Truck & Car Accidents

Truck and car accidents can have serious consequences that drastically change their life: physically, financially, and emotionally.

Rubino Ruman helps people in need. Through our years of serving, we have discovered some common consequences of accidents:

• Serious and sometimes permanent injuries or even death
• Emergency room treatment
• Doctor visits
• Extensive testing
• Prescription medications
• Surgery
• Physical therapy
• Substantial medical bills
• Funeral bills
• Burial expenses
• Lost wages
• Lost employment opportunities
• The inability to live life like before the accident

While consequences cannot be undone, our team will work diligently to make sure that the insurance company for the person or company responsible for causing the consequences is held fully accountable.

Truck Accidents

While truck accidents have a lot in common with car accidents, they often present a unique set of circumstances that require the assistance of Rubino Ruman. Trucks are 80,000 pounds of steel traveling down the road at 55 miles per hour. If an accident happens, a 2,500 pound car does not stand a chance, much less the people inside.

The trucking companies, and their insurance carriers, know that if they cause an accident, the physical, financial, and emotional consequences caused by the accident will be substantial. The trucking companies, and their insurance carriers, take immediate steps to protect their interests. Often a trucking company will immediately hire attorneys, and insurance investigators to protect only the interests of the trucking and insurance company. It is critical that prompt steps are taken to protect and preserve the evidence that will prove the truth of what happened.

For this reason alone, it is important to retain an attorney to take steps to protect your interests. At Rubino Ruman, our team consists of attorneys and investigators with vast experience in preserving such evidence. We also routinely employ accident reconstruction experts to assist in such investigations.

Trucking accidents create unique situations in trying to identify the true identity of the trucking company. Often, the tractor may be owned by one business entity, the trailer may be owned by another business entity, and both subcontracted to another independent business entity. Rubino Ruman has experience in identifying the parties involved in the accident to make sure justice is done.

Trucking accidents are also unique because trucking companies and their drivers have certain rules they have to abide by. Trucking companies and their drivers are often required to keep logs to verify that they are not using fatigued drivers. Trucking companies are required to have their drivers tested for drugs and/or alcohol. As you can imagine, trucking companies are not quick to hand over logs or test results that would harm their interests unless an attorney forces them to disclose the information. Our team at Rubino Ruman can help preserve this critical evidence and make sure it is properly analyzed.

Presenting a claim to a trucking company and its insurance carrier can be as daunting as the accident itself. The Rubino Ruman team will relieve that stress and allow you to focus on the full time task that the trucking company gave you: working to get better and back to the way you were before the accident. Our team will work to make sure justice is done.

Often, insurance companies and truck companies refuse to be fair. If such is the case, a jury trial is necessary. Our team is comprised of attorneys that routinely perform personal injury jury trials in Indiana and Illinois. The best case is an honest case. We will work diligently to present a thorough and honest case to the jury.

At Rubino Ruman we have decades of jury trial experience, a legal team and the resources to put forth an honest case so that they jury can hold the guilty party responsible. Corporations and insurance companies, no matter how big, should not be allowed to deceive the jury into making an unfair verdict.
