Common Questions

How Much is My Truck Accident Claim Worth? Many factors are taken into consideration when establishing the worth of a truck accident claim. Our law office can help you maximize your recovery. From lost wages and medical expenses to reduced quality of life and pain suffered – we will work tirelessly to ensure you’re awarded the amount you deserve.
Can the Employer be Held Responsible? An employer may be held responsible for a truck accident if the incident can be traced back to him or her. Fault may be traced back to an employer if he or she falsified records, encouraged the driver to continue driving even when sleep deprived, hired an unqualified driver or employed a hazardous driver.
How Much Will it Cost to Hire an Attorney? The cost of legal services will depend up on the nature of your case and degree of the injuries you’ve suffered. However, many clients are eligible to receive legal services on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not pay any legal fees until we’ve successfully secured a fair verdict and settlement.
What Damages am I Entitled to Recover? If you have been injured in a truck accident as a result of the negligent actions of another, you may be entitled to recover compensation for a variety of damages. From medical bills and lost wages to mental anguish, loss of companionship, disfigurement and more - we can ensure your recovery is fair.
What Will Happen if I Was Partially at Fault? Only a qualified professional can determine fault. Even if you are found to be partially at fault, the party who was primarily at-fault will still owe you compensation. The compensation may be slightly diminished, but not nullified completely if the majority of the fault can still be traced to that party.
