Semi (18-Wheeler), Delivery Truck Wreck & Accidents
The large, obtrusive nature of a truck and the high speeds at which they travel can lead to serious dangers for other passengers on the road. Even at low speeds, victims of tractor-trailer crash accidents and truck wrecks can suffer very serious, even fatal injuries when involved in a trucking accident. At The Discount Law Firm, we offer discounted legal services to ensure that our clients recover the compensation they deserve after an accident.
Causes of Trucking Accidents
Truck accidents can happen for any number of reasons - or for no particular reason at all. When a person is injured in a truck accident, the first question everyone will want answered is: "Why did this happen?" We will interview witnesses, contact experts, review drivers' logs and preserve black box evidence in connection with your case. We have the resources to hire expert accident investigators skilled in accident reconstruction, engineering and transportation. These expert resources ensure we can fully investigate the cause of the truck accident and hold the proper people or companies accountable for the injuries they have caused.
Truck accident cases are often the result of:
- Improper loading
- Speeding/reckless driving
- Fatigued drivers
- Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Mechanical defects/failed maintenance
- Inclement weather
- Road conditions
Your Recourse and Rights to Compensation
When we investigate truck-car collisions, we typically find that the causes of truck accidents fall into a few categories: driver error or negligence, trucking company negligence, or problems with the truck itself. Depending upon the evidence, we may be able to bring a claim against the insurance carrier of the truck driver, the trucking company, or possibly a product liability claim against a manufacturer if a faulty part contributed to the injuries.
At The Discount Law Firm, we have successfully recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for clients who have been hit head-on by trucks, resulting in brain damage and other behavioral issues as well as permanent loss of normal life, pain and suffering, and inability to return to work.
