Holding Trucking Companies Accountable

Trucking companies are required to carry substantial insurance policies in order to protect against the financial consequences of truck accidents. In many cases, there will be separate insurance policies covering the cab, the trailer, the shipping company and other entities.

John is experienced at going up against the big trucking insurance companies to sort out who is liable for your injuries and pursue the compensation you deserve, taking cases all the way through trial if necessary.

Commercial trucks are also governed by special federal and state safety regulations. If the trucking company was violating these regulations — for example, by hauling too much freight or making drivers work too many hours continuously — this may become a factor in your case. The firm will pursue a full investigation of all aspects of your accident.

Experienced at Dealing With Serious Accident Injuries

Due to the massive size difference between a tractor-trailer truck and the average car or motorcycle, truck accidents often result in very serious injuries and fatalities. This is, in part, why truck drivers and trucking drivers are held to such high training and safety standards.

John is prepared to do what it takes to pursue the compensation you deserve. If necessary, he will hire expert professionals at the firm's upfront expense to evaluate the full extent of your damages and make the case for the outcome you deserve. If you've been injured or lost a loved one in a truck accident, don't hesitate to contact John today.
