Accidents involving commercial trucks can result in severe injuries and complex legal proceedings.

Whether it's investigating possible causes such as driver negligence or equipment failure, or dealing with insurance companies, we are here to help you navigate through the complexities of truck accident claims.

Handling The Complexities of Semitruck Claims

Commercial trucks have the potential to cause much greater damage and injury than passenger cars when collisions occur. Our firm has experience handling the unique issues that surround accidents involving commercial vehicles, including:

• Possible equipment failures
• Potential driver error or evidence of drunk or distracted driving
• Failure to update log books or falsifying log reports
• Potential overweight and overloading violations

Commercial semi-truck accidents often mean working with multiple insurance companies. Since our firm’s experience includes handling claims for both plaintiffs and defendants, we are not daunted by this fact. In fact, we have the resources and experience to help accident victims seek compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.

Understanding Liability in Truck Accidents

Determining liability in truck accidents is crucial for obtaining compensation for injuries and damages. At Adler Law Group, LLC Attorneys at Law, our truck accident lawyers specialize in identifying key factors contributing to liability and holding responsible parties accountable. This includes investigating driver negligence, such as speeding, distracted driving, fatigue, or impaired driving, to establish liability. Additionally, we scrutinize trucking companies for negligent hiring, training, or supervision practices, as they may also be held accountable.

Neglecting vehicle maintenance or inspections can lead to accidents, and we analyze maintenance records and inspection reports to uncover any negligence in this area. Improper loading or securing of cargo can cause accidents, and we determine if proper procedures were followed. Leveraging our expertise in state and federal trucking regulations, we build strong cases on behalf of our clients to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from truck accidents.

Experienced Legal Help Following Mass Transit Accidents

Bus transportation is becoming increasingly common, especially along the busy I-95 corridor that links Washington, D.C., New York and Boston. Drivers in Connecticut must negotiate more and more bus traffic that commutes between these heavily populated areas.

Accidents involving school buses, commercial carrier buses and charter buses can cause significant damage and catastrophic injuries. We represent drivers and passengers of other vehicles involved in crashes caused by a bus driver’s negligence, as well as bus passengers injured by other drivers.
