Big Rig Accidents • 18 Wheeler Fatal Crashes

Truck accidents are often more complex cases than ordinary automobile accident cases. Identifying fault and recovering damages after a trucking accident frequently involves investigating violations of applicable state and federal trucking regulations, the accident site reconstruction, and the liability analysis involving multiple parties.

Truck accidents that injure truck drivers are far less common than those that injure the driver or passenger(s) of other vehicles. Responsible parties may include the truck driver, the trucking company, the owner of the trailer, the shipper, and any other driver, person or entity who in any way contributed to the accident.

Others who may have liability include the manufacturer of any vehicle involved in the accident, the manufacturer of a tire that contributed to the accident, or the owner of any public or private property whose negligence contributed to the accident may all bear full or partial liability.

Our Goal for Our Clients Injured in Truck Accidents: Maximum Compensation

We explore all the possible ways to recover compensation when we represent someone who was injured or lost a family member in a trucking accident. Our investigations look into police reports, driver logs, vehicle maintenance records, and evaluation of environmental factors such as street and highway conditions.

Our mission is simple: to obtain the maximum financial recovery each truck accident victim (who is a client of our law firm) is entitled to receive. We develop a compelling case and present the facts and circumstances of the accident, as well as the unique damages the victim and his or her family have sustained: medical and / or funeral expenses, lost wages, loss of society, loss of quality of life, and necessary accommodations such as rehabilitation therapy, home remodeling, or wheelchair accessible conversion vans.
