“Donna and Ann went the extra mile to make sure that I clearly understood what was going on ...they made communicating an ease. Donna and Ann answered all of my questions expertly and explained things so I could understand them ... they always offered me sound advice, and I never felt like I was an imposition. They made me feel at ease, and they made sure that I was properly prepared for my deposition and ultimately my trial. Not only did my trial end successfully, but my other family members also had favorable settlements thanks to Donna and Ann. Most importantly though, throughout this entire process, I always felt that Donna and Ann cared about my family and me and we still keep in touch.”
Truck Accidents
NEGLIGENCE, VIOLATIONS OF TRUCKING REGULATIONS & TRUCK ACCIDENTS
Tractor-trailer trucks are usually the largest, most powerful vehicles on the road. It’s no wonder then that strict rules are in place that all truckers are supposed to follow to ensure these powerful machines are not involved in accidents that cause serious harm to others.
If you or a loved one is harmed in any way by the negligence of a truck, please reach out to our legal professionals today. We ensure your rights are respected and that those who caused the damage are held accountable.
Our professionals conduct detailed investigations into the aftermath of the case to protect your legal rights. That may include examining the truck in its post-accident condition, reviewing the black box data, interviewing witnesses, and many other details.
Most Common Truck Accident Causes
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) released information detailing the most common causes of truck accidents. They include:
Failure to account for traffic flow problems;
Brake issues;
Impaired and distracted driving;
Driving too fast for road conditions;
Driver fatigue;
Failure to yield; and
Unfamiliarity with the roadway.
Trucking Accident Lawsuits
Truck accident cases are unique. When hiring a lawyer to help in the aftermath of these incidents, it’s critical to hire a team like that at Jones & Rostant, PC with experience in these matters. In addition to the usual issues involved in roadway accidents, truck cases may include other legal matters, like driver credentials, logbooks, mandated rest time, employer obligations, and more.
Ensuring that those responsible for trucking accidents are identified is critical not only to ensure that you receive full compensation for your losses, but also to protect others from suffering similar harm. Truck drivers and companies who do not prioritize safety must be forced to make changes that protect others. The law demands redress and accountability.
A truck accident lawyer can ensure that accountability includes:
Medical expenses;
Lost wages;
Disability and long-term medical care;
Pain and suffering.
Whether a fair settlement can be reached early on or the case must go all the way to trial, a truck accident lawyer takes the reigns of the legal process, allowing you and your family to focus on recovery.
You may be entitled to significant compensation after an accident, which can help you start to rebuild your life. Call Fairfax truck accident lawyer Donna Rostant today at (703) 352-0522 for a free case review.
