If you need an Aurora truck accident lawyer, Collins Law Group can help. Aurora is Illinois' second-largest city, and its industrial base and I-88 corridor location mean commercial trucks are a constant presence on local roads. If you were seriously injured by a semi-truck, delivery truck, or other commercial vehicle in Aurora, our attorneys have recovered more than $1.5 billion for injured clients across Illinois.
Aurora's I-88 corridor has become one of the region's busiest logistics and warehouse hubs, and the resulting truck traffic has been documented by local reporting on warehouse growth along I-88 near Aurora and Naperville. Route 59, IL-31 (Lake Street), and US-34 also carry substantial commercial traffic connecting distribution centers to the interstate system. Crashes cluster at busy interchanges and signalized arterials where trucks must merge, turn, or brake suddenly in heavier traffic.

Aurora is unusual in that it spans four counties: Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will. Kane County is home to most of Aurora, with the county courthouse located at 100 S. Third Street in Geneva. Depending on exactly where your crash occurred, your case could be filed in Kane, DuPage, Kendall, or Will County, we handle truck accident litigation in all four.

Serious truck crashes rarely have just one cause. The most common causes we see include:
Illinois recorded 11,294 tractor-trailer crashes statewide in 2024, per the Illinois Department of Transportation's 2024 Crash Facts & Statistics, a reminder that large-truck crashes are a significant and ongoing safety issue, not an isolated risk.
You generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Illinois, 735 ILCS 5/13-202. Illinois also applies modified comparative negligence, 735 ILCS 5/2-1116: you can still recover if you were partly at fault, but you cannot recover if you're found more than 50% responsible. Truck cases add another layer, federal FMCSA safety regulations govern how trucking companies must operate, and violations are often central to proving negligence.
As your Aurora truck accident lawyer, we handle the investigation, evidence, and negotiations so you can focus on recovery. Trucking companies and their insurers move fast to protect themselves. Collins Law Group has the resources to match them, accident reconstructionists, medical experts, and a trial record, and we work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we win.
