We understand complex liability issues

Commercial vehicle accidents can happen for all of the same reasons as crashes involving private motorists. However, there are a few factors that can make commercial vehicles particularly dangerous:

• Inexperienced drivers: Large trucks and vans are more difficult to maneuver than passenger cars. Depending on the type of vehicle, the driver may or may not be required to possess a commercial driver's license (CDL), but it is always the employer's responsibility to make sure each driver is trained to operate his or her vehicle safely.
• Distracted driving: Operators of commercial vehicles spend long hours on the road and often have multiple responsibilities behind the wheel. They may cause an accident while adjusting the radio, talking to a dispatcher or even eating or drinking behind the wheel.
• Improper maintenance: Every vehicle needs to be maintained, and the stakes are even higher for commercial vehicles. But too many companies cut corners when it comes to maintenance, leading to dangers such as unreliable brakes or faulty tires.

Proving negligence on the part of a commercial driver or company can be difficult. These businesses and their insurance companies will put their best attorneys, investigators and adjusters on the case. We can do the same. Our attorneys can thoroughly investigate your crash, search for evidence that proves your claim and fight for every dollar you deserve in negotiations and at trial.

Fuel Truck Accidents

There are few things more potentially dangerous than a fuel truck. These vehicles are not only as difficult to maneuver as other commercial trucks, but also filled with explosive cargo. If you've been injured in a fuel truck crash, you might have a claim against the owner of the fuel itself in addition to the owner of the truck. Our attorneys know how to navigate complex cases.
