Lawsuits based on accidents and collisions involving trucks, semis, tractor trailers or big rigs involve a complicated group of laws and large amounts of evidence.

We have the experience and knowledge to lead the investigation into the cause of the truck accident and to help you collect the maximum amount of damages allowed under the law.

- Improper/defective equipment
- Railroad crossing collision
- Jackknife accidents
- Rollover accidents

In a truck accident resulting in death, the truck driver and/or the company responsible and at fault for causing the accident can be sued. This includes the truck driver and the trucking company, the owner of the trailer, the shipper, as well as any other driver, person or entity who in anyway contributed to the accident, such as the manufacturer of one of the vehicles involved in the accident, the manufacturer of a tire that contributed to the accident, or the owner of any public or private property whose negligence contributed to the accident. Consulting with an experienced truck accident lawyer can help determine what role the responsible parties played in contributing to the accident.
