Truck Accidents

Heavy Truck Accidents:

Some of the most serious injuries we see in our office are caused by reckless and careless truck drivers. Most tractor-trailer drivers are professional and operate their trucks in a safe manner. The small minority who do not use due care driving semi tractor-trailers cause more than their share of catastrophic injuries and deaths on our roads.

You and your family should seek our help when confronting the large trucking companies and their insurance companies. You can be assured that the large trucking companies and their insurers begin working on their defense of your claim as soon as the accident happens. Most trucking companies require that their drivers carry cameras to photograph the accident scene and the cars and trucks involved. It is often the case that the victims in the cars are taken away by ambulance before they can give their side of the story to the police.  More often than not, the truck driver is left alone with the police and only the truck driver’s version is in the official crash report.

Remember: truck drivers found at fault often face harsh penalties by their employers up to and including being fired for only one at-fault accident, so the truck driver’s motives to spin the facts in his favor are very high. Let us help you and your family make sure the truth is told and that you get the compensation you are owed. Call us today about your heavy truck accident.
