The Many Scenarios of Tractor-Trailer Mishaps

Tractor-Trailer Accidents and Other Vehicles

When an accident takes place that involves a semi-truck/big-rig/5-wheeler, you can count on the insurance company, immediately, figuring how it will limit what it will pay you.  Whether your car, SUV, motorcycle, or pick-up truck was hit by a tractor trailer, our accident attorneys will utilize their commanding knowledge of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations as they, powerfully and persuasively, present your case.  Our accident attorneys will also include any possible ‘black box’ evidence from the vehicle that could dramatically benefit your case!

Tractor-Trailer Accidents and Bicycles & Motorcycles

Were you on a bicycle or motorcycle when a large truck hit you?  If so, you need to call our law firm right away.  Tractor-trailer accidents can involve speeding, faulty road conditions, or a semi losing control and veering into a designated bicycle lane – the scenarios are many.

The real issue is making sure you receive the monetary recoveries you are due!  Fighting for the rights of Lancaster County clients is our business – give us a call!

Tractor-Trailer Accidents and Pedestrians

People walking or jogging through crosswalks, standing on street corners, or strolling on sidewalks can be, very easily, struck by any type of vehicle.

If you were injured as a pedestrian by a tractor trailer, the at-fault driver must be held accountable.  Additionally, the resistant insurance company or companies must be dealt with, forcefully, to ensure your financial recoveries are maximized.

Be aware, however, that the Pennsylvania statute-of-limitations dictates the amount of time you can legally file a claim to receive compensation for loss of income, medical bills, compromised lifestyle, and more.  Give our team a call to discuss your situation!

Tractor-Trailer Accidents and Distracted Drivers

Distracting driving can take on many forms of carelessness, especially as it applies to mobile-phone usage while behind the wheel.  If the driver of a tractor trailer was using a mobile phone just before the accident occurred, we will uncover the evidence!  We can utilize data from mobile phone records to reveal information that could, greatly, promote the defense of your case.

If the tractor trailer was equipped with a ‘black box’, it’s recorded data could reveal a host of details that could prove negligence on the part of the truck driver or the company that owns the truck – such as maintenance or repairs that were never performed and other critical information.
