Missouri Tractor-Trailer Accident Attorneys
Semi-truck accidents are generally more complex than car accidents and must be handled by an experienced attorney. These cases often involve severe injuries — injuries such as spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, paraplegia, quadriplegia and burns, as well as wrongful death.
They can also involve multiple defendants spanning several states. The negligent truck driver may be from one location and the trucking company who employed him may be from another. The truck manufacturer may be from another state entirely. All of these potential defendants may become involved in litigation in an appropriate court.
At the law offices of WARD | HOLLINGSHEAD, located in both Saint Louis and Washington, Missouri, we have the resources necessary to handle this complex litigation. Our law firm uses years of experience to achieve favorable outcomes for people who have been injured in truck accidents.
When we handle your truck accident case, we'll start with a thorough and complete investigation of all the facts and laws that may impact your case. We may partner with accident reconstructionists, engineers, life-care planners and medical experts to collect valuable information that gives us an edge in your case.
There are many different types of truck accidents, and investigations often reveal different causes, including the ones listed below:
- Drivers who drove while tired
- Drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol
- Incorrectly loaded trucks (overloaded vehicles)
- Drivers who operated the vehicles too fast for weather conditions
