Truck Accident Lawyer
So, you were just involved in a truck accident....
When cars and trucks collide there is potential for a huge amount of damage. This is why you need an experienced Truck accident Lawyer to help you.
On average, a truck weighs many times more than an average family car and tends to travel at about the same speed.
The first thing that needs to be realized is that the laws and regulations regarding truck accidents are completely different from a car on car accident.
In a car accident there are few parties involved, namely the other driver and their insurance company. Not so with truck accidents.
The truck driver maybe an employee of a trucking company, maybe self-employed, maybe a contractor engaged by the trucking company. One or all of them may have to share liability for any accident.
Other factors also play a part in a truck accident such as:
- Driver fatigue
- Improper or incorrect maintenance
- Equipment failure
- Unrealistic schedules
- Violation of safety laws
- Driving under the influence of drink or drugs
After a truck accident the trucking company will have its representatives and lawyers on the ground to investigate and to attempt to minimize any legal liability that may fall on them.
Accidents involving trucks are way more complicated than car accidents.
It is important that you speak with a truck accident lawyer straight away as the lawyer will understand the specific laws and regulations concerning truck accidents.
At the scene of the accident

Take care of any injured. Call an ambulance if required or unsure.
Call the police.
Document the scene by taking pictures from as many angles as possible.
Exchange information with the other party.
When possible, document the events that led up to the accident.
Then engage with a Truck Accident Lawyer.
