No fee unless we recover for you.
A tractor-trailer crash nearly always results in devastating injuries. The weight of the semi truck and load at highway speeds combine to cause traumatic injuries and in the most tragic cases death.
- Gathering evidence: Following a tractor-trailer accident, gathering evidence is time-sensitive and requires exceptional attention to detail. Our personal injury lawyers move quickly to obtain driver logs before they can be changed and to obtain the information from the black box recording device required on most large trucks.
- Hands-on investigations: Our attorneys climb into the truck for a first-hand view. We make sure we know all we can about the accident. We investigate whether the trucking company complied with all the rules, assess the load to see if it was overweight, improperly balanced or poorly secured, and look for evidence in the cab of drug or alcohol use. We take a hard look at the accident site and the vehicles involved as soon as possible.
- Insurance settlements: In a truck accident case, huge damages and large insurance policies are at stake. The insurance company employs the best lawyers it can find to keep the settlement low. Our personal injury lawyers know how to build a strong case for a fair and just settlement. We want you to have the resources you need for your recovery.
- When to settle: In most cases, settlement before trial provides the most benefit for our client. A trial can substantially lengthen the time before compensation is received and increase the stress you experience. But when the offered settlement is unfair, our law firm is always prepared to fight for our clients in court.
