Fighting for Victims Injured throughout Pennsylvania & New Jersey

Thousands and thousands of large trucks hit the highways everyday across the country. Motor vehicle accidents involving these large commercial trucks, which are also known as 18-wheelers, semis, big rigs and tractor-trailers, frequently result in devastating injuries or fatalities. At Geoffrey B. Gompers & Associates, our Philadelphia truck accident lawyers help individuals and their families who have been injured or killed in all types of trucking accidents.

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents often involve negligence on the part of the driver, the trucking company or both, as well as the manufacturer of the truck and in some cases even the government. Some of the common causes often associated with trucking accidents include: distracted driving such as using a cell phone, truck driver fatigue, operator inexperience, mechanical failures, driving under the influence, recklessness, speeding, improper or unsecured loading, and rollovers. In addition, roadways, whether they are federal, state or local, may not be properly maintained or designed. In many cases, vehicle defects are found to have caused a trucking accident, including malfunctions of tires, brakes, steering systems, power train, or trailers.

Commercial truck accidents often result in serious injuries or death. More often than not, the victims who are injured face an extensive and painful recovery period. Catastrophic and debilitating injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and paralysis can lead to a future of medical treatments and therapies. Victims are left with extensive medical bills, lost wages and long-term disabilities, mental anguish and persistent pain.  A victim’s life as well as their families’ lives can be completely changed forever.

Seek Legal Representation Immediately When Injured in a Truck Accident

If you or a family member is the victim of a truck accident, seek legal representation as soon as possible from an motor vehicle accident lawyer who is experienced in litigating truck accident cases. Trucking accident claims can be quite challenging and complex because may federal regulations can be involved. Dealing with insurance companies and determining all liabilities can be a complicated process requiring a law firm that has the necessary resources and experience. The goal is to ensure that a victim is fully and fairly compensated for all injuries sustained in the trucking accident and to hold all negligent parties accountable for their actions.
