There are accidents, and then there are truck accidents.
Collisions involving tractor-trailers, delivery vans and other large commercial vehicles wreak catastrophic destruction on the lives of thousands of people each year. The sheer size of such vehicles makes such damage almost inevitable. A heavily loaded semi can easily outweigh a passenger vehicle by 10 or 15 times.
What is avoidable are the accidents themselves. In light of the serious consequences truck accidents can yield, truck drivers and their employers are obliged to observe many state and federal safety laws. These laws exist to protect the drivers, other motorists and anyone who may come into contact with a commercial vehicle.
Trucking Accident Attorney Serving Baltimore and All of Maryland
At the Law Offices of Roger S. Weinberg, L.L.C., in Towson, Maryland, we have nearly 30 years of experience pursuing legal action against negligent truck drivers and their employers.
Our founding attorney, Roger S. Weinberg, has practiced personal injury law in Maryland since 1983. He has seen the devastation 18-wheeler accidents and other commercial vehicle accidents can cause, and he has fought hard to achieve compensation from these negligent parties, their insurers and, in some cases, the insurers of our clients.
Our law firm can investigate the specific causes that led to your injuries, including:
- Equipment malfunctions due to inadequate maintenance
- Failure by drivers and employers to follow requirements for rest periods and time off of the road
- Driver fatigue
- Drug or alcohol use by a driver
- Weight overloads
- Poorly secured loads
With the assistance of accident reconstructionists and other experts, we can establish how your accident happened and the parties that are liable for your injuries. We can then work from a position of strength to represent your interests in negotiations or before a jury.
Always, we seek to secure needed compensation for our clients' damages, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future income capacity, ongoing rehabilitation expenses, property damage and other losses.
We have particular experience assisting clients who have sustained traumatic head injuries or whose loved ones have died wrongfully as a result of their truck accident injuries.
