Prepared to Deal With Disabling Injuries and Legal Complexities
Some of the distinct characteristics of trucking accidents, in comparison to those involving cars and passenger vehicles, can be the:
- Extreme gravity of injuries from the crash, which may include disabling and complex head, brain and spinal injuries, and the increased likelihood of fatalities
- Substantial costs of investigating the accident and conclusively proving a truck driver or a company’s negligence and/or violations of the Federal Motor Vehicle Code
- Aggressive liability defenses mounted by commercial trucking companies that may be self-insured or have their own corporate risk management divisions — increasing the likelihood that your case may go all the way to trial, and may even have to be decided in Federal Court
At Schauermann, Thayer & Jacobs, PS, we have the experience to deal effectively with these circumstances. We are trial lawyers experienced in federal and state court who will not be intimidated by large insurance companies or corporations.
