Truck Accident Lawyers Serving Nebraska, Iowa and Beyond
If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, you want a lawyer on your side who understands the opponents in these cases. At the law firm of Welsh & Welsh, our experience representing those who have been injured in truck collisions means that we are familiar with the trucking industry itself. This familiarity is critical, because success in these cases often depends upon knowledge of the unique regulations that apply to this industry. We have that knowledge and we will put it to work to help you get justice in your truck accident case.
The Rules of the Trucking Industry
Semi-trucks are large commercial vehicles that are subject to specific rules. There are regulations that apply to:
- Hiring of truck drivers
- Training of truck drivers
- Driving record of truck drivers
- Maintenance of vehicles
- Weight of vehicles
- Number of hours that can be driven
Our attorneys have had the opportunity to investigate a number of truck accidents. We have learned that violations of these trucking regulations often play a part in truck accidents. For example, upon investigation, we may learn that the truck driver who caused the accident did not take proper rest breaks, or that the truck he was driving was loaded improperly. If we are able to show a violation of any of the numerous trucking regulations, we will be able to clearly demonstrate negligence and obtain maximum compensation for you.
When you enlist our law firm, you can be confident that we have knowledge of the opposition. Christopher P. Welsh has served as a defense attorney representing insurance companies. This is important, because it means we know the mindset of our opposition. We know their strengths and weaknesses. We know how to successfully take them on, because we have firsthand knowledge of what works against them.
