Coeur d’Alene Commercial Trucking Lawyer

Experienced Commercial Trucking Accident Attorneys

Commercial trucking accidents are often devastating for everyone involved. Sometimes these accidents result in serious injuries or even death.

When truck drivers drive with large loads that are unbalanced or even flammable, it poses a risk to everyone else on the road. If a truck’s load gets spilled on the roadway, it can create a very dangerous situation. This is especially true if the spill occurs in the early morning or late afternoon when drivers are tired from working long hours and aren’t able to respond as quickly as they otherwise could.

We work with each of our clients to create an effective strategy for settling their case and getting them the compensation they deserve.

Commercial Trucking Accidents and Handling Insurance Details

We want your insurance company to see you as more than a number on a claims case, and our attorneys dedicate the resources and time needed to prove fault in a commercial trucking accident. We look at the evidence and gather information to demonstrate client’s’ needs for damages associated with such accidents.

In any commercial trucking accident, the driver or the trucking company may be legally responsible, and sometimes both entities share responsibility.

We evaluate police reports, driver logs, witness statements, maintenance reports and other applicable documents to determine fault in a commercial trucking accident.

• Negligence on the part of the truck driver – Sometimes drivers are exhausted or distracted while they’re driving or they violate traffic laws, including hours-of-service restrictions and legal alcohol limits
• Negligence of the part of the truck company – Truck companies sometimes have responsibility for not training drivers properly or hiring drivers with problems on their records. Sometimes, they also put undue pressure on drivers to speed or violate hours-of-service restrictions for expediency’s sake

When it’s appropriate, our attorneys work with accident scene reconstruction specialists to evaluate everything about what happened at the accident scene and determine what happened.
