In the United States truck accidents take place every 16 minutes, many times resulting in serious physical injuries and fatalities to the people involved. Due to the large size of trucks and 18 wheelers, victims in passenger cars or other similar sized vehicles are at risk for serious injuries, such as:
- Internal bleeding
- Broken bones
- Head trauma
- Spinal cord injury
- Scars and disfigurement
Our attorneys know what to look for when analyzing trucking accidents. We are familiar with the unique issues that arise, the federal regulations and commercial insurance issues that are involved, and the accident reconstruction problems that are unique to big-rig accidents.
Our experience has taught us that in most trucking accident cases the insurance company for the truck has its investigators and lawyers at the scene of the accident within a matter of days. We have found that it is extremely important for those injured as a result of truck accident to obtain their own lawyer as quickly as possible to that a separate investigation can be conducted. Incredibly, in some instances, trucking companies and insurance companies have discarded evidence which would have been harmful to their case. |
