Truck Accidents

Holtsville New York Truck Accident Attorneys

Trucking companies are under financial pressure to deliver goods cheaper and faster than ever before. As a result, corners are cut: drivers find themselves driving long hours, trucks are not always properly maintained, freight is sometimes improperly loaded, and driver training and screening mismanaged. The truck accident lawyers at Rosenberg & Gluck look at both the driver of a truck and the actions of the parent company when investigating truck accidents. Since the trucking industry is governed by state and federal law, both a driver and a truck company are required to keep and maintain certain kinds of records. That’s why we obtain copies of a driver’s logbook, drug test results, driving record, and training history. We uncover violations and hold drivers and truck companies liable for injuries and fatalities they cause through negligence.

We know what to look for in truck accidents and how to expose negligence that injures and kills. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your case, contact personal injury attorneys at the law office of Rosenberg & Gluck today.

Investigating a Truck Accident

Truck companies train drivers in methods for deflecting blame and denying responsibility in accidents. However, certain physical facts and documents make it difficult for drivers to cover-up negligence and safety violations. Our lawyers look at everything, including the following when investigating tractor trailer accidents:

• Driver’s log book
• Results from Highway patrol alcohol and drug tests
• Length of skid marks
• Vehicle maintenance log
• Brase pads and other components
• Driver’s training history
• Company screening of driver’s background

Facing the Costs of a Serious Injury Sustained in a Truck Accident

Since truck accidents often cause serious head, back, and neck injuries, not to mention amputations, burns, and fatalities, providing detailed, accurate projections of your healthcare costs is essential. In order to ensure our clients receive compensation for their medical costs, lost earnings, and pain and suffering, we consult medical experts, economists, and life care planners. Working from established medical data, our experts provide estimates supported by collected medical data, recognized by medical professionals, HMOs, even insurers.
