Peoria Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney

Put 30+ Years of Experience in Your Corner

Commercial vehicles differ in several ways from private vehicles. For one thing, they are often on the roads nearly continuously. Drivers move them around as part of their day-to-day jobs. They are often heavier than private passenger cars. They sometimes carry heavy cargo. They may be oddly shaped compared to other traffic. They may stop frequently. 

Finally, they may present complex insurance coverage to deal with in case of an accident. The Peoria commercial vehicle accident attorney at Joel E.
