Truck accidents often involve severe and fatal injuries, even when relatively slow speeds are involved. Truck accident litigation can be exceptionally complex, dealing with multiple defendants and insurance carriers, understanding the regulations that govern commercial vehicles, and assessing potentially high damages.
At Tyack Blackmore Liston & Nigh, we offer experienced and strategic support to help our clients pursue the compensation they deserve after an accident. Our attorneys are experienced in the investigation of truck accidents and can properly identify various causes and pursue damages against all responsible parties. Whether you have been injured or have lost a loved one, our attorneys offer sound counsel and guidance that clients have trusted for over 60 years.
Truck Accident Investigations
Truck accident litigation requires more intensive investigation than other motor vehicle accident litigation. Immediate action may be required to preserve necessary evidence including black boxes, driver logs and witness accounts.
We have experience litigating truck accidents caused by many factors, including:
- Improper loading
- Driver fatigue
- Drunk driving
- Errors in signage
- Inclement weather
- Road conditions
- Improper maintenance
Attorneys from our firm will take a strategic and informed approach to collect all necessary evidence for your case. We will consult with witnesses, work with experts, gather medical documentation and review police reports to ensure that we have built a compelling case for the full compensation you need.
In addition to methods of investigation, truck accidents often involve state and federal regulations. The Federal Motor Carrier (NHTSA) and the Ohio DOT provide industry standards to promote the safety of everyone on the road. Our personal injury attorneys know the law and have the requisite experience in litigation to identify when a company or driver has fallen short of those standards.
