Truck accidents
The Chicago metropolitan area is a major transportation hub. On any given day, thousands of tractor trailers are on area highways, each one with a delivery deadline to meet.
Truck drivers are held to a higher standard when it comes to safe driving and operation. After all, trucks are incredibly large and heavy vehicles, sometimes carrying hazardous materials. Still, some trucking companies fail to properly train drivers to operate trucks in a manner that is safe for everyone on the road.
The attorneys of Pullano & Karnezis have an unparalleled history of success in winning verdicts for truck accidents. John Karnezis won a $38.3 million verdict for a family whose car was hit by a semi-truck on Interstate 90 near Rockford, Illinois. The verdict was the largest in the country for a case involving a motor vehicle crash; the National Law Journal called it one of the 100 Top Verdicts of 2004. Mr. Karnezis also won a $3 million settlement for a 64-year-old man who sustained permanent brain injuries when his car was hit by a truck in suburban Countryside.
Richard Pullano won a $662,000 verdict for a 91-year-old woman who was injured when her car was hit by a commercial delivery truck. He also won $500,000 for a truck driver who was hit by another truck that was backing out of a soft drink bottling plant facility in South Bend, Indiana.
