Understanding Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often result in severe injuries and significant property damage due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks. These accidents can be caused by various factors, including driver fatigue, speeding, mechanical failures, and improper loading. Our attorneys specialize in handling cases involving:

• Driver Negligence: Determining if the truck driver was at fault due to reckless driving, distracted driving, or violation of traffic laws.
• Company Liability: Holding trucking companies accountable for inadequate maintenance, improper training, or unrealistic scheduling that leads to accidents.
• Product Defects: Pursuing claims against manufacturers for faulty truck parts or equipment contributing to the accident.

Steps to Take After a Truck Accident

Seek Medical Attention

Your health and safety are the top priority. Even if you feel fine after the accident, some injuries may not be immediately apparent. It's crucial to seek medical attention promptly to document any injuries and begin treatment.

Contact Law Enforcement

Report the accident to local law enforcement and ensure an official police report is filed. This report will serve as crucial evidence when filing your insurance claim or pursuing legal action.

Gather Evidence

Collect as much evidence as possible at the accident scene. Take photos of vehicle damage, skid marks, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Obtain contact information from witnesses who saw the accident unfold.

Consult with a Truck Crash Attorney

Navigating the legal aftermath of a truck accident can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with insurance companies and legal complexities. Our attorneys offer a free initial consultation to review your case, discuss your rights, and provide guidance on the next steps.
