Truck accidents can be particularly severe because trucks are so much bigger and heavier than cars. Unfortunately, the fatality rate for trucking accidents tends to be higher than those involving some other types of vehicles. If a truck driver or trucking company hasn’t acted with the appropriate level of care and their negligence resulted in an injury, you may be able to gain compensation for your injuries.
At the Law Office of Steven M. Melley P.L.L.C., we have worked with clients to seek compensation on their behalf for all sorts of auto accidents. The following are just a few of the auto accident issues we can deal with:
● Driver fatigue ● Aggressive driving behavior ● DUI/DWI ● Unsafe road conditions, such as snow, ice, rain, or fog ● Unlicensed or untrained drivers ● Truck rollovers
● Oversized trucks ● Overloaded trucks ● Tire blowouts ● Brake failure ● Poor truck maintenance ● Mechanical defects ● Tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers
Over the years, we have helped our clients gain compensation by proving defendants’ negligence. During cases, we consult with trauma doctors, forensic engineers, mechanics, chiropractors, and accident reconstruction analysts to create as strong a case as possible.
At the Law Office of Steven M. Melley P.L.L.C., we work quickly to gather evidence for your case, photographing the scene and speaking to witnesses.
