Truck Accidents
Indianapolis, Indiana, Truck Accident Lawyer
Truck accident cases can become highly complicated. Whose insurance covers personal injuries—the insurance of the injured party, the truck driver, the truck's owner, the company that contracted the delivery, or a combination of all four? Which company owns the semi truck and what state and jurisdiction is it located in? And what possible negligence factors on the part of the driver and trucking company caused the accident?
At the Personal Injury Law Office of Steven Crell in Indianapolis, Indiana, we have handled hundreds of truck accident and personal injury cases since 1988, including numerous cases involving truck accidents. We can conduct investigations of black box chips, drivers' logs and truck maintenance records to discover violations of FCC and DOT trucking regulations. For instance:
- Did improper care of brakes, tires, trailer hitches, pumps or other vehicle components cause the accident?
- Was the driver trained properly, did the driver have enough rest and had he or she used illegal drugs or alcohol?
- Did the trucking company or driver fail to adequately secure the truck load?
- Was the driver driving recklessly or negligently?
Our recent successes regarding tractor trailer, semi truck, 18-wheeler, large pick-up and big rig accidents include:
- Our client's lumbar spine was injured in a truck/car rear-end accident. We settled the case for the insurance policy limits of $250 thousand.
- Our client's car was crushed when a large garbage truck turned left without warning, resulting in severe orthopedic injuries. We settled the case in pre-trial mediation for $700 thousand. By opting for mediation, we obtained the full assessed value of the case and saved our client significant costs that would have been incurred in litigation.
