie with their employer due to the vicarious doctrine. Other truck accidents are caused by:
- Manufacturers who created, designed, and installed faulty parts,
- Mechanics who did not follow through on their services, and
- Government entities who failed to fix roads, ramps, or broken signage.
Finally, some accidents are caused by a combination of factors that mean your personal injury case now includes more than one party to sue. Hand all of this off to a capable attorney and heighten your chances of seeing a maximized amount of your rightful compensation.

You don’t need to pay for all of your care if another party was the true cause of your accident.

So, don’t put off receiving this money- or risk missing your deadline to file.
