What happens when a delivery truck runs a red light in Logan Square and slams into a cyclist?

What if you’re crossing the street in Hyde Park and a speeding box truck fails to stop in time?

In a city as fast-moving as Chicago, delivery trucks are everywhere—rushing down Western Avenue, making sharp turns in Wicker Park, double parking near Michigan Avenue, weaving through South Side residential streets.

When drivers get careless, pedestrians and cyclists pay the price.

At Witherite Law Group, we represent people who’ve been hit, hurt, and left with serious injuries after delivery truck crashes. We don’t wait for the company to play nice. We step in, take control, and make them take responsibility.

Understanding Your Legal Options

If you’ve been hit by a delivery truck while walking or biking in River North, Pilsen, or Rogers Park, you may be dealing with:

  • Ambulance rides and emergency surgery
  • Ongoing rehab or physical therapy
  • Missed work or job loss
  • Brain injuries or spinal trauma

These cases aren’t simple. Delivery drivers might work for a contractor, subcontractor, or a third-party service like Amazon Flex, UPS, FedEx, or Instacart. Proving who’s at fault takes experience—and we know how to connect the dots.

The Power of the “Digging for Dirt” Program

Our “Digging for Dirt” program is built to uncover what these companies try to hide. We go after:

  • Driver history: training, complaints, crashes
  • Delivery schedules that push drivers beyond safety limits
  • Texting, GPS usage, and distraction logs
  • Truck maintenance and brake records
  • Evidence from onboard computers or black box data

We’ve seen the cover-ups. We’ve seen the denials. But we don’t let excuses stand in the way of justice.

Whether your wreck happened on Lake Shore Drive, near the UIC campus, or outside a grocery store in Lincoln Park, we’ll investigate, document, and expose every failure that led to your injury.

The Importance of Legal Representation

Chicago streets are tight, crowded, and filled with traffic patterns that confuse out-of-town drivers. That’s a dangerous combination when companies are focused on delivery times, not safety. At Witherite Law Group, we:

  • Secure surveillance video from nearby businesses
  • Interview witnesses from the scene, many of whom may live or work nearby
  • Handle aggressive insurance tactics
  • Make sure your injuries are fully documented by professionals

We don’t fold. We don’t settle for less. We bring a team that knows how to win truck accident cases.

Seeking Compensation for Your Injuries

From a crosswalk injury in Bronzeville to a bike wreck near The 606 trail, we fight for clients throughout Chicago to recover:

  • Medical expenses and ongoing care
  • Lost wages and future income
  • Pain, trauma, and emotional harm
  • Punitive damages when companies knowingly cut corners

You’re not asking for anything extra. You’re asking for what’s fair.
