Because of the size and weight of large trucks—especially those carrying heavy cargo—accidents involving these vehicles can be extremely harmful. When such an accident is caused by the mistakes of someone else, such as a truck driver or a trucking company, the victim is entitled to seek compensation to cover his or her losses. Our firm works with victims who have suffered from all types of truck accident injuries, such as head wounds, amputations, spinal cord injuries and many other injuries. We can also help the families of deceased truck accident victims file wrongful death claims and lawsuits.

Investigating Truck Accident Cases

When we represent clients, we make sure to carry out comprehensive truck accident investigations. We analyze information such as whether the appropriate truck inspections were carried out on the vehicle, whether hours-of-service regulations were followed, whether an inexperienced driver was operating the truck at the time of the accident and many other factors. In some cases, the truck driver or the trucking company might have violated trucking regulations, therefore endangering the lives of other drivers on the roadway. It is our job to search for the true cause of the truck accident and then to prove that cause so our clients can hold the liable party accountable. Whether your accident was caused by a truck driver's carelessness or employer negligence, we are able to provide you with the tough legal advocacy you need. Our team handles many different types of truck accidents, including truck rollovers, freeway accidents, underride accidents and various other types.

Importance of Securing Strong Legal Counsel

The importance of having a strong attorney by your side after a traffic accident cannot be emphasized enough. Without the appropriate level of legal representation, you can easily be taken advantage of by commercial insurance companies that are looking out for their own interests. Insurance companies have goals of paying out as little as they can get away with so they can increase their own profits. A good lawyer will be able to recognize the underhanded tactics of these insurance companies and fight for the maximum level of payment on your behalf. While an insurance company representing a trucking company might decide to conduct its own investigation (which often occurs with serious truck accidents), you can have access to a legal team that is doing its own digging into the facts.

Don't let yourself become vulnerable in a matter that has such a major impact on your life. We have helped injury victims obtain more than $12 million in compensation, and we are ready to help you seek compensation in your case as well.
