A collision between an 18-wheeler and a passenger vehicle may result in fatal or catastrophic injuries to occupants of the automobile. Was the truck driver sleep-deprived? Did the trucking company miss scheduled maintenance on the tractor-trailer rig? Did the shipper fail to use the proper load locks or ignore weight limits?

Who is to blame? If you were injured in a truck crash, who will pay for your expenses?

These are hard questions, and the answers can only be found through sophisticated investigative and analytic techniques. Before you sign any insurance settlement forms it is important you have all of the information you need to make a well-informed decision. At our Kingston, Pennsylvania, law firm our lawyers have the skill, the experience, and the resources to identify the source of your loss and help you recover the compensation you need to rebuild your life. Contact our office if you would like to speak with one of our attorneys  about your injury.

Finding Sources of Compensation for Injuries from a Truck Accident

Our personal injury lawyers are prepared to help clients with a wide variety of car accident and truck accident claims and lawsuits. When determining the cause and liability for your accident we will immediately begin an investigation, taking photos of the scene of the wreck, getting statements from witnesses, examining the trucking company's maintenance records, the driver's log, and the black box, checking the trucking company's safety record, and its record of compliance with Pennsylvania and U.S. regulations.

We will also work with accident reconstruction experts to create a picture for the jury of a jackknife, rollover, roadside repair without emergency flares, or other hazard that contributed to the accident.

Determining the Full Impact of Your Injuries

After determining sources of compensation, including your own auto insurance company, our lawyers will work with medical, occupational, and economic experts to determine the extent of your injuries, the potential lifetime cost of medical treatment, the value of any permanent disability, and any damages you deserve for pain, and suffering.

If you have lost the emotional or financial support of a loved one, we will use the same thorough approach to determine the value of your wrongful death claim.
