Truck Accidents
Personal injury cases involving truck accidents are more complex to pursue than traffic accidents involving cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, or bicycles. The injuries caused by a truck accident tend to be very serious, just by virtue of the size of a truck and the force of impact that can result when there is any kind of collision involving a semi-truck, tractor-trailer, an 18-wheeler truck, or another large truck.
Scarring and disfiguring burns, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and severed limbs are just some of the kinds of injuries that can occur in a truck crash. The recovery time for these injuries—if they are not permanent—can be difficult to assess, which is why we have a physician on our staff. He will assess your injuries and figure out how much your current treatment and future recovery care will cost before we file your truck accident claim.
The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. represents injury victims involved in truck collisions who wish to file a claim against any negligent parties. We are here to fight for your rights to proper medical care, quality legal representation, and compensation. Not only are we familiar with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and state commercial vehicle regulations that govern truck drivers and truck companies, but we know what to look for when determining liability or negligence. There also might be more than one party responsible for your accident.
Our personal injury lawyers understand the mechanics and determining forces that can cause your injuries during a truck accident. We have the tools, knowledge, and resources to pursue the maximum recovery for your claim. Often, we can immediately get an investigator to the accident scene to assess any damages or other evidence. We may also review the truck's maintenance records and examine the driver's logbook to determine whether he or she violated any safety regulations, such as driving longer than the legally allowed number of hours per shift. We will deal with the liable party's insurance company.
We know that you need your recovery money as soon as possible so that you can pay your bills. This is why we will take immediate action to resolve your case.
