Truck accident injuries are nearly always serious — and many are fatal. To ensure that you receive the compensation you need and are entitled to, talk to a lawyer who has made a career of protecting the rights of personal injury victims and the families of wrongful death victims.
- Our truck accident investigation will be thorough. A truck accident investigation requires an expert who specializes in 18-wheeler and other heavy vehicle accidents. We will identify all potentially liable parties. (Were the tractor and trailer owned separately? Were they leased?) We will examine maintenance log books and assess whether all federal highway regulations were followed.
- Did truck driver error cause the accident? Because of the pressures of meeting deadlines, poor training or poor hiring practices, many 18-wheeler accidents can be traced to driver error. Was the driver speeding, tailgating or passing improperly? Did lack of sleep, drug use or alcohol cause the driver to be reckless? Did the driver have a CDL (commercial driver's license)?
- Appropriate medical care is essential to your recovery. You need to seek immediate medical treatment. If you do not have medical insurance or are otherwise unable to afford proper care, talk to our law firm. We may be able to help you get the immediate medical attention you need. Truck accidents often cause serious, life-changing injuries including burns, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries. Do not be talked into signing a settlement until you know how bad your injuries are and what you will need for recovery.
Call or e-mail us today and tell us about your truck accident. You can be assured that we are on your side.
Free initial consultation. No costs unless we recover compensation for you.
