Proving Negligence in Trucking Accident Cases
Personal injury litigation can be complex. Truck accident cases involve several elements that car accident cases may not.
For example, truck drivers are required to keep logs of their work. They’re limited in how many hours they can drive in a day or over the course of a week. Truck drivers are also required to follow a specific maintenance schedule that ensures their vehicles are safe to operate.
Every truck accident needs to be investigated by an experienced, knowledgeable legal team to determine where the fault lies for the accident. At the Nix Means Law firm, we know how to build a case that maximizes the compensation you deserve.
Fatal Truck Accidents
Wrongful death lawsuits are one way to hold negligent truck drivers and the trucking companies who employ them accountable.
While compensation doesn’t bring back what you’ve lost, it can be tremendously helpful by giving you the time you need to grieve, protect yourself, and move forward. An experienced attorney can fight on your behalf so you can concentrate on healing.
