A collision with a truck can incur devastating, life-changing injuries.

A lawyer with experience in cases involving truck accidents can help you get back on your feet by filing a personal injury claim on your behalf, arguing for your right to full compensation.

We have the resources and legal knowledge to take action against large trucking companies and insurance companies, advocating for you from beginning to end of your claim.

The Causes Behind Truck Accidents

Figuring out the causes behind a truck crash can be highly complex, as there are often multiple contributing factors to these collisions. Common reasons for truck accidents include:

• Driver Error: A truck driver's negligence can easily lead to a grisly accident. In particular, drunk or fatigued truck drivers are a major hazard to other motorists.
• Negligent Business Practices: A trucking company may encourage drivers to falsify their hours to make longer trips, increasing the risk of fatigued driving. Moreover, if the company does not screen new hires, an unqualified driver could end up causing an accident.
• Faulty Construction: Sometimes, trucks are shipped out with faulty parts. A malfunctioning brake or steering wheel can contribute to a crash.
• Improper Maintenance: If a truck goes a long time without regular maintenance, the risk of a major breakdown increases.
• Unsafe Cargo Loading: When the weight of cargo puts too much stress on a truck, the driver could lose control of the trailer, resulting in a spilled or shifting load.

Our attorneys will investigate the collision to understand the factors that contributed to the accident. We can document proof such as logbook entries, black box data, and police reports to cite in your claim.

Liability in Truck Accidents

Filing a personal injury claim for a truck accident can get complicated. Commercial trucking companies are often represented by lawyers who will aggressively deny any liability for accidents. Furthermore, you may have to file a claim against multiple parties to get a full remedy for your damages, and these parties may include the truck driver, the trucking company, and other entities.

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we are ready to provide you with quality legal representation to make sure all of the liable parties are named at fault in your claim. If a settlement cannot be reached outside of court, our experienced trial lawyers are prepared to present your claim to a judge and/or jury to fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Wrongful Death in Truck Wrecks

If you have lost a family member to a fatal truck accident, you can file a wrongful death claim against the truck driver and other liable parties. While the value of a human life cannot be counted in dollars, we can help you get some semblance of justice and closure for your loss.

In a wrongful death case, we will take steps to establish fault for the accident and argue for full compensation on your behalf. You could be paid out for your grief, the loss of the income your loved one would have earned, funeral expenses, and other damages.
