Truck and Big Rig accident help

     Federal statistics show that large commercial trucks like big rigs and 18-wheelers make up merely three percent of the vehicles on our roads but are involved in nearly 12 percent of traffic fatalities.  Due to the simple fact that these trucks are so large and heavy, accidents in which they are involved are likely to result in very serious injuries and often death (especially to those riding in much smaller passenger cars).  Their sheer size also often gives rise to multi-vehicle highway accidents as once involved in an accident, the size of the trucks makes them hard for other cars on the road to avoid.  On top of this, in an effort to meet their delivery deadlines and remain profitable, unscrupulous truckers and trucking companies may ignore safety regulations making the presence of commercial trucks and big rigs on our roads even more dangerous than necessary.

     Bodily injuries from big rig accidents include everything from whiplash, nerve damage, broken bones, lacerations, internal injuries, all the way to brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and even death.  If you have been involved in a truck or big rig accident you need a talented and experienced big rig attorney to represent your interests.  Big rig accident cases are often more complicated than other types of traffic accidents because they typically involve the liability of both the truck driver and the trucking company employing them.  You will also likely be facing pushback from insurance companies wishing to settle these matters outside of a courtroom for far less than you deserve.  You deserve to have a professional negotiator with experience valuing cases like yours on your side during this trying time.

     Big rig accidents have many causes and may involve, truck driver error, distracted, drunk, or drowsy drivers, trucking company negligence, improper loading or unsecured cargo, defective truck parts and mechanical error.  Rahaman Law will take on the trucking companies’ corporate attorneys and insurance companies resisting payouts with an aggressive representation of your rights.  We will get you the compensation you deserve for existing and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost income and lost earning capacity, property damage to your vehicle and even punitive damages in cases of egregious behavior.  We have years of experience helping accident victims prevail against negligent truck drivers and trucking companies.  Call and speak to one of our attorneys about your matter to have your case evaluated by a skilled professional.
