Aviation Web Site

Clifford Law Offices has been representing victims of numerous transportation accidents including serious truck accidents and CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) accidents for years. The attorneys’ experience at the firm combined adds up to hundreds of years of personal injury and wrongful death work. A Clifford Law Offices’ truck accident attorney examines the cause of the crash. It can be an issue of truck maintenance, driver fatigue, driver negligence, speed, alcohol use, failure to inspect, improper loading, tire blowouts, sudden braking, brake failure, unsafe safety systems or warning devices, failure to yield the right of way, tailgating, extensive work shifts, jackknifing or unsafe road conditions. The law firm also will examine truck accident victims’ losses that include medical expenses, lost wages, future earnings, future medical care, pain and suffering, grief, sorrow and mental suffering, loss of quality of life and other possible damage claims. In 2005, the National Law Journal recognized the firm's verdict of $38.3 million as the largest transportation verdict in the country. It involved a tragic truck crash on an Illinois highway. The CTA also is a commonly used method of travel and Clifford Law Offices' CTA accident attorneys are experienced lawyers. One of their CTA accident cases includes obtaining $8 million for a young boy who was struck by a CTA bus who was permanently brain damaged in the CTA accident.

Lawyers at the personal injury firm also represented those involved in a gas explosion at a suburban home. There are different degrees of fault and several elements that are necessary to prove in court to be successful against the wrongdoer in a tort action.

Also, Robert Clifford received a $14.2 million verdict for an 11-year-old Boy Scout who was injured while on an outing in a forest preserve, as reported in the Chicago Sun-Times.
