According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the majority of truck-related accidents occur on straight, level, dry, paved roadways during typical work week days. How do these tragic and life-changing accidents occur on such a frequent basis? Our trucking accident attorneys have the experience and legal knowledge it takes to investigate the cause of truck accidents and obtain compensation for injured people and the families of wrongful death victims.
- Was the truck being driven in an unsafe manner? Poor driver training, trucker fatigue, unreasonable schedules, distractions from texting or GPS, drugs and alcohol can all contribute to a truck accident. We will examine driver logs as well as the "black boxes" present on many trucks.
- Was the truck properly maintained? Our law firm will obtain the maintenance logs to determine when and how often maintenance was performed on the truck. Were maintenance problems dealt with quickly and appropriately?
- Was the cargo properly stored in the truck? An improperly loaded truck can become unbalanced and either cause an accident or make the accident worse.
- In a complicated trucking accident, our experts will investigate and reconstruct the accident to determine what happened and why.
- Who owns the truck? Were the tractor and trailer owned by different companies? Establishing ownership also established liability.
- We will work for a fair settlement. First and foremost, the lawyers at our firm are problem-solvers. Prompt, accurate assessment of legal questions, insurance issues, and damage claims is a hallmark of our practice. This provides clients with the foundation necessary to determine whether claims should be settled, mediated, arbitrated or tried.
- When a trial is necessary, our approach to each case is aggressive and comprehensive. All cases are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law using expert witnesses and state-of-the-art resources to explain what happened to the jury.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, you deserve to have a lawyer who will listen to your situation, stand up for your rights, and work closely with you to find an appropriate solution. Contact Van Wey & Johnson for a free consultation.
