Truck Accident Lawyer In New York

Truck Accident Facts

Truck accidents cause some of the most extensive damage and injuries than any other roadway accident due to their large size and weight.  When injured in an accident involving a truck, it is imperative you obtain a qualified New York personal injury attorney to represent you.  Truck accidents require completely different skills and knowledge than a common automobile accident.  There are numerous factors that can affect the outcome and size of your claim that only a talented and competent attorney from Segal & Lax can effectively represent you for.

Because trucks are federally regulated by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, our investigation will be focused on violation of any of the many regulations they are required to maintain. From properly keeping their driving log to maintenance records, violation of any of these regulations can assist your case.  In addition, determining liability issues in such an accident can be highly complex due to ownership issues with the tractor, trailer, cargo and shipper.  There can be several liable parties if, for example, the tractor was not properly maintained and in addition the cargo was not loaded properly and both led to the cause of the accident.  All of these parties may need to contribute to a settlement.

Due to the large policy requirements for trucks, any claim you present must be thoroughly documented to support the settlement figure being sought.  Trucking companies have the most experienced claims adjusters and attorneys representing them in the industry.  Due to the catastrophic injuries that can occur in truck accidents, it is important to have a proficient attorney to represent you.
