Do You Need A Truck Accident Lawyer?
If you have been seriously injured in a truck accident, the last thing you will likely want to do is handle legal issues on your own. You will also want to consult with a truck accident attorney for your truck accident case. An experienced attorney may be able to help you prove that the truck driver was at fault. The final liability for the accident is often with the trucking company, not the driver. Their regulations, driving policies, and heavy-handed employment tactics frequently lead to dangerous driving conditions.
This means a powerful insurance company will be representing what is sure to be a massive nationwide trucking outfit. You need an influential firm that knows how to deal with the insurance companies and does not back down to intimidation tactics.
Since truck laws are unique, proving fault in a truck accident case can be even more difficult. Our team of truck accident attorneys knows what to look for. Since truck drivers are handling massive machinery, their employers must be held to a higher standard. We can hold a trucking company responsible for:
- Poor hiring practices: Trucking companies often hire employees with poor driving records or little relevant work history. Unqualified truck drivers should not be on the road.
- Poor maintenance practices: Proper procedures need to be followed to maintain large trucks. Owners and operators need to ensure everything from brakes to fuel filters are in good condition before releasing drivers on the road.
- Poor record-keeping practices: Incident reports, mileage reports, and thorough documentation must be maintained by trucking companies. Insufficient or incomplete records can demonstrate that a company is inefficient, disorganized, and unsafe.
- Too much time on the job for employees: As with any position, truck drivers who are expected to work long hours can suffer from fatigue. Unfortunately for truck drivers, exhaustion on the job can have terrible consequences for other drivers on the road.
Navigating the legal process can be perplexing and stressful. Let the truck accident attorneys at Ashley Law handle the paperwork and phone calls with demanding insurance companies. You can focus on your physical health after the accident.
The severity of a truck accident is not something to be taken lightly. If you’ve been injured, your life could be forever changed. You should never settle for less than what you’re entitled to. Contact our experienced and aggressive team of truck accident attorneys for your free case evaluation. We will fight relentlessly on your behalf to help you secure the best outcome for your situation.

- Mechanical Malfunction/Defects: Truck accidents can be caused by manufacturer defects and mechanical malfunctions. We are dedicated to pursuing product liability issues to bring about the justice your case deserves.

- Truck Driver Error or Negligence: Truck drivers should take extra precautions while on the road. Errors or negligence on the part of a truck driver must be examined carefully and thoroughly. At Ashley Injury Lawyers, our truck accident attorneys are experienced in investigating whether a driver was acting negligently in the moments leading up to an accident.
- No-Zone Accidents: Large trucks have “no-zones” or blind spots, making it difficult for drivers to observe certain parts of the road. Suppose truck drivers do not drive cautiously or do not carefully watch the road conditions. In that case, accidents are more likely to happen. We will work diligently to determine the cause of an accident and ensure that drivers are held responsible for not meeting the safety regulations required by their job.
- Wrongful Death: If someone you cherished has died due to trucking, accident we are prepared to hold the negligent party accountable and recover compensation for your family’s medical expenses, financial losses, pain and suffering, and more.
