Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer

Injured in an accident with a commercial truck? H. Stojanovski, PLLC will help you get the compensation you deserve for your Truck Accident case. Commercial trucks weigh orders of magnitude more than the average passenger vehicle, which usually results in more severe injuries in accidents involving the two types of vehicles. Accidents involving commercial vehicles are complicated by the company owning the trucks, which will be a party to any lawsuit and usually has an attorney already representing the company. Semi-truck accidents are even more complex because tractor-trailer operations are regulated by State and Federal safety laws that must be followed by trucking companies and their drivers.

Common areas to investigate for commercial truck accidents include, 

(1) Licensing;

(2) Hiring and Training of the Driver;

(3) Driver’s Hours of Service prior to the accident;

(4) Drug/Alcohol testing;

(5) Medical Fitness Exam (every Driver must pass a yearly physical);

(6) Inspection and Maintenance of Tractor Trailer; and

(7) Driver Qualification File (maintained by the truck company). 

Once your Attorney sends the appropriate notice(s) to the truck company, the truck company has a legal duty to preserve relevant items. Given the above, it is better to hire your Attorney sooner rather than later. My firm has a special advantage when dealing with semi-truck accidents because one of my best friends is a big-rig driver for over 20 years, so I have access to all the borderline tricks trucking companies and drivers use to stay on the road and skirt safety regulations.
