When an accident occurs with an 18-wheeler truck and a passenger vehicle, the results can often include devastating personal injury and even death. If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of an accident or collision with a truck, you need an experienced attorney to help you know what your rights are, and how to get fair compensation for the damages inflicted on you. Call the trusted team at the Law Office of Earl Robertson III for your free, confidential consultation at (909) 633-4181.

A commercial truck accident can seem even more complicated and challenging than a passenger vehicle accident. The involvement of a corporation, business insurance policies, and the often more extensive damages can be overwhelming – especially when medical bills begin to pile up. Make no mistake, the corporation which owns the truck and the insurance company have no interest in helping you. They only want to limit their losses. You need a skilled attorney to stand up for you and make sure that you get adequate compensation.

Some of the expenses and circumstances for which you might receive compensation are:

  • hospital bills.

  • rehabilitation expenses.

  • loss of income.

  • disability.

  • wrongful death.

  • pain and suffering.

  • punitive damages.

What is different about an accident with a semi-truck?

An accident with a truck is different from a typical passenger car collision; mainly due to the increased likelihood of injury or wrongful death. There’s also usually a corporation involved, which may have hired a poor driver, or failed to maintain the truck. The insurance coverage issues are more complex, and there are federal regulations to consider. The Law Office of Earl Robertson III will help you navigate these issues and get fair compensation for loss or injury.

Determining the cause of an accident is crucial in making sure the responsible party can be held accountable.

There are many different causes of truck accidents. These include:

  • Fatigued drivers.

  • Falling asleep.

  • Improper maintenance of the truck or trailer.

  • Road hazards.

  • Driver inexperience.

  • Drug use, or other impairment.

  • Overloaded trucks.

  • Aggressive driving.

  • Failure to yield.

  • Failure to obey truck specific traffic laws.

Only experts are qualified to determine the real cause of your accident. Don’t trust the corporation or the insurance company to determine fault. Remember, their interests are the opposite of yours.

When you experience a truck accident it can be a terribly stressful situation. There is absolutely no need to add the overwhelming pressure of dealing with corporations and insurance companies to the burden of coping with an injury or death. Let us help you shoulder that burden.

The Law Office of Earl Robertson III is dedicated to getting you the compensation you deserve.
