Truck Accidents

New York Trucking Accident and Head Injury Attorneys

Trucks speeding down the road with inattentive, impaired, or exhausted drivers are truly a deadly weapon. Serious injuries and death have resulted from a trucking accident. At Marcus Ollman & Kommer, LLP, in New Rochelle, New York, we represent clients who have been hurt in a trucking accident or lost a loved one due to negligence.

Managing Your Trucking Accident Case

While there will be a level of fear and uncertainty, medical coverage should not be your primary concern following your trucking accident. Part of our case management services involves helping you get the medical treatment you need and ensuring your bills are covered. Our focus as your personal injury advocates will be to establish liability following the severe accident. The trucking company will often be held responsible for your injuries, not necessarily the individual suffering from driver fatigue.

Identifying the Party Responsible for Your Trucking Accident

At Marcus Ollman & Kommer, LLP, we will go through the corporate structure of a trucking company to find the responsible party. The truck's registration may list the owner of the truck, but not the company that would be responsible. We may know the identities of the driver and the truck owner, but the company may not be as easily identifiable. Locating the proper defendants is vital to your case, and we have the skills to do just that.

Thorough Knowledge of Laws and Statutes

Our trucking accident attorneys also have a thorough knowledge of the related statutes that involve interstate trucking and the items carried in the truck's trailer. Truck drivers are required to drive for certain amounts of time and to take a certain number of breaks. Careful planning and attention to detail are necessary in establishing your case and proving the liability of the responsible party. Driving records, log books, and data from the truck's black box need to be secured and analyzed.
