CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRUCK
ACCIDENT LAWYERS FOR YOUR CASE!
You should choose the right lawyer for your case, which is a lawyer that has the experience, confidence and financial resources to obtain the justice you and your family deserve. And, you want a lawyer that is compassionate and understanding and will keep you apprised of the progress of your case.
Wites Law Firm specializes in truck accidents, and we will work for and with you and your family to fight for justice to compensate you and your family.
First, truck companies have their own adjusters, investigators, experts and lawyers who will conduct a complete analysis of the accident. Their goal is to reduce the company’s liability at all costs and, if possible, deny your claim and not pay you any money. If you are involved in a truck accident, you should have an equal or better team on your side, to represent your interests, to recover money for the damages you have suffered, such as pain and suffering, past and future medical expenses, and past and future lost wages.
Second, trucks are subject to special laws which are designed to protect the public and minimize the risk of accidents. However, one of the leading causes of truck accidents is the failure to follow these rules and procedures (such as driving too many hours, or not following the rules of the road), and the failure to properly maintain these vehicles. When the drivers don’t follow the rules, or the truck company fails to maintain the truck, this negligence may result in a crash that is not your fault.
If you were injured in a crash caused by a truck of any kind, we can help you and your family. We will investigate your claim, and fight the driver, truck company, and their insurance company, to get you the compensation you deserve.
Our consultation is FREE.
If we accept your case, we will prosecute your case on a pure contingency-fee basis, which means that you will not be obligated to pay us any attorney’s fees or reimburse us for the costs incurred in your case unless we obtain money for you.
Asking the right questions, and getting the answers, is important. Key questions in many truck crash cases include the following:
1 What happened in the crash? | 2 If the truck was stopped, was it using cones, flashers, signs or anything else to warn motorists and others of potential danger? | 3 How long had the driver of the truck been driving without sleep? | 4 What was the truck driver doing? Swerving, speeding, sleeping, texting, distracted? | 5 Is there a proper incident report filled out by the truck driver after the accident? |
6 Who owns the truck? Who owns the trailer? Is it the driver or a company, and do they own both the truck and trailer? | 7 Was the load on the truck properly secured? | 8 What does the truck driver’s record look like regarding previous accidents, citations and DUIs? | 9 What were the conditions at the time of the crash? Day or evening, dry or wet roads, heavy traffic, a busy or quiet road, etc. ? | 10 Was the driver late for a pick-up or delivery? |
