The minutes and hours immediately following a trucking accident are critical. HeplerBroom’s 24-hour Emergency Response Team responds quickly to investigate the scene, preserve and collect evidence, secure witness statements, and coordinate with investigators and accident reconstruction experts when needed. Early response can be vital to protecting critical evidence and preparing an effective defense.

From the day of an accident through trial, our trucking and transportation attorneys represent motor carriers, transportation companies, drivers, and their insurers in complex, high-stakes litigation. We defend catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims, broker suits, cargo and property damage disputes, subrogation matters, commercial litigation, and other transportation-related claims.

Our attorneys also counsel transportation clients on the regulatory and business issues affecting their operations. We regularly assist with matters involving Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, Department of Transportation audits and compliance reviews, labor and employment issues, and compliance with laws such as the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).

With offices throughout Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana, HeplerBroom is strategically positioned to respond quickly when incidents occur and to provide experienced counsel familiar with the courts, practices, and legal environments across the region.
