Truck Accidents
Accidents between cars and commercial semi-trucks involve special issues that are not present in typical auto accident litigation. If you were injured in an accident with an 18-wheeler, it is important that you work with an experienced truck accident attorney.
Our lawyers are familiar with the federal regulations regarding commercial trucking, which often affect negotiations and litigation of truck accident injury claims. Truck drivers are limited in the number of hours per day they can operate their rigs. They must keep detailed logs of their hours, and they are subject to strict drug and alcohol use rules. Evidence of a violation of any of these policies is important to discover and secure as soon as possible. It is important to obtain driver logs, maintenance records, training and safety records, and records of violations as soon as possible.
In addition to unique legal issues, truck accident cases frequently involve serious and catastrophic injuries. Because of our significant practice in catastrophic injury litigation, we are prepared to represent clients suffering from serious injuries in commercial truck crashes.
