TRUCK ACCIDENTS

What constitutes a commercial tractor-trailer?

A commercial tractor-trailer is one that weighs 10,000 pounds or more, can transport more than 10 passengers, or is used to transport hazardous materials. This includes those vehicles that are used to transport commercial goods, delivery trucks, buses, freight trucks, 18 wheelers or tanker trucks.

How can we help?

If you or your loved ones are involved in a collision with a truck, you may be entitled to claim compensation for emotional, financial and physical suffering. Insurance companies often want to complicate the process, ignoring the considerable pain, stress and loss of earnings that affect victims and their families. Seek immediate legal advice before approaching your insurance company, as it is important to get the necessary medical paperwork and witness statements and understand your rights before you are unwittingly coerced into giving them up entirely.
