Motorcycle Accidents and Truck Accidents and Personal Injury Claims
Trucks, including semi trucks, 18 wheelers and tractor trailers, have a significant size and weight advantage as compared to cars. Accidents involving trucks are generally far more serious than other kinds of accidents.
These trucks require specialized licensing to operate and the truckers must not only follow state law; there are also numerous federal regulations that govern the industry as well. Even a slight misjudgment on the part of a truck driver can have significant impact on other drivers. Misjudgments, poor truck maintenance, unbalanced truck loads, driver fatigue — all of these things can lead to serious accidents causing serious injury and accident fatalities.

Investigate Quickly and Thoroughly
In accidents involving a car and a truck, it is especially important to investigate quickly, before any evidence is destroyed, lost or misplaced. Some questions that we consider include:
- Was the truck driver violating the length of time that he or she is supposed to be on the road?
- Was the truck properly maintained?
- Was the truck carrying too much weight?
- Was the load improperly balanced?
- Was the trucker using illegal prescription drugs to stay awake?
- Was the driver properly licensed?
Motorcycle Accident Representation
Motorcycle accident injuries tend to be serious, with the motorcyclist often incurring significant injuries, including road rash, spine and neck injuries, broken bones and even closed head injuries. These kinds of injuries take months of rehabilitation and sometimes leave a formerly perfectly healthy man or woman with a permanent disability.
Our personal injury attorneys have the resources and the knowledge to prove liability in motorcycle accident cases. We also have experience in overcoming prejudice against motorcyclists and obtaining compensation that can help them deal with their injuries and bring stability back into their lives.
