Trucking Company Negligence
Truck accidents can be caused by many problems – poor decision-making by a tired truck driver, faulty brakes, distracted driving or other factors – but some of them are the fault of the company that owns or operates the vehicle or manages the trucker. When a trucking company’s negligence causes someone’s injury or death on the road, injured people and their families can sue that trucking company for damages.
If you or a loved one was seriously hurt in an accident with an 18-wheeler, a tractor-trailer or another commercial vehicle, the attorneys of Wesley, McGrail & Wesley can help you understand your legal rights – and guide you regarding what to do next. If you are entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages or wrongful death, we may be able to represent you in maximizing that compensation and holding negligent parties accountable for their actions.
