Contact an experienced trucking company defense attorney following a serious car or truck accident.

Recently, we obtained a defense verdict in a serious tractor-trailer accident that was brought by a national-renowned plaintiff’s attorney in his “home” county. The verdict was upheld through the appellate courts.

We have successfully tried trucking cases to verdict and have represented drivers on investigative proceedings such as coroner inquests. We have successfully represented trucking companies in cases alleging regulatory violations, and we are quite familiar with the various insurance-related issues arising from these types of matters.

Our trucking company defense attorneys often apply a creative approach to a case. For example, the firm recently settled a catastrophic trucking case which resulted in a $650,000 subrogation payment back to the client when the plaintiff subsequently brought a crashworthy case against the vehicle manufacturer.

As employment lawyers, we are also familiar with the defense of trucking companies where liability is based upon agency theories.

We handle a broad spectrum of trucking cases, from fatality cases to simple property damage claims. We aggressively represent our clients in the face of allegations of weight violations, log book errors, oversized loads, improper hazardous material transportation, permit violations, brake failure, negligent hiring, vehicle maintenance omissions, and driving training deficiencies.

Some of these cases involve the most serious of injuries. When these matters arise, the firm brings its prodigious trial experience in handling catastrophic injuries when and if these cases go to trial. Our lawyers also have extensive experience defending the more routine automobile cases.
