Our attorneys represent clients who were injured in a broad range of truck accidents, including those involving:

• Driver fatigue
• DUI
• Lack of training
• Unlicensed drivers
• Improper maintenance
• Improper loading
• Tailgating
• Speeding
• Tire or brake failure
• Violation of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations

We will investigate your truck accident to determine the cause and identify all possible sources of liability. Was the driver asleep at the wheel? Were the truck's tires defective? We will find out.

Our law firm will obtain and analyze data from the driver's log books as well as from the "black box" recorder and satellite tracking system on trucks equipped with these devices. In many cases, an accident reconstructionist will conduct a study into the cause of the accident.

Because our attorneys are familiar with state and federal regulations that govern commercial trucking, we are able to recognize when a truck, trucking company, or driver are violating them. The result is often a larger financial recovery for our client.

To learn more, please contact an attorney at Hersh & Hersh. The initial consultation is free and you will pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
