Trucking Accidents

Eighteen-wheeler trucks are being used more commonly for transport than ever before. While they are very efficient because they can carry so much at one time, they can also be dangerous – slow to stop, top-heavy enough to roll fairly easily, and not terribly maneuverable. And due to their size and weight, when they are involved in accidents with other vehicles, they can cause catastrophic injuries or death to the people in the other vehicle. If you have been the victim of a trucking accident or if you have lost a loved on in a trucking accident, we can help you.

At Metier Law Firm, LLC, we have experience with trucking accidents and the havoc they can cause in people’s lives. Crushed bones and other orthopedic injuries, head and traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries leading to paralysis, loss of limbs, or death are all possibilities when you are the victim of a truck accident. Very often, nobody knows for sure what happened – the victims may not be able to remember or to tell us and witnesses usually say that it all happened too fast to be sure of the sequence of events. We have experienced investigators that we can hire to reconstruct what happened from the skid marks and damage to the vehicles. We can also find forensic experts to tell us about the sequence of injuries and any long-term prognosis. And our retained medical experts can help explain to us or to you about any medical aspects of the case that are unclear.

We have helped many truck accident victims receive the compensation for their injuries that they deserve – from damages for pain and suffering to lost wages and economic opportunities to unpaid medical expenses and burial expenses. We can help you get the compensation you need as well. Contact us to set up a consultation. Tell us your story – what has happened and how your life has been affected – and let us show you what we can do to help you.
