Truck Accident Lawyers

Truck crashes make up approximately 12 percent of all motor vehicle accidents that occur on U.S. roadways, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. In the worst cases, truck accidents can have fatal outcomes – particularly for those in an involved car, rather than in the truck. However, even if trucking accident victims do survive, they still face an array of devastating consequences, including:

Severe injury
Long recovery periods
Permanent disability
Overwhelming financial burdens (including medical bills, property damage and lost wages)

If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident, it's important that you take care of your medical and legal needs. While emergency medical treatment will be your first concern, once your health is stable, it's then essential to consult with an experienced accident attorney who will perform an analysis of your unique circumstances. Our truck accident lawyers can inform you of your legal rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can occur when a truck driver (or a driver of another vehicle) is:

Fatigued
Disobeying traffic laws, such as by running red lights or failing to use signals
Driving in poor weather and/or road conditions
Driving recklessly, such as by unsafely passing, speeding or cutting off other drivers
Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (DUI), including prescription and illicit drugs
Not properly trained to drive the vehicle they are operating

Additionally, improperly loaded or insecure cargo and tire blowouts or other types of equipment failure can cause serious truck accidents.

Truck Accident Settlements

Whether you were involved in a tractor-trailer, semi truck or minivan accident, it is important to speak with an attorney who knows how to handle truck accidents. Accidents involving trucks are usually more complicated than other motor vehicle accidents, and hiring the right attorney can make all the difference in your case. Our highly skilled truck crash lawyers understand the complexities of these accidents and will fight aggressively to make sure you recover the entire amount of compensation you are entitled to.
