We offer aggressive and thorough legal representation for truck accident victims.

Anyone who has spent time driving understands that large trucks are a constant sight on the roads. The trucking industry is a mainstay of the American economy and unfortunately trucking accidents occur nearly every day. If you have sustained serious injuries or extensive damage as a result of an accident, consider contacting the team of experienced truck accident lawyers at McDonald Law Firm.

We don’t get paid unless you win. Period.

The last thing you need to worry about is how to pay for an attorney when you are juggling medical bills, car repairs, time off work, etc. We’ll handle your personal injury case on a contingency basis, which means you never owe our firm any out-of-pocket fees or expenses. We only get paid if we win compensation for you ― either through settlement or a trial.

Our firm handles all types of truck claims, including:

Pick-up truck accidents
18-wheeler accidents
Dump truck accidents
Flatbed truck accidents
Fuel rig accidents
Garbage truck accidents
Tanker truck accidents
Tow truck accidents
Tractor-trailer accidents

Truck accidents can be especially devastating.

Commercial trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds, and they can move with as much speed as much smaller vehicles. As a result, when a truck accident occurs, the basic physics involved leave behind a wake of devastation. These vehicles can tear through anything that they encounter, and they are also prone to tipping on their sides which creates an entirely different type of danger. It’s not uncommon for truck drivers to escape an accident relatively unscathed while the passengers of the car they hit suffer catastrophic injuries.

Protect yourself.

Talk to an experienced truck accident lawyer before you…

Provide statements about your accident.
Don’t be pressured into sharing information that could be used against you to limit how much you are paid for your accident.
Sign any medical authorization release forms.
Information on these forms could expose private health history that may work against you in a claim.
Discuss or consider a settlement.
Negotiating a settlement without a lawyer could result in settlement offers that are much lower than the claim is actually worth.

Our goal is to ease your burden, not add to it.

If you’ve been injured or suffered because of a negligent truck driver or trucking company, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your losses. Hiring McDonald Law Firm from the start could make a significant difference in how much, and how soon, you may receive financial compensation. With decades of experience, we’ll provide you with effective representation when you need it most.

Discovery for trucking accidents can be an uphill battle.

If you file a personal injury lawsuit against a trucking company, the discovery process is one of the most important steps your truck accident lawyer will take. Our truck accident lawyers will uncover evidence that could be of critical importance to your case:

Was the driver an employee, an independent contractor or a sole proprietor at the time of the accident?
How many hours was the driver allowed to drive?
Did the driver keep accurate logs of his or her time behind the wheel?
Was the driver licensed, qualified and/or trained to operate the truck involved in the accident?
Was the vehicle properly maintained?
Did the company property vet the driver before hiring him/her?

Trucking company negligence may be a factor.

Many truck accidents result from individual driver error or reckless behavior at the wheel.. However, a substantial number of truck accidents result from trucking company negligence. Trucking companies have legal obligations to both their employees and other drivers on the road to not recklessly endanger their well-being.

Few industries are more heavily regulated than the trucking industry. Every aspect of moving a load of cargo must meet certain guidelines and rules, including the type of cargo involved, the weight of the cargo, how the cargo is loaded and how many hours at one time the driver is allowed to drive.
