Trucking accidents differ in many ways from motor vehicle accidents involving private passenger cars. First, the trucking industry is heavily regulated under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, and every truck accident investigation must involve an inquiry into the compliance of the driver, his or her employer, the owner of the semi tractor trailer or 18-wheeler involved in the accident, and even the shipper of the goods transported. In other words, a semi truck accident might have multiple defendants, depending on the corporate or contractual relationships between the parties involved.
Additionally, given the greater mass involved in a truck accident, the resulting injuries can be extremely serious or catastrophic. Just as in car accident cases, we get medical experts involved as early as possible to work with your treating physicians and rehabilitation specialists to characterize and document your injuries and future treatment challenges in terms an insurer or jury can clearly understand.
At Bamieh & Erickson, we represent plaintiffs in accident cases involving all kinds of commercial vehicles, including:
- Long-haul semi tractor trailer combinations engaged in interstate commerce
- Flatbed trucks, tanker trucks, or auto carriers
- Heavy construction vehicles, such as dump trucks, earthmovers, cement mixers, asphalt trucks, mobile cranes, or gravel haulers
- Commercial passenger vehicles, such as city or intercity buses, charter buses, hospitality vans, or hotel shuttles
- Delivery trucks, landscapers' trucks, wholesalers' trucks, moving vans, or rental trucks
In any of these cases, our commitment to thorough investigation of both the liability and damages components of your claim from the earliest stages of litigation can make a significant difference in your ultimate recovery.
