Vehicle Accidents
Shipping and logistics is one of the most significant industries in our country, utilizing massive tractor-trailers to haul the goods and supplies we all rely on. Because of the sheer size and weight of those vehicles, they can cause significant damages, including death, when they are involved in a collision.
Trucking companies and drivers are required to comply with strict state and federal regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. When these standards aren’t met, it’s only a matter of time until an accident occurs.
If you or a loved one has been injured by semi-truck, it’s important that you speak to a truck accident lawyer as soon as you’re able to. Generally, trucking companies have accident response departments and large legal teams focused on defending against your injury claims. You need experienced representation to ensured you receive what you are owed. You need an attorney who understands just how different these cases are from an automobile collision.
