Truck Accidents and Wrongful Death
Many modern necessities life would not be readily available to us if it were not for the ability of commercial trucks and vans to carry them across the country. But despite the usefulness of these vehicles, drivers of smaller cars often become anxious when in close proximity to them on the roadway. Collisions involving 18-wheelers are more likely to result in fatalities and serious injuries because of the difference in size and weight between the vehicles.
Regrettably, it is frequently the case that negligence on the part of the trucking company, a truck driver, or the manufacturer of the vehicle and its parts is the cause of an accident that claims the life of another motorist or pedestrian. If you are coping with the loss of a loved one in a truck accident, then we can help you to seek the financial compensation that you may be due.

- Driving while intoxicated
- Negligent hiring
- Lack of training
- Insufficient maintenance
- Hours of service violations
It is not always the case that there are sufficient grounds to merit the pursuit of a civil action for your loved one’s wrongful death, but you should not make a decision for or against a lawsuit without consulting with a skilled and experienced attorney.
