Trucking Accidents

If you or a loved one were involved in a trucking accident, it is crucial to understand your rights and seek legal assistance. Truck accidents can cause severe injuries, extensive property damage, and emotional trauma, leaving victims overwhelmed and unsure of their next steps. At Cárdenas Law Firm, we specialize in personal injury cases, including trucking accidents. We are here to guide you through the legal process.

Understanding Trucking Accidents:
Trucking accidents are distinct from regular car accidents due to the size and weight of the commercial trucks involved. These accidents can occur for various reasons, including driver fatigue, speeding, improper maintenance, or faulty vehicle parts. In the event of an injury caused by an 18-wheeler truck, there may be multiple insurance policies available to compensate for your damages. Our experienced lawyers possess extensive knowledge of the intricacies of trucking accident cases and can aid you in determining liability and insurance coverage.

Seeking Immediate Medical Assistance:
After a trucking accident, your health should be your top priority. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Some injuries may not be apparent immediately but can worsen over time. Additionally, obtaining prompt medical treatment will help document your injuries for your personal injury claim.

Gathering Evidence:
Preserving evidence is crucial in building a strong personal injury case. Gather as much evidence as possible at the accident scene. Take photographs of the vehicles involved, any visible injuries, road conditions, and skid marks. Collect contact information from witnesses and obtain the truck driver’s details. Our legal team can assist you in obtaining additional evidence, such as black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records.

Reporting The Accident:
Report the trucking accident to the appropriate authorities, such as the police and your insurance company. This step will help establish an official incident record and ensure your insurance claim is processed smoothly. Our attorneys can guide you through the reporting process and handle communications with insurance companies on your behalf.
