If you have been injured in a tractor trailer crash or a collision with any other type of large truck, please contact us. We offer a free consultation to review your case and discuss your rights.

In all truck accident claims, we will carefully analyze your case to determine what happened and who is liable for damages. Was it the driver, the trucking company, the warehouse that loaded the truck, the shop that maintained it? We will consider all possible causes of a truck accident, including:

• Driver fatigue
• Improper maintenance
• DUI/drunk driving
• Drug abuse
• Unlicensed driver
• Improper loading
• Defective tires or brakes
• Speeding
• Reckless driving
• Dangerous roadway

We Know the Law and How it Applies to Your Case

Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of federal and state trucking regulations. Our knowledge of these laws and how to apply them allows us to maximize the amount of financial compensation for clients injured in truck accidents.

For example, we represented a client who was injured by the driver of a delivery truck who suffered an epileptic seizure while behind the wheel. Our lawyers knew that truck drivers must undergo a physical exam in order to drive a commercial truck. We found that the trucking company was negligent in failing to get a physical screening for this driver. Our knowledge of trucking regulations helped us win $1 million in compensation for our client.

On a five lane freeway, trucks are limited to traveling in the two right hand lanes. We settled a case for $1.5 million for a client who was injured by a semi truck that was driving in the third lane of traffic.

Maximizing Compensation

We settled for $1.8 million in compensation for a pedestrian who was run over by the flat bed trailer of a semi tractor trailer that was driving on a residential street in violation of municipal regulations.

In all of these cases, our clients would have received substantially less compensation if we had only claimed negligence on the part of the driver. Our knowledge of the law translates into positive results for our clients.
