Marshall Truck Accident Lawyers
Rely on Trial-Tested Legal Guidance & Representation
To guarantee public safety, trucking companies and their employees are required to follow strict federal laws and regulations. When an accident occurs, these companies can face severe legal penalties for their acts of negligence, particularly if innocent drivers are injured or killed. Unfortunately, not even clear legal restrictions or the looming threat of punishment can prevent a trucking company from taking dangerous shortcuts. Not only do trucking companies mismanage the maintenance of their fleets, they also encourage their employees to drive recklessly just to meet impractical deadlines.
Truck accidents often occur because truckers engage in the following negligent behaviors:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Driving while fatigued
- Driving while under the influence

Pursuing Personal Injury Damages
After a truck accident, many plaintiffs find it difficult to negotiate with insurance companies and pursue compensation. In fact, many plaintiffs don’t even realize that multiple parties can be held legally responsible for a single accident. This is one of many reasons as to why it’s so important to retain the services of a skilled lawyer who has a comprehensive understanding of this legal process.
The following entities can be held liable in a personal injury lawsuit:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The truck manufacturer
- The maintenance crew
- The leasing company
At Kempton & Russell, our legal team can thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident and help you properly identify the negligent parties. We understand that truck accident victims often sustain debilitating injuries that necessitate ongoing medical treatments and rehabilitative services. Seeking restitution may be the only way that you can afford your injury-related debts without filing for bankruptcy.
You may be able to recover the following economic and non-economic damages:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
Our Marshall truck accident lawyers have a thorough understanding of insurance company tactics and are willing to negotiate and litigate on your behalf if it means securing compensation that accounts for your injury-related financial losses.
Protecting Your Right to Compensation
The defendant’s insurance company is one of the biggest roadblocks you may face in your path to compensation. An insurance provider is just like any other company; its sole priority is to make money. Naturally, adjusters are willing to go to great lengths just to ensure that you’re unable to maximize your claim.
Once an accident is reported, the defendant’s insurance company is already investigating the incident and developing strategies to undermine your right to damages. For example, an adjuster may contact you before you have a chance to hire legal representation and trick you into making a detrimental recorded statement. If this tactic fails, you may be offered a low settlement amount that ultimately saves the company money. In most cases, this settlement doesn’t provide for a plaintiff’s medical expenses and other injury-related financial needs. By accepting the settlement offer, you effectively waive your right to pursue necessary damages in the future.
The Marshall truck accident attorneys at Kempton & Russell can protect your claim by representing your legal objectives and skillfully negotiating with the defendant’s insurance company on your behalf. We can ensure that you receive a settlement or verdict that safeguards your quality of life.
