Should You Get a Lawyer After an Accident?

Richmond Truck Accident Attorney

In most car accident cases, only two parties are involved: The driver who caused the crash, and the victim of the other driver’s negligence. On the other hand,

A truck accident case may involve the victim(s) and numerous at-fault parties, including:

  • Truck driver
  • The driver’s employer
  • The tractor/trailer owner(s) or lessee(s)
  • Shipper
  • Loader
  • Broker
  • Mechanic
  • Truck manufacturer
  • Government entity.

Because all of these parties have financial interests at stake, they will work aggressively to protect those interests after a crash.

You can protect your rights by hiring an experienced Richmond truck accident lawyer as soon as you are able to do so.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a crash involving a tractor-trailer (18-wheeler or semi-truck), Marks & Harrison can:

Conduct a timely, comprehensive investigation – We can send our team of investigators and experts to the crash scene and take other steps to ensure that the tractor-trailer, maintenance records, shipping records, cell phone records, logbooks, and other important evidence are neither lost nor destroyed.
Analyze the evidence – We can examine all evidence involved in your case to determine the cause of your truck accident and to identify all parties who should be held responsible. In many cases, a truck accident is caused by a violation of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Our attorneys have a strong grasp of those regulations and know the role they can play in your case.
Litigate your case – The parties involved in a truck accident often refuse to turn over important information such as driver records, logbooks, or maintenance records. We can file all motions that are necessary to compel those parties to comply with requests for information. We can also challenge any motions that would be harmful to your case.
Seek a timely, full, and fair settlement – Our goal will be to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while, at the same time, obtaining a maximum amount of compensation for you and your family. We can carefully prepare your truck accident claim for settlement discussions with all parties who are at fault in your crash.
If necessary, take your case to court – We are skilled and experienced trial lawyers at Marks & Harrison. We will be ready to file a lawsuit on your behalf and go to trial in order to seek just compensation for you.

While your claim is pending, our semi-truck accident lawyers can deal directly with the insurance companies and other parties involved in your case, allowing you to focus on your physical and mental recovery.
