How Can a Tractor Trailer Accident Attorney Help Me?
An attorney can help establish liability for your crash, collect evidence to strengthen your claim and help ensure compensation is sought from the appropriate parties.
Almost immediately after a truck accident the trucking company and/or their insurance company will begin investigating the crash and the scene. Their purpose is to limit the amount of damages awarded to the victims of these accidents.
State police may also launch their own investigation into the accident at this time, which may prove beneficial for your claim. At the Pisanchyn Law Firm, our truck accident attorneys will work with specialized experts to assist in complimenting the official investigation. Our attorneys can:
- Review camera footage, if available
- Interview witnesses
- Review mandatory police and accident reports
- Analyze and review medical records
- Interview medical staff
- Consult experts to reconstruct the accident scene and recreate the accident
Liability for injuries sustained in a truck accident could be placed on the following:
- Truck driver
- Truck driver’s employer
- Owner of the truck
- Company leasing the truck
- Owner of the leasing company
- Owner of the trailer, if attached
- Company leasing the trailer
- Manufacturer of the truck, trailer, or components
Our attorneys have experience handling complex tractor trailer accident cases and will investigate various aspects of the crash to determine liability. To ensure you get the full compensation deserved for your injuries, we may investigate:
