Why Truck Accidents Are Different
Unlike car accidents, truck accidents can be incredibly complex for many reasons. The trucking industry is a highly regulated industry that includes strict regulations for driver training, mandatory breaks, weight limits, and more. A violation of any of these rules can result in liability for the driver, the company, or another third party. It often takes extensive resources and investigations in order to build a strong claim.
Truck accidents can be caused by the following:
- Reckless operation such as speeding or improper braking
- Driver fatigue
- Lack of truck maintenance
- Violating truck regulations
- Overloading the truck
At Kempton & Russell, we regularly work with industry experts who can perform on-site investigations of the accident scene and gather the necessary evidence to prove a claim. These experts can reconstruct the accident using visual animation and data from the vehicle's black box. Our attorneys then analyze the evidence, review police reports and witness statements, and help you build a thorough and effective claim.
Verdicts & Settlements
Our Sedalia injury attorneys are prepared to fight for your right to compensation and accountability, regardless of the difficulty of your situation or the power of the opposing party. We have experience standing up to major insurers, corporate giants, and other well-funded adversaries—delivering successful outcomes for our clients again and again.
