Chicago, IL (PRWEB) 02 August 2011
Chicago personal injury attorney Patrick A. Salvi complained today the State the last move in the speed limit for tractors up to 65 mph on many State routes increase.
Governor Pat Quinn signed several bills regulating truck in the State at the end of July. A bill of material increased the speed limit of 55 mph 65 mph highways split to four-lane, that are not motorways. Speed limits increased previous legislation up to 65 mph on highways outside of Cook and several other upstate counties.
"It's an old saying, but it is certainly true: speed kills," said Salvi, Managing Director of equity capital by Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard, P.C., a Illinois personal injury law firm with headquarters in Lake and cook counties.
"This is a short-sighted move." "Far outweigh perceived benefits of the truck driver, which in the past always to their destinations are the costs of injuries and deaths that are certain higher-speed."
Salvi quotes a study 2009 Insurance Institute for highway safety, the estimated 12,545 deaths to an increase in the speed limits in the United States between 1995 and 2005 were attributed to. Former IIHS studies found that deaths on rural highways 25 and 30 percent increased, as States increasingly speed limits of 55 to 65 mph in 1987 began.
Congress set out effectively one national speed limit of 55 mph during the mid rate of withholding funds from States that exceeded it. The request was loosened for rural highways, 1987 and 1995 fully offset.
"In addition to statistics, there are many anecdotal evidence that the catastrophic injuries and wrongful death excessive speed, caused by the trucker", said Salvi, whose Firma truck has represented victims in legal claims in Illinois, Chicago, Cook County and Lake County.
A person in the event of a collision or an other wreck with, whether they a different driver or a pedestrian may the right to compensation for their losses from the truck driver or the company which employed the truckers, said a semi truck Salvi. A person due to his injuries, dies may be his survivors the right to pursue one wrongful death claim.

"For the still working victims of truck accidents since the lawyers by Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard been get up to 30 years, and we will, who ensure that the laws and protection of the State of Illinois for the victims in these cases properly be applied."
