Truck Accidents

New Haven Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck accidents are often more serious and more legally complicated than a typical car accident. By their sheer size and mass, trucks can cause massive injuries, like brain or spinal cord injury, and fatalities as well as property damage when they are involved in a crash.

If you have been injured or a loved one suffered a wrongful death in a truck crash, please contact a New Haven truck accident attorney at Jacobs, Grudberg, Belt, Dow & Katz today to schedule a free consultation and case evaluation.

Our semi tractor-trailer accident attorneys are skilled at handling the legal concerns involved in truck wrecks and can help you recover the maximum amount of compensation you deserve for your injuries, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Our truck accident lawyers will review your case and identify all possible sources of financial recovery, from the garage that performed improper maintenance to the warehouse that improperly loaded the trailer.

We will explore all possible reasons for the accident:

  • Speeding
  • Driver fatigue
  • Improper maintenance
  • Tire blow outs
  • Load shifts
  • Improper lane use
  • Improper passing techniques
  • Visibility issues such as blind spots
  • Bad brakes

Trucks hauling goods on Connecticut interstates are often owned by companies in another state or a Canadian province, complicating legal issues because each state and country has its own regulations for insurance coverage.

More parties are usually involved in an 18-wheeler accident than in a car accident. It's not uncommon for the tractor, the trailer, the contents of the trailer, and the driver all to be insured by separate companies.

Trucking in the U.S. is a highly regulated activity, with strict rules for vehicle maintenance and strict limits on the number of hours a driver can be behind the wheel.

No matter how large or complex your truck accident claim, you can rely on the attorneys of Jacobs, Grudberg, Belt, Dow & Katz to protect your rights and pursue your best interests. Please contact a New Haven truck accident attorney at our firm today. Your initial consultation is free and you will pay no attorneys fees unless win we compensation in your case.
