We Investigate to Determine Liability

It is a rarity that a truck accident occurs for no reason. Oftentimes, the driver, trucking company and manufacturer are found to be responsible. Working with accident reconstructionists and other skilled professionals, we investigate the cause of your truck accident, often questioning:

• Did the driver receive adequate initial and on-going safety training?
• Was the driver fatigued, driven by deadline pressures from the trucking company?
• Was regular maintenance performed on the truck and accurately documented?
• Are there any known defective auto parts still in operation on the vehicle?
• Was the cargo properly loaded?

Once the cause of the truck accident is determined, we work to hold all negligent parties responsible for their carelessness and the resulting harms and losses.
