Full-Service Truck Accident Representation
Determining the exact cause of a truck accident and who is ultimately responsible can be difficult. When you call our firm, we will work with experts, such as investigators and accident reconstructionists, to identify the problem. Often, trucking accidents are caused by:
- Fatigued drivers putting in too many hours
- Driver negligence
- Improperly balanced loads
- Improperly secured loads
- Unsafe equipment
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Failure to properly train drivers
We are tenacious in investigating trucking accident cases. Rest assured, we will do everything we can, within reason, to track down the negligent parties. Depending on the evidence, we may pursue action against the driver, the trucking company, a dangerous product manufacturer or a government entity.
Investigation Is Key
Early investigation is particularly important in truck accident cases. Commercial carriers immediately begin investigating in an effort to prove they are not at fault. To help level the playing field, you need an experienced attorney on your side gathering evidence to support your claim.
Our Minneapolis truck accident lawyers know state and federal trucking regulations. They understand how maintenance schedules, weight and loading restrictions, driver training issues, driver schedules and other aspects of operating a commercial truck come into play in these cases.
