Every Second Counts in Truck Accident Cases

Truck and tractor-trailer accidents are unique in that there is a tremendous amount of information that needs to be quickly preserved following a collision. Semi trucks, for instance, are often equipped with “black boxes” and other computers that record information about collisions. This information can be overwritten if not timely extracted. Our truck accident team is experienced at taking the steps necessary to ensure that these computer logs—as well as other vital pieces of information—are preserved and properly presented to the defendant, insurance company, or jury.

Maximizing Client Recovery

Truck Accident LawyerIn every trucking accident case we handle, our team vigorously examines all of the circumstances that may have contributed to an accident—including many beyond the obvious. We often delve into phone records, computer records, toxicology reports, trucking company manuals, and more. We also target our inquiry on the trucking company to make sure they followed proper procedures with respect to hiring and truck driver supervision. The thoroughness of an investigation often leads to the discovery of facts that can greatly elevate the strength and value of your case. Once the evidence is gathered, we use cutting-edge technology to present it in trial or to opposing parties.

Expert Team Fighting for You

Insurance companies often have teams of experts they use to help make their case. With our truck accident lawyers, so do you. We work with industry-leading accident reconstructionists and trucking industry experts to help prove exactly how an accident happened. With our no fee promise, you can rest assured that you will never have to pay a dime out of pocket for any of these services.

Healthcare Liens: The Hidden Danger

Healthcare providers and health insurance companies now often file liens to be paid back out of any recovery a victim receives in a truck, semi-truck, or tractor-trailer accident case. These liens can significantly diminish or exhaust a truck accident victim’s net recovery. Our team is experienced in dealing with all types of liens. In every truck accident case we handle, we implement a custom and comprehensive strategy aimed at reducing liens and/or having them waived. We believe that any money recovered should go to you—not insurers or corporations.

No Fee Promise

We never get paid unless and until we first recover money for you. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. Many truck accident law firms bury in fine print that clients are responsible for costs if a case is not successful. We don’t. With our no fee promise, you’ll never pay us any out-of-pocket fees or costs—no exceptions. It’s the promise from every truck accident attorney on our team to you, and we put it in writing.
