Truck / Semi-truck Accident Lawyers – Kansas City, Overland Park, and Surrounding Areas
As demand rises for the delivery of consumer goods and the trucking industry continues to grow, more and more large trucks are sharing the highways with passenger vehicles. Although most truck drivers and trucking companies follow federal trucking laws and exercise due caution on the road, the few who do not can cause serious accidents. The semi-truck accident lawyers at Bottaro, Morefield & Kubin, L.C., serving Kansas City, Overland Park, and nearby cities, believe that negligent truck drivers and trucking companies should be held accountable for their actions. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate all of our truck and semi-truck accident cases and have a record of achieving favorable settlements for victims and their families.
Truck Accident Injuries
Because semi trucks, big rigs, and other large trucks are significantly heavier than passenger vehicles, the impacts of these collisions are much more severe than collisions between two passenger vehicles. As a result, they often lead to serious medical problems such as burns, abrasions, bone fractures, internal damage, spine and back injury, and traumatic brain injury. Our truck accident lawyers can determine whether you are eligible for financial compensation for your medical expenses based on the circumstances of your accident.
Truck Accident Investigation and Reconstruction
Because truck drivers are paid by the mile, they are often pressured to keep driving past the point of exhaustion. Doing so may lead to unsafe driving decisions that endanger the lives of truck drivers and everyone else on the road. If it is discovered that a truck driver or his or her supervisors acted negligently by violating the federal rule concerning hours of service, all parties can be held liable for any injuries or deaths that occur as a result. Other common causes of car and truck accidents include poor truck maintenance, vehicle defects, and dangerous weather conditions.
In most collisions, the insurance carrier covering the semi-truck company will send its team to the scene of the truck accident immediately. Because this team has a vested interest in protecting the trucking company, the claims of the passenger vehicle’s driver are not always represented fairly. Our semi-truck accident lawyers in Kansas City, Overland Park , and surrounding areas will conduct their own investigation of your accident to ensure that your interests are represented.
