A truck accident attorney specializes in representing individuals injured in accidents involving large commercial trucks. They possess in-depth knowledge of federal and state trucking regulations, including hours of service, maintenance requirements, and cargo securement. These attorneys investigate the accident, gather evidence (like police reports, truck logs, and driver records), and determine liability, often involving negligent drivers, trucking companies, or even manufacturers. Their goal is to help victims recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering caused by the accident. They can negotiate with insurance companies and, if necessary, litigate the case in court to ensure their clients receive fair compensation.
