While all types of vehicular accidents can be devastating, trucking accidents tend to be especially catastrophic, often resulting in serious injury or death to victims. When someone dies due to the negligence of someone else, it is known as a Wrongful Death claim/case (claim if handled to completion through the trucking company’s insurance policy, or “case” if a lawsuit is filed).
We have the knowledge and experience to appropriately represent those seriously injured in trucking accidents. Though we are located in the East Valley, we have handled trucking accident claims/cases all over the state of Arizona. For victims in the East Valley, our offices in Mesa, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Chandler, Apache Junction, and Scottsdale are local and convenient for our East Valley neighbors.
If you have or someone you know has been involved in a semi truck accident in Arizona, there are timelines within which to act. It is important to have evidence preserved early on in the case or it will be forever lost. We know the language to use to ensure the trucking company does not destroy necessary evidence. Beware: per the FMCSA, motor carriers are allowed to destroy certain documents after a certain time frame.
Trucker drivers are only allowed to drive a limited amount of hours. Our trucking experts know how to determine if a driver is over-hours (and therefore, likely too tired to drive).
Truck drivers who ran red lights, were speeding, or were negligent in any other manner while driving.
Truck drivers who were driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Most trucking companies train their drivers not to make U-turns due to safety issues, yet some violate their own company policy.
Poorly maintained trucks that contributed to brake failure or other system failures.
Foreign truck drivers who were unfamiliar with driving laws in the United States.
We (and our experts) understand of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations which govern truck drivers (including big rigs, 18-wheelers, and semi-tractor trailers). Our semi truck accident lawyers and team of experts ensure that trucking companies (and their insurance companies) are held accountable. We make sure you are compensated for physical injuries, lost wages, medical bills, damage to your property, and, in wrongful death cases, the loss of your loved one.
Together, we will hold truck drivers and insurance companies accountable and help you receive the compensation you deserve!
