Upper Marlboro Attorneys:
Truck Accidents
An accident involving a passenger vehicle and a semi truck is likely to result in serious or fatal injuries to occupants of the smaller vehicle. In addition to the catastrophic nature of the injuries, a truck accident case will involve state and federal regulations and multiple insurance claims. Our attorneys have litigated cases against trucking companies and have been retained by trucking companies to defend serious accidents. If you or a member of your family was injured in a collision involving a commercial vehicle, it is extremely important that you consult with an attorney with experience in similar cases before making any statement to insurance company representatives or signing a settlement form.
Do I have a case?

They will be happy to evaluate your case and help you make a well-informed decision about any insurance settlement offer. If you would like to meet with a member of the firm, please contact our office to arrange a complimentary consultation.
What caused the truck accident?
Our attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts surrounding the accident. They will work closely with accident reconstructionists and scientific experts, examine reports of the Maryland Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) investigators, and law enforcement agencies, and interview witnesses to determine all causes contributing to the crash. If defective equipment or overloading caused a tire blowout, or driver error was the result of negligence on the part of the trucking company, you may be entitled to a personal injury claim in addition to auto insurance benefits.
What insurance is available?
Depending on the circumstances of an 18 wheeler wreck there may be several insurance policies that cover losses due to injuries. Our lawyers will see that you receive necessary medical treatment and will identify and coordinate all insurance claims to provide you with the greatest benefit.
