Trucking accidents are different from traditional car accidents in that you're talking about a tractor-trailer vehicle that weighs 80,000 pounds when fully loaded. When you get a vehicle like that traveling at highway speeds—50, 60, 70 miles an hour or more—and something goes wrong, it usually goes really wrong. We're talking about injuries that include broken bones, paralysis, burn injuries, and very serious injuries that result from these 80,000-pound vehicles.

When Tom is working against you in a trucking accident case, you need to preserve evidence immediately after the crash. The insurance companies are extremely efficient. They have emergency response teams that come out within minutes, pulling all data recordings from the tractor-trailer and taking all driver logs. This is why you need an attorney conducting the investigation right from the beginning, preserving evidence. The trucking companies aren’t just going to roll over and say, “Hey, it’s our fault, we’re sorry.” They’re going to fight tooth and nail. They will put millions of dollars into defending their trucking company and their driver. You need a team that’s willing to do the same for you.

When we’re faced with a trucking accident case, we have a whole team of people that immediately go into motion. We have a great accident reconstruction team that comes in to inspect all the tractor-trailers and vehicles involved. From there, we have the ability to hire medical experts to examine and evaluate the injuries our clients are going through. So really, it's just a team of professionals that we hand-select based on the specifics of your trucking accident case to get you the best result.
