18 Wheeler Crashes & Truck Accidents

Resolving lawsuits from 18 wheeler crashes requires experience.

After being injured in an 18 wheeler crash it is important to contact an attorney as soon as your health allows. Many 18 wheeler, or over-the-road truck companies have professional insurance defense investigators that are not working for your benefit.

When there is an 18 wheeler crash involving one of their trucks, they may have an investigator on the accident scene within hours. You may still be getting treated in the emergency room, while they are working to find ways to limit their liability and blame you for the crash.

Your 18 Wheeler crash & Fibich Hampton

The 18 wheeler truck driver is not always the only one at fault. Often, an improper load weight distribution may have caused the truck to handle poorly. The truck may have been improperly maintained, causing the brakes or steering to fail. In many cases, management's expectation of driver delivery times may exceed the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA) regulations.
