Personal Injury Law – Truck Accidents
The trucking industry is expanding by the day, so there’s an increased number of large trucks on the roads. When trailers are fully loaded, they can weigh over 80,000 pounds. To make matters worse, these enormous vehicles are often controlled by drivers who are easily distracted or tired from attempting to maintain hectic delivery schedules. Even when a minor collision occurs, the results can be fatal to a smaller car. Studies have shown that approximately one of every eight road fatalities involves a large truck during an accident.
Don’t Let Insurance Companies Win.
If you’ve ever been involved in an accident with a truck, you understand the devastation that results. This trauma is never compensated because many insurance claims against truck companies are never resolved. It’s common for insurance adjusters to manipulate evidence and victims. Large companies have unlimited funds, so lawyers fight vigilantly in the courtroom against the injured. This means you walk away without adequate compensation. To get the money you need and deserve to pay medical bills and treat pain and suffering, you need the assistance of a law firm with experience fighting trucking companies after accidents. Our Law Firm proudly represents the area and protects victims who suffer after a truck or tractor-trailer accident. We have successfully handled numerous cases in this field and work with experts who help determine fair compensation for current and future financial, physical and emotional damage.

Investigation is Key
Our attorneys get to work quickly and investigate your accident. We preserve and document all evidence, including points of impact, skid marks, oil and gas leaks, and the condition of the tractor-trailer. We also obtain vital documents as well. It’s essential to have logbooks admitted into a case. They may prove a driver was overworked without adequate rest or provide evidence of mechanical failure.
Driver fatigue is a huge problem for truckers, which leads to countless accidents. To curb this behavior, authorities from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enacted regulations that limited the hours a trucker could drive without rest. Despite the added measures, fatigue is still the cause of nearly 40 percent of all truck accidents. The FMCSA has also adopted other rules to protect innocent victims on the road. For instance, a trucker must never drive with a blood alcohol content above 0.02 or operate a vehicle under the influence of any drug. A driver must submit to mandated DOT alcohol and drug tests when necessary.
We Want to Tell Your Story
Our truck and tractor-trailer accident lawyers want to tell clients’ stories. These types of accidents cause catastrophic damage that forever changes lives.

We make sure everyone in the courtroom understands how you have been negatively affected by the tragedy of an accident.

You must negotiate directly with a trucking or insurance company without legal counsel. This can lead to disastrous errors.

Having a professional by your side makes everything a bit more bearable. A professional attorney will help you receive the correct medical treatment as well.
