These cases are not just automobile accidents
that happen to involve larger vehicles. Instead, these cases
are highly complex and, unlike a typical automobile accident
case, involve a web of state and federal laws and regulations.
It is important that you do everything you can to document
all of the facts surrounding the accident as soon as possible.
Your observations, photos, witness statements, doctor's diagnosis,
measurements and more are all essential in pursuing these claims.
Any delay can result in evidence being forever lost or destroyed
and mistakes can have serious consequences on the final outcome
of your case. Call us today, toll free, at 1-877-300-3773,
and we will begin to assist you in collecting the evidence you
need to prove your case and protect your rights.
A high percentage of traffic crashes and deaths involve large
trucks. A large truck is any truck whose vehicle weight is over
10,000 pounds. Because of their size, crashes involving large
trucks are more likely to result in serious injury and death
than are car crashes. Approximately 10% of all those injured
in a large truck crash will die. Large trucks are more likely
to be involved in multiple-vehicle crashes than are passenger
cars. Both Federal and state regulations govern trucking and
cover areas such as safety of equipment and hours of the drivers.
Trucking companies are required to keep records of such information
and it will be necessary to find and research such records. Poor
equipment and driver fatigue can be causes of such crashes, and
a careful study of the trucking company records may be needed
to determine if negligence has occurred.
What You Need To Know:
Insurance companies' obligations are to their stockholders and
policy holders, not to the people injured by their insured's
negligence. Insurance companies' desire to maximize their own
profits provides them with every motivation to try to deny your
claim or pay you the very minimum amount that they can get away
with. The insurance companies also have enormous advantages:
they have immense wealth, armies of experienced adjusters and
lawyers and years of experience reducing and denying claims.

our only obligation is to you, our client. We will use our experience
and every resource available to protect your interests, and we
