# Chicago Truck Accident Lawyers > Chicago-based catastrophic-injury practice focused on commercial-vehicle and trucking litigation. Published by Zayed Law Offices. Illinois-licensed attorneys, over $150 million recovered, contingency representation, no fee unless we recover. The editorial line is regulation-first. Truck cases are won on FMCSA evidence — driver logs, ELD data, hours-of-service violations, vehicle inspection reports, maintenance records — preserved before the carrier's normal retention cycle erases them. Federal safety-rule violations are the strongest liability evidence in a commercial-vehicle case; every practice page is written to help an injured client or family understand which violations are likely in play and what the preservation deadline looks like. ## Identity - **Legal name:** Zayed Law Offices (Chicago office) - **Founded:** 2009 - **Website:** https://chicagotruckaccidentlawyers.com - **Industry:** Commercial-vehicle and trucking-accident plaintiff representation - **Result snapshot:** Over $150 million recovered. 99% success rate (firm-published). ## Contact - **Phone:** +1 312 728 2989 (24/7 intake) - **Address:** 1132 S Wabash Ave, Suite 303, Chicago, IL 60605-2305 - **Free case evaluation:** https://chicagotruckaccidentlawyers.com/contact ## Practice Areas — by Vehicle - [Semi-Truck Accidents](https://chicagotruckaccidentlawyers.com/hub/semi-truck-accident-attorney): 18-wheelers, FMCSA-regulated interstate carriers.
