Since the late 1970s, approximately 12 to 13% of all motor vehicle fatal crashes were the result of a wreck involving a large truck. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, there were 4,930 large trucks involved in fatal crashes, 101,000 involved in injury crashes, and 351,000 involved in property damage only crashes for a total of 457,000 large trucks involved in motor vehicle accidents in 2000. 

We will work to get you paid immediately for your lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage.

Moore Law Group have represented individuals who received injuries in truck crashes caused by trucks that have jackknifed, rolled over, or lost control due to excessive speeds. Other cases involved drivers’ negligence due to: sleeping at the wheel, use of a cell phone, tailgating, and speeding. Our attorneys also have experience handling cases of negligent maintenance of trucks. These cases involve companies that fail to properly maintain their tractor-trailers, i.e., worn out tires, inadequate brakes, burned out lights. If you are the victim of a trucker’s negligence either due to operation or maintenance, then call the attorneys at Moore Law Group.

5. If able, photograph the accident scene prior to the vehicles being moved and photograph the damage to your vehicle.
6. Ask for the name of the responding police officer.
7. Obtain the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any witnesses.
