Commercial vehicle and truck accidents cannot be handled the same as car accidents. State, federal, and local laws regulate trucking companies and truck drivers and hold them to a higher standard of care than other drivers. When drivers do not meet that standard of care, we work to help ensure they are held liable for any resulting injuries.

Brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even death are not uncommon in a tractor trailer crash. Due to the severity of injuries and the fragility of evidence, it is important to quickly contact an attorney experienced at handling truck accident injuries. Once we are hired, we immediately begin investigating the accident. We subpoena driver's logs, driving records, and maintenance records. In addition, we seek GPS information and the data from the truck's black box, which records engine speed, brake applications, throttle position, and vehicle speed at the time of the accident.

Our attorneys have a comprehensive understanding of the state and federal laws that regulate the trucking industry. We have successfully settled and litigated numerous truck accident cases. While we understand that no amount of compensation can make up for a life changing injury or a death, we strive to ensure our clients have the resources necessary to move forward with their lives.
