- Shifting loads
- Tractor separation because of trailers that unhitch
- Tire separation and blowouts
Highways with heavy truck traffic, such as I-94 and I-294, Route 41, and Route 120, are frequently congested. This adds to the probability of a truck crash causing serious injuries to other drivers.
Truck Accident Injuries

Our firm negotiated a $3.5 million settlement in a case involving a grain truck running a stop sign and colliding with our client's semi-tractor trailer head-on. Plaintiff sustained severe head injuries and survived for just over one year in a permanent vegetative state. |
Truck accidents are frequently fatal to drivers of smaller vehicles. Our personal injury law practice represents families of victims who have died in truck accidents. While we know there is no amount of money that could ever adequately compensate for the loss of a loved-one, we fight to obtain compensation in order to ease the family's financial burden.
How a Trucking Accident Lawyer Can Help
At Salvi & Maher, our attorneys know what to do to begin the process of obtaining compensation for your serious injuries. We hire specialists to investigate the truck crash scene. These experts measure skid marks, examine tires, review drivers logs, and maintenance records in order to identify the responsible parties.
We do not hesitate to file lawsuits against large interstate trucking corporations, insurance companies, and vehicle maintenance businesses. However, we also know that reaching a settlement is sometimes in the client's best interests. In short, our approach to truck accident injury claims, and every case we handle, is guided by what is best for the client.
