Getting the Compensation You May Be Entitled to When
You Have Been Injured in a Collision with a Truck

Delaware Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Lawyers

Trucking accidents almost inevitably result in serious injury or death for the drivers and passengers of other vehicles. Sometimes, these truck collision cases are the result of truck drivers working too many hours and falling asleep at the wheel or other violations of federal transportation regulations. They may also be caused by:

• Improper loading of the truck, causing weight to shift
• Overloading a truck, making it harder to slow and stop
• Poor maintenance of the truck
• Faulty equipment on the truck

If your loved one died in a trucking accident with an 18-wheeler, a tractor trailer, a semi, or another commercial vehicle, you may be able to seek financial compensation for your loss.

Attorneys with Knowledge and Experience in Trucking Accident Cases

Interstate trucking is strictly regulated, and trucking companies are required to enforce policies that keep their drivers-and those they share the road with-safe. Drivers with commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) are limited in the number of hours they can drive, must follow all traffic laws, are required to perform a series of safety checks before every trip, are expected to keep detailed logs, and are more restricted in many other ways than regular drivers.

Your attorney will need to understand federal trucking regulations and can interpret the evidence contained in driver's logs, loads, weights, and other data. If you are looking for an injury lawyer to represent you in court, it's important to choose one who has handled these cases before.

If you have been injured in a trucking accident along Delaware Routes 1, 2, 7, 9, 52, 71, 72, 299, or 896, U.S. Routes 13, 40, 202, or 301, I-95, the Kirkwood Highway, or Dupont Parkway, contact one of our four Delaware offices to speak personally with a lawyer about your case.

In your free initial consultation, we will analyze whether you have a case and the likelihood we can help you obtain compensation for your losses, as well as discuss how we can work with you to get any compensation you may be entitled to.
