We're Here to Get Results for Truck Accident Victims
Preparation is essential to a successful outcome in any truck accident litigation. We are well prepared, organizing the testimony of witnesses, doctors, and accident reconstruction experts. We work hard to uncover the negligence of truck drivers and truck companies. Our truck accident lawyer handles personal injury and wrongful death claims involving:
- Truck driver fatigue
- Drunk drivers
- Tire blowouts
- Semi truck brake failure
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Load shifting
- Log book violations
- Poor vehicle repair or maintenance
Semi-truck drivers normally carry higher limits of insurance because of the increased severity of truck accident injuries. Many car accidents involve fractures and soft tissue injuries, but because of their larger size and weight, accidents involving large commercial trucks often result in catastrophic injuries such as severe head trauma, herniated disks, spinal cord damage, paraplegia, and even decapitation and death for many victims.
If you are injured by a drunk truck driver, you may be entitled to punitive damages in addition to compensation for your pain, suffering, disability and economic losses. Attorney Shapiro works hard to recover all of the damages you need to move forward with your life following a serious truck accident. We can also help you fill out the necessary DMV paperwork regarding your accident.
