Truck Accident Lawyer – Protecting Your Rights After a Collision

Published by Mark Brynteson

Personal injury cases involving truck accidents are significantly more complex than those involving cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, or bicycles. Due to the massive size and weight of semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, and commercial vehicles, collisions often result in severe and life-altering injuries.

Serious Injuries from Truck Accidents

Victims of trucking accidents frequently suffer from catastrophic injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Severe burns and disfigurement
  • Amputations and loss of limbs

The long-term impact of these injuries can be devastating, requiring extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. As an experienced truck accident attorney, Mark D. Brynteson works closely with medical professionals to assess your injuries, calculate current and future medical expenses, and ensure you receive the maximum compensation for your truck accident claim.

Who Is Liable in a Truck Accident?

Unlike standard car accident cases, commercial truck accidents often involve multiple liable parties, including:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • Vehicle maintenance providers
  • Manufacturers of defective truck parts
  • Cargo loading companies

Attorney Mark D. Brynteson has in-depth knowledge of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and state trucking laws that govern the industry. He will conduct a thorough investigation into your accident, reviewing truck maintenance records, driver logbooks, and black box data to determine if safety violations—such as exceeding legal driving hours—contributed to the crash.

How a Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help You

Truck accident cases require immediate action to preserve crucial evidence and build a strong claim. As a dedicated semi-truck accident lawyer, Mark D. Brynteson will:

  • Send an investigator to the accident scene to gather evidence
  • Analyze accident reports, witness statements, and surveillance footage
  • Negotiate with the insurance company to maximize your settlement
  • Take your case to trial if necessary to fight for full compensation

Mark understands the urgency of obtaining financial recovery for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. His commitment to his clients and aggressive legal representation set him apart as a leading trucking accident lawyer in Illinois.

Client Testimonials

I have known Mr. Brynteson for many years. I first met him in a social setting at a men's prayer group, then later had the privilege to use him professionally on several occasions. Mr. Brynteson has set up two non-profit corporations that I am a part of in record time. His competence, speed of action and knowledge in the area was astounding! I believe that Mr. Brynteson has the integrity that he would not take on any case in which he feels he could not do an exceptional job for his client. I certainly could recommend this gentlemen and am privileged to publicly give him a 5 star rating.

— Dr. Jacob Caraotta

When I finally called Mark Brynteson after being mired in a nasty situation for several months, Mark immediately took charge and directed every reponse on my part. He explained the problems clearly from a legal standpoint and also provided options when they were available. One day when I was quite sick and flat on my back, Mark called to follow up on a problem. When he finished, he said, "Today I'm not on the clock". Under the circumstances, that consideration was highly appreciated.

— Len Salvig
