Proving Fault and Liability
The lawyers at our law firm have an in-depth understanding of the state and federal regulations guiding the trucking industry. We aggressively hold truck companies accountable for violations leading to serious injuries and wrongful death. We work with accident scene reconstructionists to prove fault through evaluating property damage, skid marks, as well as witness statements and police reports. Our law firm's hands-on approach helps us determine the cause of serious truck accidents, such as:
- Poor road conditions — including construction hazards
- Mechanical failure — including defective tires or other equipment
- Driver fatigue — including intoxication or lack of sleep from unsafe work schedule
- Truck company negligence — including failure to properly train drivers or provide them with proper rest breaks
Insurance companies take us seriously, knowing we prepared every case to be successful in trial. We carefully review driver logs, maintenance reports, and black boxes to establish fault.
Seeking Just Compensation for Your Injuries and Losses
We develop strong lawsuits focused on protecting accident victims' future. Our top priority is to help you obtain full and fair compensation to cover your hospital bills, lost wages, property damage, and future rehabilitative needs. We develop compelling legal arguments complete with medical testimony highlighting the extent of your injuries, such as:
- Whiplash
- Neck injury
- Brain and back injuries
- Amputation or paralysis
We focus on the individuals behind the injury claims when negotiating with insurance companies. If the settlement offer is too low, we are prepared for trial.
